NOT AN EQUITABLE CLAIM.

Senator Spooner, the most aggressive
opponent of the bill, Immediately en-
gagged in argument with MIR. Blackburn
as to there being an equitable claim
that the government ought to recognize
Mr.. Spooner declared that for the lite
OF him he could not understand how
there was any such equitable claim. The
following colloquy, mainly between
those two Senators, was devoted to
that phase of the claim:
Mr. Spooner. Does the Committee
predicate anything upon the theory that
She was dethroned by the United States!
Mr.. Blackburn. No That, OF course,
was her contention and that OF her ad-
herents: but the committee IN Its re-
mort expressly discla1ns any such pnr-
nose as that lin express language the
committee holds that she has no legal
claim against this Government Tor any
thing: but the committee recommends
the payment of the 100000. DaSed upon

Now, Mr.. President, admitting; as the
committee freely does. that this claimant
has no status in court, that she mas no
legal ground upon which she can MAKE

A HIDDEN TORTURER
DEATH PREFERABLE TO THE

Three Years OF e&xcruciating Neu-

of DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

the outgrown past.
The story of James B. Coyle, mill

Amesbury, Mass, is striking recent
case in illustration. During the past
three years, said Mr. Coyle to re-

in the head. At times the pains were
almost unbearable and my sufferings
were such that death would have been
welcome as relief The pains began
right over my eyes and shot upward
through my head They were SO ex-
cruciating that they would almost make
me faint dead away from exhaustion

while they all diagnosed my case as neu-
raIgia and prescribed for that, they gave
me only temporary relief. Then / took
a. number of advertised neuralgia cures
with no better result About four
months ago a friend told me about DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,

used one box | noticed that the pains
were less frequent and intense than be-

SWINDLES WOMEN
ChlcagoanAccused of RObbing
Them by Wholesale.

CHICAGO, Feb. SC. w. Thomp-
son, who the postal authorities say has
operated a mail order business under
fifteen different names, was arrested
today by postoff1ce detectives on a
charge Of unlawfulIy using the United
States mails Women in all parts Of
the country who believed they would
be paid $50 each for copying 100 letters
are, according to postal officers, vic
tins of Thompson. Thompson was ar
raigned before Commissioner Hum
phrey and held in $1,000 bonds for a
hearing on Feb. 15.
'"Thompson's latest scheme was on
the endless chain plan," said Inspector
Stuart. after a woman would write
to him and express her willingness to
copy letters at 80 cents each, he would
cause her to send so cents for MEM
bership in the bureau. Instead Of al
lowing the women to go to work,
Thompson would then require them to
get a friend to send so cents for a
membership, and would promise to
give 80 cents for each member thus
secured"
Some of the titles used by Thompson
in carrying on the scheme were:
Woman's Cooperative club, Woman's
Industrial Bureau, Amazon Advertis-
ing Agency, Occidental Wholesale COM
pany and the Occidental Commercial
Agency.

Mr.. HANNA Is WEAK
FROM EXHAUSTION
Yet the Doctors Insist That His
Condition Is Not
Alarming.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 5.-Sen-
ator Hanna's sickness is pronounced
by his physicians to be irregular, or
walking typhoid fever. 1t is said
that there are no organic complica-
tions to add to the seriousness of the
case. but the senator at the time of
the attack was worn out SO that his
physical weakness and nervous de-
preston, coupled with his sixty-six
years and frequent recent rheumatic
attacks, made the case one Of much
more gravity than an ordinary attack
of mild typhoid fever The crisis Of
the fever Is not expected before the
middle of next week.
The senator is entirely conscious and
today insisted on signing papers. He
was so weak that when he was put
off two or three times, he slept from
exhaustion. He gained considerable
rest during the day, but sleep was
partly the result OF weakness. His
physicians tonight expressed conf
dence in the senator's recovery, but
admitted that even If no complications
or unforeseen developments Of any
kind occur recovery will be a matter
of weeks and will require meanwhile
the most careful and painstaking nurs-
ing. No one save. Mrs. Hanna, Miss
Phelps, the senator niece, and Elmer
Dover, his secretary, is permitted to
see him aside from the doctors and
two trained nurses.
President Roosevelt called to inquire
about Senator Hanna's condition. He
saw Mr.. Dover, with whom he con-
versed for ten minutes about the sick
man.
Five physicians were in attendance
today-Dr. Rixey, the regular family
physician; DR.. Magruder, DR.. Brewer,
from New York; DR.. Behrond, an ex-
pert who examined the senator's blood
for typhoid indications, and DR.. Osler,
an expert diagnostician from Balti-
more.
The physicians are unable to say
where the senator caught typhoid
fever.
There is an epidemic Of typhoid in
Columbus, Ohio, where the senator Wis
tied last month. He left there Jan. 13.
Late tonight physicians declared that
there was nothing Immediately alarm
ing In Senator Hanna's condition, pro-
viding unexpected complications did
not manifest themselves.

