GOVERNOR At OFFICE.
lie Is Not Well But Attends to
Business.

Governor Bailey is able to be up to-
day and was brought down to the state
house this morning. He spent two or
three hours in his office, going over the
correspondence which had accumulated
during the last few days, and listening
to the claims of rival candidates for
appointment as sheriff of Barton
county.
The governor thinks he has checked
the attack of pneumonia which threat1
ened him, but he is quite weak, and hfs
nerves are in such bad condition that
he can scarcely sign his name, result
ing from the attack of grip which ne
has been going through He is not
used to being i'll, and it goes hard with
him. He says he never called a doctor
more than two or three times before in
his life except once when he suffered
from q broken leg.
The supreme judgeship matter was
not taken UP by the governor and no
appointment will be made today. One
is looked for by the middle of the
week, however.
Judge Elric Cole. of Great Bend,
called and presented w r. Bunting,
who is a candidate for the appointment
of sheriff of Barton county to succeed
J. r. Johnson, who died some time
ago. Waiting to see the governor at
the same time was Ira Clark editor of
the Great Bend Register, who is sup
porting Frank Millard for the appoint
ment. Governor Bailey listened some
time to both sides, but took no action
on The matter.

Mr.. Field was very well known in
Topeka and was man of exceptionally
fine character. For many years he was
principal of Lincoln school. Two years
ago he commenced taking a little in
terest in politics and has since held a
position on the Republican city CEN
trail committee. A year ago he relin-
qulshed his position in the city schools
to take up the practice of law for
which he had been preparing during
leisure hours for some years. He had
considerable promise of a successful
law practice.
When Mr. Field was years of age
he left his birthplace, Springfield, Ill,
and came to Kansas. That was in
1868. His parents settled in WelIsVnIe
and later moved to Pacla. His educa-
tion was secured at the normal school
there, at Shurtleff college, Alton, Ill,
and at Kansas university. He was a
member of the graduating class of
1885. He taught in Mound City, Wells
vile and Olivet college. In 1890 he
married Miss Ella Hubbel of Law
renee. Three girls and a boy surviv Z
him although two children are dead.
The funeral will be held at 1890 p. M,
Tuesday, from the First Baptist church
where he has been principal OF the
Sunday school for seven years. The
body will be taken to Lawrence for
burial

new HIGH RECORD.
Cotton Passes IA Cents for
Futures on N. 7. Exchange.

New York. Dec. 2S-New high records
prices were made amid the greatest
excitement at the opening of the cotton
exchange today. First prices were at
an advance of % to 81 points. Before
the call was fairly completed, March
had sold at 14O1. May at 1920 and July
at 1414. The advance followed the sur
prising strength at Liverpool, where
prices were II to 20 points higher at the
time of the local opening instead of a
shade lower as expected with private
cables ascribing gains to heavy buy
ing The early market was active and
excited.
There was tremendous buying for
both accounts with New Orleans sup
porting just enough to add to the ap-
prehension of shorts who were in ap-
parently a panic stricken condition But
realizing, too, was very heavy and after
the call prices showed a heavy declin-
ing tendency sagging off several points
from the best after the first Is or 20
minutes. although the market continued
very feverish and unsettled with most
of the selling by parties having profits
to take.

z. G. GETS AN ORDER.
100000 Pounds of Meat for the
Russian Army.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 2S.-The Rus
sian government has just placed an or
der with Armour & Co. for a million
and a half pounds of mess meat for i'm
mediate shipment to San Francisco.
The order calls for the delivery of the
meat at San Francisco by January %.
The meat, it is said, is for the use of
the Russian army, and it's destination
is said to be Port Arthur.
It appears that the order was re-
ceived in this city last week and al
ready one-third of the quantity of
meat has been started already The or
der came through the San Francisco
branch of the local packing house and
is said to have been placed originally
with San Francisco commission firms.
The management of the packing house
here was unable or unwilling to say
whether future orders from the same
source were expected. nor could they
state the exact destination of the
shipments. The order was for mess
beef, or that class of meat capable of
being kept for a long period.

MAC ARTHUR SILENT.
The General Refuses to Discuss
His War Prediction.

San Francisco, Dec. 2s-General Nc
Arthur returned yesterday from the
Hawaiian ISLANDS where he has been
making q military inspection. One of
the generals first questions was for
news concerning the Jepan-Russian
controversy. He was then asked:
rs it true, general, that your visit to
the islands was cut short by the prob
ability of war in Panama."
The general considered the question a
moment and said: We'll, I am here"
His attention was directed to the re-
cent activity displayed in the transport
service and he remarked; L have not
been notified about the transports"
General Macarthur declined to talk
about the interview in which he is as
serted to have predicted war between
Germany and the United States.

WAITING FOR
WORD TO GO.
COIOmbia's Representatives Are
Packing Up Their Things
Preparatory to Abandoning the
Legation at Washington.
KNOW HAYS ANSWER.
Are Only Awaiting for Its
Formal Presentation.
When They Will Sever DiplO-
matte Relations With Us.

