REPUBLICANS IN
KANSAS ARE SPLIT

Next Election.
Special to The Globe.

TOPEKA, Kan. Oct lit would NOT
surprise some persons to see a repetition
OF the revolution of 1890 at next wears
election in this state. Kansas has been
qu1escent about as long as its patience
and temper will permit The Republicans
nave been in power six years and the
party Is now burdened by bitter warfare
between two factions, which began with
the nomination of Gov. Bailey eighteen
months ago.
Mr. Bailey was supported by that fac
ton of the party which has since receiv-
ed the name of machine" After his
nomination and election it was announced
that the legislature would be organized
in harmony with his administration Cy-
rus Leland, former national committee
man and pension agent at this place, had
been deposed from both Offices He has a
thirty-year record in state politics and is
Mr.. Bailey's personal adviser
Gov. Bailey Is a comparatively young
man and good public speaker, but the
people Of Kansas have the impression
that he Is not really the governor. Mr..
Leland is believed to be really the die
tator OF the administration. The disaf-
fection has been growing stronger and
the Republicans are badly split. The
Democrats and Populists are ready to
and if he will accept they will sweep the
state.

CINCINNATI. Ohio. Oct. 17.-The
jury in the case of Daniel Voorhees,
Miller and Joseph NJ. Johns, on
trial in the federal court here all week
on the charge of an alleged conspiracy
TO extort a bribe. reported shortly be-
fore midnight that it was unable to
agree and was discharged by Judge
Thompson.
The trial attracted unusual atten-
ton, as it was the first one under the
many recent indictments for alleged
frauds in the postofice department.
Four days were devoted to the taking
of evidence, and the fifth day to the
very generous arguments of District
Attorney Mcpherson and Assistant
Thomas H Darby for the government.
and Hiram d. Rulison and Charles w.
Baker for the defendants. Gen. Robb.
Chief Cochran and others from Wash-
ington were here assisting in the pros
ecution.
The scenes in the court room at mid
night were somewhat dramatic, as the
members of the family of the defend
ants and their friends from Terre
Haute and Rockville. and other parts
of Indiana, gathered around them. The
disagreement of thesjury was generally
regarded as somewhat favorable to the
defendants.
The jury considered the case for six
hours and half. 1t was undisturbed
from o. m. until 11:1O. -'hen Judge
Thompson sent for it, and the jurS
asked for further instructions. Judge
Thompson then told the jurors that he
would instruct them about any matter
of law. but that they must settle mat
ters of facts among themselves. He di-
rected the jury to retire again and
submit its request for further instruc-
tions in writing.
At II: 35 o. m. the jury came in again
and in writing reported as follows:
I'VE find that we are unable to agree
upon a matter of fact"
Judge Thompson then questioned
the jury as to the probability of reach
ing an agreement. and on being ad
vised that there was no such proba-
bility, without additional Instructors,

LINE is RESURVEYED
Mason and Dixon Boundary
Fixed by Commission.

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 1.-THE IA
nous Mason and Dixon line, for gen.
erations regarded as the boundary be-
tween the free states of the North and
the slave states of the South, has been
resurveyed and remarked.
The old line was run just after the
close of the French and Indian war in
1853 to mark the boundary between
William PENIS colony on the north
and the colony of Virginia and Lord
Baltimore's proprietary domain of
Maryland on the south.
Afterward when the anti-slavery ag-
itatiOn began to absorb the interest or
the nation Mason and Dixon's line, be-
tween free Pennsylvania and the two
slave states, came to be regarded as
the dividing line between the antag-
onistic sections and the slave country
to the south was spoken of as Dixie" "
William Bullock Clark, state geolo-
gist, has received letter from Capt.
W. c. Hodgkins, of the United States
coast and geodetic survey, announcing
privately the completion Of the work
of resurveying the line. Capt. Hodg-
kins is now in London as expert engt-
neer for the Alaskan boundary COM
mission. He was appointed to take
charge of the Mason and Dixon line re-
survey by the superintendent of the
coast survey, who, with Mr.. Bullock
for Maryland and Gen. James w.
Latta for Pennsylvania, form the
boundary line commission. The Mason
and Dixon line is 200 miles long and
the work of resurvey has taken more
than a year.
"It definitely fixes for the first time
where Maryland leaves off and where
Pennsylvania begins" said Mr.. Clark.
'1t will be of immense value in deter
mining and fixing disputed property
rights. For forty miles at its western
ends we found only mounds and rough
wooden posts, rotted away. Some had
been used for fuel. The stones were
mile apart. The missing ones we have
replaced and all are now firmly set
in a bed of cement.
Every fifth stone is marked with
the arms of William Penn and Lord
Baltimore respectively on different
Sides The others 1--we simply the let
ters P. and NJ. respectively on either
side Counties in which the boundary
line is arbitrary and not natural will
mark their own boundaries. The Sus-
quehanna river forms part of the nat
ural boundary. On many of the stones
we found quaint inscriptions, some of
them a century old. Others had been
buried beneath the surface. The new
line will be much straighter than the
old. 1t is work that has been sorely
needed for more than a century. The
public report will be made soon, I be-
lieve."