REFUSES TO PEACH"
Student Is Suspended and
Scandals Are Promised.

Special to The Globe.
MADISON, Wis, Feb. 5.-Charles S.
Thompson, of Milwaukee, son of
George r. Thompson, travelling passen-
ger agent of the Pennsylvania railroad,
has been suspended from the law de-
partment of the University of Wiscon-
sin for immoral conduct. The charge
was preferred by the young mans
landlord, Nathaniel Mead. An attempt
was made by the faculty to obtain from
Thompson facts concerning extensive
gambling and other undesirable prac-
tees among the students, but Thomp-
son told the faculty to punish him for
what he had dones that he would not
turn states evidence"
The young man is member of the
Beta Theta Pi fraternity and was a
lion socially in the university. He has
not yet left Madison, remaining in an
attempt to be reinstated.
Rumors are in circulation that an ex-
posure of a scandalous nature is coming
here with reference to the university,
which will be more serious than that of
a year ago, when William AtWater, of
Chicago, a suspended student, inform
ed the faculty of the drinking and
gambling of the English instructor, for
which Mr.. Wheeler was dismissed in
disgrace he then in turn involving to a
less extent other members of the staff
of instruction.

doors and no official account of what
took place has been given out. The
charges were published fully in these
dispatches two weeks ago. Grigsby was
represented at the hearing by Thurston
q Ballinger, lawyers or this city, the
former being ex-senator John Nj.
Thurston, of Nebraska. Senators Hans
brough and Gamble and Representa-
tives Marshall, Burke and Martin, rep
resenting the North and South Dakota
delegations in congress, were present.
although they did not take active part
in the hearing.
The efforts Of the lawyers were di-
rected largely toward disproving the
charge that the $4,000 fee which was
paid to Grigsby by the Pioneer Mining
company at Nome was a bribe Thew
sought to show that the fee was simply
legitimate payment for legal services,
although admittedly a retainer for
services to be rendered in the future.
This charge was made against the dis
trict attorney in 1902, but no attention
was paid to it by the department Of
justice until after the return of the
departments special agents from Nome
last fall. The agents reported against
Gr1gsby on this present charge and
accused him of other misconduct.
Unless today's hearing brought out
new and unexpected evidence in favor
of Grigsby he will be dismissed from
office, as the department had about
reached this conclusion on the basis of
the written testimony submitted
Walter e. Clark.

GUARDS PUBLIC
LANDS CLOSELY
Government Announces New
Departure in Method of
Taking Final Proofs.

Special to The Globe.
CROOKSTON, Mimi, Feb. 5.-Cir-
culars have been received by the
United States land Office of Crookston
which materially change the manner
of taking final proofs in cases where
the papers are drawn outside of the
district land office. According to the
instructions contained in the circulars,
when it is desired to make final proof
without visiting the land office in per-
son, the settler must, as heretofore,
make application to the district land
office for such final proof
AS soon as the application is received
the special agent of the department of
the interior is notified He will at once
investigate and be present at the ex-
animation of the applicant and his wit
nessess before the United States court
commissioner or any other officer quail
ified to make out such papers. If the
special agent cannot be present at
this time, the applicant will go ahead,
make out his papers and forward them
to the district land office and wait th4
convenience of the special agent. But,
under no circumstances, will the Off
cials issue the final certificate until
the papers have been passed upon and
approved by the special agent.
This is probably the most drastic
and important step taken by the general
land office during the past decade to
protect against fraudulent final en-
tries on government lands. The ac-
tion Of the department was probably
occasioned by the many scandals aris-
ing from the wholesale frauds prac-
ticed in securing valuable government
lands for pittance by land magnates.
While the frauds in this state have
been less than 10 per cent of that of
some Of the other middle Western
states, owing to the scarcity of valua-
bic public lands and the consequent
rivalry among homesteaders, yet in
this state alone 1t would take at least
ten special agents to carry out the
aim of the department.

