E. w. Howe of Atkinson, once
bitten by bank failure, says the
wholesale forgeries of the Highland
banker, MARCEL, might have been
detected early and the creditors
saved if the state bank commissioner
had given less attention to politics
and more to his official duties. Mr..
Howe is a supporter of the machine
of which Mr.. Albaugh, the state
bank commissioner, is the managing
director, but bank failure is cred
rag" in Mr.. Howe's face, aud he
draws the line at the MARCEL affair
He says in his new spaper, the Atchi
son Globe:
This Bank CommissionerAlbaugh
notice how often his name appears
in connection with polit cal conven-
tons. That's what he does to earn
his salary as bank commissioner;
attends political powwows in order
to jolly up his constituency. He
doesn't seem to know what is hap,
pening tothe banks. The failure of
the Bank of Highland is an illus
tration. Had there been polite
ian in Highland who threatened to
make trouble for Albaugh personally,
he would have made himself acqu-
ainted with the situation down to
the grass roots. And there arc
other officeholders in Kansas in the
same boat with Bank Commissioner
Albaugh. Star.

A little thing sometimes results in
death. Thus mere scratch, in

paid the death penalty. 1t is wise

the higher office and subsequent change to
the minor position would be merely a mat
ter of official designation
1t has been suggested that the President
appoint Mr.. Cortelyou at the expiration of
Mr. Wynne's period of acting head of the
department, with the understanding that he
qualify as Postmaster General after the
elections. This he could do whenever he
saw fit. Even after qualifying Mr. Cortel-
you could take a vacation, to which he is
entitled by reason of his long service as
Secretary of Commerce and Labor without
rest. Mr.. Wynne has frequently acted as
postmaster General for long periods, knows
the business of the department in detail
and there would be possibility of the
business of the government suffering be-
cause the permanent head of the depart
ment did not take up the work of the Of
flee.
Lawyers who have examined the statutes
believe this arrangement would meet the
requirements of the law, but it does not
commend itself to the President. 1t is prob
able that no decision absolutely definite
will be reached for some time. as it is un-
necessary to determine it for a month.

FOR DESTITUTE ALAsKANs.
Ten Thousand Rations to Be DISTRIBUTE
ed to the Indians.

For the third consecutive winter destitu-
Alaskan Indians, and government help is
absolutely necessary to prevent them from
starvation and determination. Lieut.. EN-
mons, retired naval officer and an expert
in Alaskan matters, has been giving spe-
cial attention to the conditions Of these In
dians, and he has made a report to the
President, which has been transmitted to
the War Department setting out strongly
the deplorable conditions, especially in the
Copper river district of Alaska. Conse-
quently Acting Secretary Oliver today is
sued the following memorandum for the
chief of staff:
manding officer of Fort Lscum will ship
to Copper Center 10000 rations or so many
thereof as may be found necessary for the
relief of the destitute Indians of the Cop
per river during the next six months He
is authorized to secure the necessary trans
portatlon and to forward at once the first
consignment, by pack train or otherwise,
utilizing beyond the mountains as many
Indians Is can be employed. An officer or
reliable non-commissioned officer will be
placed in charge of the supplies at Copper
Center, and will issue free of expense to
the destitute. and sell at cost and 33 per
cent added to such as may wish to pur-
chase but are unable to obtain food other
wise consulting with Mr.. Clavenger. the
missionary at Copper Center, as to the
necessities involved. Careful record of con-
dition. habits and resources of the Indians
during this period will be kept and full re-
port on the same furnished at the end of
the detail by the officer IN charge. These
instructions should be telegraphed.''

MR.. PAYNE's SUCCESSOR.
Probable That Mr.. Wynne Will Be
Temporarily Appointed.

Under the law. as construed by the De-
partrnent of Justice. it will be necessary for
the President, within the next thirty days,
to appoint Postmaster General in success
sion to Mr.. Wynne, as the acting head of
the department 1t is well understood that
George Bruce Cortelyou, now chairman of
the republican national committee, is to be
appointed Postmaster General, butt is
understood to be the Presidents desire not
to appoint him until after the close of the
campaign. AS the period for which Mr.
Wynne may act will expire five days before
the election. the probabilities are that the
President will appoint as Postmaster Gen.
eral somebody who will hold the Office until
such time as Mr.. .Cortelyou. after closing
up the work of the campaign and taking a
rest after his labors may assume the du-
ties OF the office. If this plan should be
followed it is quite likely the President
may appoint Mr.. Wynne. with the UNDER
standing that he may resume his position
as first assistant when Mr.. Cortelyou shall
be appointed.
This program for the elevation of Mr..
Wynne and his subsequent retirement
would IN no way reflect upon Mr.. Wynne.

PARKER SITS FOR PORTRAIT.
Ohio Caller Today Urges Vigorous
Campaigu There.