LEAVE WAGES ALONE
Gompers Warns Members OF
National Civic Federation.

CHICAGO, Oct IA warming to
capital against cutting wages, if finan-
cial depression comes, by President
Gompers, of the American Federation
of Labor, and plea for harmony be-
tween employers and toilers by Sena-
tor Hanna were made at the closing
session Of the National Civic Fedora
tion conference today.
Mr.. Gompers had listened to the ar
guments of the representatives of cap
ital and labor, who had come from va
rious parts of the country to discuss
questions that would aid in bringing
them closer together. 1t was in reply
to one of the speakers, the editor of q
New York paper, who at the session
the day before took occasion to tell the
employers and employees in the event of
possible financial reaction, not to
make any unreasonable demands on
the employers, and Mr.. Gompers spoke
on the harm that would follow any at
tempt to lower wages.
President Gompers answered many
of the charges made by the speakers
and took particular exception to some
Of the statements made.
Senator Hanna answered a number
of other speakers, including those for
capital and labor, advised conservatism
in all disputes between labor and capi-
tai and praised employment of labor
organizations.
Both laborers and employers believe
the conference has done much in bring
ing labor and capital together in an ef-
fort to effect more harmonious rela-
tons, and they expressed qualification
at what they regarded as a right step
towards this direction.
After the business session of the day
banquet was held, at which Senator
Hanna, President Gompers, members
of the federation, leading business men
and labor leaders were present.

OTHERS MAY STRIKE
Express Companies Must Re-
fuse Pacific Co.'s Tonnage.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 17.-At head
quarters of the American Brotherhood
of Railway Expressmen, President F..
E. Mode, of Chicago, stated in effect
that unless other express companies
stopped handling tonnage of the Pa
cific Express company general strike
would be ordered among the employees
of the different companies who are
members of the brotherhood. He in
timated such a step might be taken
soon unless assistance to the Pacific
company is stopped, but would not
discuss the matter further.
Members of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Expressmen declare themselves
well satisfied with the strike of the
employees of the Pacific Express COM
pany In st. Louis, and which has been
augmented by employees in Missouri,
Arkansas, Louisiana, Kansas, Indian
territory and Texas. Officers of the
Pacific Express company state. their
business Is not suffering to any great
extent from the strike. General Su-
perintendent c. f. Gentsch said the
company was somewhat behin& in get
ting express matter out Of st. LOUIS,
but he is confident the delay will be
overcome by the first of next week.
One difficulty the express company has
to face at present is that the local
combination" man, who knows the
combination of incoming safes, is
among the strikers. The safes must
remain locked until an expert COM
bination man is found.
Kansas City Strikers Claim Ground.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 17.-There-
was little change in the strike situation
of the Pacific Express company's en-
ployes today. 1t seems to be settling
down to a contest of endurance, with
each side claiming that it is gaining
ground.

SAYS RELIC CURED.
Woman Ascribes Good to a
Bone of St. Ann.

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-An alleged cure
of crippled hip by sacred relic was
a feature of testimony given by Mrs.
Agnes Elwood in $4,000 damage suit
begun by her against the Chicago City
Railway company and given to the
jury yesterday afternoon in Judge
Mack's court.
After years of suffering, Mrs. Elwood
declared, she went to st. Joseph's
church, Thirty eighth place and Cali
fornia avenue, Aug. 10, 1902, where a
bone, a relic of st. Ann, was used in
performing the cure.
Il went to the church about o'clock
in the morning." said Mrs. Elwood "I
became unconscious when the relic
was rubbed on me. was taken out
and did not realize where L was until
I found myself in the carriage. 1 was
cured on the way from the church. 1
felt myself getting better all the way
home.
Il was accompanied by my son and
daughter at the time. I was affected
with heart trouble and 1 felt the effect
near my heart first. Then l began to
feel better all over. I felt perfectly
well upon my arrival at home I got
rlght out OF the carriage without my
crutches and went into the house. 1
had gone to the church with crutches.
| was entirely cured in about half an
hour
Several physicians were summoned
as witnesses in the case and hypo-
thetical questions were put to them
regarding cures similar to the one de-
scr1bed by Mrs. Elwood. They were
agreed that any beneficial results that
might have been felt by Mrs. Elwood
were the result of the power of sugges-
ton.