Washington. Dec. 2S.-Although Sec
retary Hay has not yet replied to the
note OF General Reyes, preparations
are going on rapidly for the closing of
the Colombian legation here and the
departure of Colombia's representatives
for home. 1t is clear that they do not
entertain very much hope of a salts
factory response by this government.
Already most of the legation files have
been packed and arrangements COM
pleted for placing them in storage here.
General Reyes for several days has de-
MED himself to callers. 1t is believed
that while the reply of Mr.. Hay has
not been made, sufficient information
has been obtained by the Colombian
representatives in the interviews they
have had with the secretary to enable
them to forecast it's conclusions. The
preparations going on for closing up
the affairs of the legation would seem
to indicate that General Reyes and DR..
Herran are awaiting only as a matter
of form and diplomatic courtesy, the
official communication of Mr.. Hay set
ting forth the reasons why this govern
ment can not accept their view of the
Panama situation before severing dip
lomatic relations with the United
States.
MORE WARSHIPS FOR ISTHMUS.
Washington, Dec. 2s.-The fleets of
warship on both sides of the isthmus
of Panama will shortly be reinforced
by several vessels now on their way
to that quarter. The gunboat Topeka
of the Atlanic training squadron left
Key West yesterday for Colon by way
of Kingston as convoy of the torpedo
boat destroyers Truxton and Stewart
which have been assigned to patrol
duty on the Caribbean coast of the
isthmus. The gunboat Castine arrived
at Colon yesterday from Philadelphia
none the worse for her recent ground
ing on a bar in the Delaware river.
The big collier Caesar has left Cufebra
for Colon with coal for the fleet. The
Averted Dixie left League island to-
day for Colon with the Panama marine
brigade, numbering about 600 men in
command of Brfggenolt. Naval move
ments in the direction of the isthmus
have been almost equally active on the
Pacific coast. tThe gunboat Petrol,
bound for Panama, arrived at Acapul-
co. Mexico, on the 26th instant and
undoubtedly has left there by this
time. The flagship New York, the
gunbOat Bennington the torpedo boat
destroyer Preble and Paul Jones, and
the collier Saturn have been fitted out
at San Francisco for service in the
vicinity of Panama and it is expected
that all of them will start south in a
GaV two.

BIG WHISKY DEAL.
Cincinnati Concern Makes
$4,000 Barrel Purchase.

Cincinnati, O., Dec. eS.-A gigantic
whisky deal involving the purchase by
a Cincinnati concern of about 25,0 900
barrels of Kentucky bourbon. has just
been completed by James Levy & Bro,
whisky dealers, witt -C.fices in the
Traction building. The whisky was
purchased from the Kentucky Distil-
leries and Warehouse company, which
is the Kentucky branch of the Distil-
ling Company of America, the whisky
trust.
The whisky is now in the T. P. Ripy
bonded warehouse, near Lawrence
burg, Ky. and the low price" or ac-
tual price, paid for the goods is said
to be over $400 900. Before this whisky
can be secured or redeemed from its
governmental supervision it must be
tax paid, which amounts to about S48
a barrel, making the deal involve about
$1,2000 600 in government taxes alone
This makes the deal aggregate, when
the whisky is finally all tax paid, some
thing over 81, 100000
This is the second largest deal in
whisky ever consummated in this city.
A portion of this whisky was a part of
a lot of 10000 barrels recently sold to
the Kentucky DistilIeries and Ware
house company.

New York. Dec. 2s.-Contracts will
soon be let for the erection on lower
Broadway of the tallest building on
earth. With five stories below the street
level, forty stories high from the side

mounted by sixty-foot tower. the
gigantic new building. which will be
known as the Broadway -Courtlandt,
viii have total height of 615 feet,
making it over twice as high as the
Flatiron brilGing and almost as tall
again as the Park Row building, which
now holds the record
Plans for the construction of the
Broadway-C building were
started almost year ago. when a
syndicate was formed with Henry c.
Frlck, the PittSburg steel magnate and
Bird S. Coler of this city as the prime
movers. The land needed for the site
was quickly secured through brokers
during the spring and summer and the
plot. with a frontage of 212 feet in
Broadway, extends 100 feet down Dey
street to the tall telephone building and
l23 feet down Cortlandt street.
The building is estimated to cost
600 while the site will have cost about
$5.OO0.000. The plots on which the
Broadway -Cortlandt will be built are
now occupied by low. old-fashioned
brick and wooden structures, erected
years ago. AS the new structure is to
be completed early in November. 1904
the work of razing these buildings pre-
paratory to excavating will be begun
soon after New Years day.
Instead of sinking caissons for the sup

the lower part of Manhattan island at a
depth of almost so feet. The massive ma
sonry foundations, which will be further
underground than the various rapid tran
sit tunnels, will be 20 feet in depth and
this will permit of five stories below the
curb.
The lowest of these floors will be occt1-

whole structure. The next two floors will
serve as storage rooms for tenants, while

In the matter of decoration the taIIest
office building will be one of the hand
soonest structures in the city. White
marble will compose the outer walls from
the street to the fifteenth floor, and the
remainder of the building on all sides
will be faced with white porcelain brick.