NEW YORK October 5.-Judge Parker
today gave a sitting to Mueller-Urey,
portrait painter. The portrait when fin
ished will be given to Mrs. Parker. When
the Judge returned to his apartments at
the Hotel Seville he found several callers
waiting for him. Among them were Colo
mel John Connolly of Columbus, Ohio; Ma
tionaI Chairman Thomas Taggart and Rep
resentative Alfred Burleson of Texas. Col
onel Connolly has urged National Commit
teeman John R. Mclean to go to Ohio and
organize a vigorous campaign there. He
declares that the majority given to Presi-
dent Mckinley may be greatly reduced
Ex-senator James K. Jones Of Arkansas,
former chairman of the democratic national
committee, saw Judge Parker today and,
after the conference, announced that he Will
give his undivided time to Judge Parker in
any way he can be of any service. Mr..
Jones ridiculed stores started last week, that
he had withdrawn his support from the ma
tional ticket. He said Nevada and Mon
tana are democratic and that reports are
favorable from Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming
and Washington. So far as these states are
concerned he said a great deal of hard
work on the part of the campaign commit
tee will be necessary. He said he was not
hopeful of carrying Washington for the
Ia, ,.lonal ticket, but that he believed former
Senator Turner, the democratic candidate
for governor, will be elected
Representative Van Duzer of Nevada talk
ed with Judge Parker concerning the cam
paign in his state and told the judge he
will make speeches daily until election day.
Other members of Congress who called to-
day were Representatives Burgess, Cooper
and Burleson Of Texas.

PORT ARTHUR'S DEFENSE,
Gen. Stoessel Reports Heavy Loss of
the Japanese,

the japanese.
ST. PETERSBURG, October 5-Lieuten-
ant General Stoessel says the Japanese
losses were 10000 during the attacks on
Port Arthur from September 10 to Septem-
ber %. He reports that no incident oc-
CURED from September % to September 80
excepting outpost skrmshing.
General StoesSel adds that practically
nothing remained of the water works re-
doubts when the surviving Russians evacu-
ated them.
The last Japanese attack to which Cen
eral StoeSsel refers was on a hill called
High Mountain, south of Inthan (Etse
Shan, or mountain). He gives instances of
the heroiSm of the defenders, especially the
case of a lieutenant who threw hand bombs
into the japanese trenches, causing a panic.
Colonel Irman, chief of the Port Arthur ar
tillery, is praised for the magnificent dispo-
Sition of the guns.
General Stossels dispatch, which was
dated September 30, says:
After bloody assaults from the 10Th to
the &}d of September, there has been COM
parative tranquility around the fortress.
On the night of September % the Jap
gorsky, fled in panic. They are now work.
ing very actively and are approaching by
tunnel and entertainments. The bonn
bardment was maintained both upon the
forts and the buildings within the fortress.
We make sorties frequently. driving
back the enemy. The repulse of the last
attack was especially due to Lieut. Pog-
gorsky. General Kondratenko Col Irman
and Capt Sychaff. The spirit of the troops
is heroic. Wounded men are every day re-
turning from the hospitals to the ranks.

where he will speak for two days, after
which he will return and speak October "a
and 25 in northern Indiana Altogether the
democratic state committee will get about
sixty-f1ve speeches out of Bryan in Indiana
in ten days, if his voice and strength hold
out.
The large number of assignments tells of
demands from all corners of Indiana for
Bryan and indicates belief on the part of
district and county chairmen that he will
be able to do the party great good by as
slSting in lining up silver democrats for
Parker and Davis. Bryan will speak in Wis
consin and Illinois as well as in Indiana and
West Virginia, and it now appears that the
democratic national committee will avail
itself of the services of the idol of free sill
yer men to the greatest extent possible, es-
peclauy In the western states.
Bryan will be hurried over Indiana on
special train which will be made up at Terre
Haute the morning of October r. about 8.
On this train will be many democratic spell
binders, who will drop off at different towns
and speak to the people after Bryan has
hnlshed and hasteced on to the next city.
His appearance will perhaps be the princi-
pal whlrlwind feature of the speaking cam
pa1gn in Indiana on the part of the demo-
Gratis this fall. The speakers bureau has
dropped all other assignments for a while,
until Bryan's engagements were arranged

RETRANsFER OF PUBLIC LANDS.
Go Back From Duluth to the Cass Lake
District

By executive order, on file at the Interior
Department, certain public lands that
were in the Duluth land district have been
transferred to the Cass Lake district These
lands are the same that were transferred
from Cass Lake to Duluth about this time
last year. Since the transfer the commits
sioner of public lands has received a num-
ber of petitions signed by residents and set
tiers on the lands In question, requesting
the retransfer to the Cass Lake district A
special agent Of the land Office was sent to
make an investigation and in his report he
states that persons having business with
the land office who reside on the lands con-
cerned in the order must pass through Cass
Lake on their way to Duluth The latter
place is 236 miles from the center of the
district, and Cass Lake is but ninety eight
miles. The recommendation was made,
therefore, that the change be made. In
pursuance of this recommendation, indorsed
by the commissioner of public lands Secre-
tary Hitchcock directed that the President
be asked to issue an executive order MAX
ing the change. This order was received
at the Interior Department today signed by
the President.