AMERICANS WIN
BOUNDARY DISPUTE
Contentious of United States
Are Sustained by Alaskan
Commission.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE Alaskan
boundary commission today reached an
agreement whereby all the American
contentious are sustained, with the eX-
ception of those in relation to the
Portland canal, which Canada wins.
All that now remains to be done is
for the commissioners to affix their
signatures to the decision and COM
plete the map which will accompany it.
On the map will be marked the
boundary line definitely fixing the di-
vision of American and British terri
tory, on such basis that no American
citizen will lose a foot of land he al
ready believed he held, while the
United States will get all the water
ways to the rich Alaskan territory,
with the exception of the Portland ca
nal, which gives Canada the one outlet
she much needed.
The long standing dispute was set
tied after a week of keen, trying and
secret deliberation between the arbi-
traitors. Up to noon today there was
an acute possibility that a diSagrQe-
ment might result and the whole pro-
ceedings fall to the ground. Lord Al
Verstone, though openly inclined to be-
Heve in the justice of the American
argument that the United States was
entitled TO the heads of inlets, as con-
tanned in question five, held out that
Canada had established her case in
questions two and three, dealing with
the Portland canal.

CALLS EDEN A MYTH
Rabbi Denies Bible Story of
Adams Fall.

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-"There never
was an Eden. Man never was perfect
and never by a single transgressicn in
yolved his whole posterity in guiItn
said Rev. DR.. e. G. Hirsch last night i1f
his sermon at Temple Israel.
The third chapter of Genesis" said
DR.. Hirsch, "1s the basis Of the Chris-
tan system. 1t is held to teach that
the first man and the first woman lived
IN sinless perfection and In undisturb-
ed peace and happiness in a garden of
delights for long time, but eventual
ly lost all by single act of sin. This
sin. the theory is, infected their pos
terity and brought the whole race un-
der the curse of God. To remedy this
second Adam became necessary, who,
by his death on the cross, should re-
pair the damage done by the first
Adam.
"Of the Christian doctrine of the
atonement have no opinion to express
at present. But 1 am here to defend
Judaism against the charge of origi-
mating and holding this doctrine about
Eden and the fall of man. To do this
1t Is not necessary for me to quote the
writings Of the later rabbis. All that
is necessary Is to refer to the fact the
story Of Eden is not mentioned any,
where in the Jewish Bible except in the
third chapter of Genesis. If it were
tance, and 1t would have been found
everywhere in the Jewish writings
we reach the same conclusion IL
we approach the subject from the direc-
ton of science. Nothing in science is
better settled than that the first man
was only little better than the lower
animals. and that instead OF living in
perfect enjoyment, his life was one OF
terrific struggle with the forces of ma
ture and with living enemies.
Geography and archaeology teach
us that thte story of Eden Is untrue,
Tor no such place has even been dis
covered. The search has been continu-
Gus and many learned works have been
written about it, but no progress has
been made and no light has been shed
on the subject. 1t u law of nature
that every great event leaves vestige
behind it, The black diamond con-
tains traces of vegetable origin. But
nature contains no intimations of q
Paradise.
But although this story of Eden is
a mere fable, the Jews are not the au-
thors OF 1t. 1t has been we'll understood
for the last thirty years that the first
twelve chapters of Genesis did not
originate with the Jews. This was the
subject of Prof. Delitsch's lectures be-
fore Emperor William. Scholars havo
deciphered the inscriptions on the brick
tablets Of Babylon and made 1T certain
tnat the garden of Eden is Babylonish
myth. which the Jews brought with
them to Palestine when they returned
from the Babylonlsh captivity.
Genesis, however, is more valuable
as a fable than ii would have been as
history. 1t is dlvested of all the dog
matte meaning that Christian theolo-
gies give it. and becomes an agreeable
and profitable lesson in human nature.