Of history of the State University of

The American negro will follow the

with the white race.
Time and again has history proven
that when the representatives of an
inferior civilization come In contact, in
competition with the representatives
of a superior nation, the peoples of the
poorer civilization must give way. The
negro is as surely doomed as is the
American Indian. The percentage of
increase of the negro is steadily grow

guard of sixty men from the United
States cruiser Columbia and informed
the government that it was the inten-
ton of the German consul and him
self to bring Herr Wormans family
into the city, and asked the govern
ment that it's troops refrain from firing
on this party while it was on its mis-
sion. He said that If fired on, this
party would protect itself. The guard
started out. AS soon as they passed
outside the city they were covered by
the guns of the Columbia. No attack
was made and the Woman family and
their belongings were brought back
here in safety.
All houses outside the city walls
have been pillaged. The insurgents
are desperate and are destroying for
eign property wherever they find it.
Mr.. Powell has received urgent appeals
to protect foreign property against
pillaging, and the Columbia may be
compelled to land marines. Firing
around the city continues.
Great surprise is expressed by all
foreigners, and especially by Ameri-
cans, that the commander Of the Yam
kee has not demanded immediate sat
isfaction for the murder of Johnston
and for the firing on the American flag
by insurgents.

SAN DOMINGO, Feb. 5.-The insur-
gents have deliberately fired on the
launch of the auxiliary cruiser Yam
kee, killing ]. G. Johnston, the en-
gineer. The bullet entered his head
above the eye.
United States Minister Powell has
directed the captain of the Yankee to
take drastic measures to avenge John
ston's death and this insult to the
American flag.
This city is surrounded by insur-
gents. They have sent to the govern
ment a demand that the city surren-
der within twenty-four hours, threat
ening otherwise to try to enter by
force. The government has made no
reply to this demand, and an attack is
expected. The Notifications are strong
ly guarded and preparations are max
ing to resist the insurgents.
The German consul requested United
States Minister Powell to afford pro-
lection to Herr Woman, German vice
consul, that he may bring his family
into the city, as the insurgents had
given Herr Woman forty-eight hours
to leave his present station or suffer
the consequences.
Consequently, Mr.. Powell secured a

HENS LAY GOLD EGGS
Kansas Farmers Ready for
Army Chicken Thieves.

FORT RILEY, Kan, Feb. 5.-From
the Smoky Hill basin to the Repub-
lican river, and up and down the Kan
sas river banks, there is rejoicing IN
Kansas. Congress has appropriated
money to pay the farmers for their
pullets and old hens.
When the army maneuvers ended
Oct. 27 this section of the state was
eggless and chickenless. The casual
ties of the campaign Of the blues
against the browns had been $4,000
hens and late autumn Spring fries"
1t was bleeding Kansas again.
Now hope springs anew in the agri-
cultural breast, since congress, at the
request of Secretary Taft and Gen.
Chaffee, has appropriated $2,100 to pay
for the damage done last year by SOL
diers and $1,000 for additional loss
which will be sustained Git is hoped)
by the farmers at the next manuvers.
Everybody Is preparing to raise
chickens. Incubator agents are arriV-
ing at Junction City on every train.
Farmers are preparing to fill their
fields with chicken coops, built with
out doors. Every opportunity will be
given the soldiers next summer to rob
hen roosts without trouble.
In the annals of the Fort Riley en-
gagement as officially recorded, it will
not be mentioned that the decisive en-
gagement of the browns against the
blues was lost because of chickens.
The Twenty eighth mountain battery
had been ordered to the support of the
First Kansas, then hard pressed, and
in taking position the battery came
across an untouched chicken farm.
The First Kansas was left to it's fate
and Maj. William H. Coffin, command
ing the divisional artillery from the
timberland back Of the Smoky Hill,
saw through his field glasses car
mage he could not stop. These chick
ems were accountable for the decima-
tion of Col. MetcaIfs. fine regiment of
Kansas infantry and the day was lost.
The mountain battery carried the
chickens through the rest of the day
on their pack mules and the pile OF
feathers in the back street of their
camp was increased.
An injustice has been done Kansas
in the award. The soldiers ate $4,000
chickens and the farmers get paid for
only S.400.
