The Kansas City Journal of Sept. has
the following correspondence from To-
peka:
Topeka, Sept. 7.-(Special) -Depart-
ment Commander A. w. Smith Of the
Kansas G.s A. R. returned to-day from
San Francisco, where he attended the
national encampment. He brought home
the news that General Ell Torrance of
Manneap polls, Mimi, was to receive the
backing Of the old soldiers of the west
for Roosevelts running mate next year.
THE political situation was thoroly
discussed by the Grand Army men at San
Francisco" said he 1T was unanimously
agreed that Roosevelt would be the repub-
lican nominee for president, and we were
all glad Of that. It was also agreed that
the candidate for vice president should
come from the west or northwest and
that he should be an old soldier. The
chances are that no civil war veteran will
ever again be president. For that reason
the old soldiers believe they should have
some voice in the selection of a vice pres
ident, and that he should be of their num-
Der. A long list of names was canvassed
thoroly, and it finally sifted down to the
selection of General Ell Torrance as the
available candidate for vice president.
He was commander in chief Of the ma
tional G. A. r. two years ago, and is
known from ocean to ocean. He has ac-
complished more things for the benefit of
| the old soldier than any other commander
in-chief before or since. His war record
Is good. He fought in a Pennsylvania
regiment. He is a lawyer of great ability
and has served on the bench of Mime
sofa. AS an orator he is among the best,
and he ranks with Roosevelt as a writer.
He and Roosevelt both spoke at Airing

circular to- the creameries and butter
makers of the state
When seen by T h e J u n a / this
morning, Mr.. Mcconnell admitted that he
had made such a decision, but declined
to discuss it, as he said the circular had
not been issued.
Minnesota will be the first state to pro-
In making this ruling, however, Mr.. Nc
Cornell is only following the law, and al
ready the use Of coal tar or aniline colors
is prohibited In other food products. They
are considered injurious to health. This
being true, the Minnesota department
has decided that butter-makers cannot
be exempted. If they color their butter
they must do it with preparations that
are known not to be injurious to the
human system.
Vegetable colors are more expensive
than the coal tar products, and are there
fore not used so much. However, the
difference in cost is not much, and the
quantity used is SO small that 1t will
make only trif1ing difference in the
profits of butter-makers. On the other
hand, when the new regulation is en-
forced, it will give Minnesota butter an
even better standing for purity and high
quality than 1t has to-day, and the new
rule should add to the market price of
Minnesota butter in New York.
The time allowed by the order gives the
er-makers two months and half to
get rid Of the coal tar colors they have
on hand.
It Is believed that other states will soon
follow Minnesota's lead. Scientists have
experimental with the coal tar colors and
found that in small doses they will kill
cats. Those who have conducted the ex-
periments are satisfied that even in small
quantities these colors are Injurious to the
| human system.

London, Sept 11.-From all parts of
the country come reports Of destruction
on land and sea by the terrific gale. The
wind has now abated, but telegraph and
other communication with the outside
world is only possible after much delay.
In some cases the lines are entirely down.
The suburbs Of the metropolis are lit

been blown down. The tents of the first
army corps, which was under canvas pre-

is possible that the whole force may be
recalled from Aldershot.
The breakwaters of the new harbor in

of many thousands of pounds sterling.

The complaint charges that, according
to an indictment returned in Washington
August w. Machen, general superinten-
dent Of the free delivery system, in COM
pany with George Beavers and James w.
Erwin, did conspire together with divers
other persons to dIfraud the United
States by giving to, and obtaining for the

pany, corporation organized under the
laws of California, in manner contrary
to law and the postal regulations, the iex-
elusive opportunity for, and business OF,
furnishing to the free delivery service
certain articles, supplies and equipment
free from all competition at unreasonable
and exorbitant rates, far above the ordi-
nary cost.
The complaint further charges that the
articles SO secured were 100 Of the 1ndi-
Gated devices, and that Machen concealed
from all other persons DESTROYS of fur
nishing such supplies an opportunity to
compete in the sale Of the same, and that
the exigency Of the service did not de-

first assistant postmaster general con-
corning these facts.
It is charged that Beavers, Erwin and
MacIen divided between themselves and
others the excess Of moneys and the I'M
lawful gain accruing to the Postal Device
and Improvement company, in conse-
quence of this conspiracy.

When Judge Torrances attention was
called to this matter to-day, he said he
had heard some talk about the matter at
San Francisco. He knew that his name
had been considered in that connection
but that he had not encouraged any effort
in his own behalf. OF course, he felt

but he had not yet allowed himself to-

He hoped, however, that II the move

thought felt that while they perhaps
might not expect to have one Of their
number in the presidential chair again
they would like to have an old soldiers
