The few Republicans who were de-
feated last week in various sections of
the country are now being urged for
federal appointments by their admir-
ers. Conspicuous among these is Gov
ernor Bates of Massachusetts. Bay
state Republicans think he should have
a place in the cabinet. President Roose-
welt is not likely to give out many
places to men who have been repudia-
ted by the people. A Republican who
failed to be elected this year ought to
offer a mighty good excuse before he
asks for a federal appointment.

GERMANS KEEP COOL.
No Excitement Over the Sinking OF
Their Ships by Russia.

St Petersburg, Aug. S.-1:30 p. MIN
spite of, the excitement shown by a sec
ton of the German press, the German
government is acting as calmly in the
matter of the sinking of the steamer
Thea it did in the matter of the seiz-
ure of the mail steamer Prinz Heinrich
and is seemingly convinced that If any
wrong has been done 1t will be righted.
Germany thus far has contented herself
by asking for an explanation of the sink
ing of the ship. but in the absence of
result in the official inquiry by the prize
court at Vladivostok, Russia is not able
to reply.
The German consul at VIadivostok con-
firms the statement that the Thea had
only 160 tons of coal on board, not enough
to get her to Vladivostok. He says she
was loaded with fish and fish manure.
The captain was given 20 minutes in
which to abandon his ship and the crew
lost all their possessions. From the in
formation thus far received there appar-
entity was less justification for sinking
the Thea than for sinking the Knight
Commander and II sufficient Justification
can not be shown, Germany will doubt
less ask for compensation for the ship,
which, it is believed Russia will not re-
siSt.
Russia has been officially notified of
the agreement reached between Great
Britain and the United States relative to
the protection of the seals at the Kom-
mander islands.

IS INVESTIGATING.
Wilmarth Would Determine Cause of
Explosions at Greenwald Fire.

Chief Wilmarth is making a thor
ough investigation for the purpose of
ascertaining If possible the cause of
the explosions which occurred at the
Greenwald fire. He regards these ex-
plos1onS as one of the most mysterious
parts of the whole affair.
Ch1ef Wilmarth now holds the
theory that the fire had not been
smouldering for a. long time, as some
have thought He says that he be-
heves the fire to have been of quick
origin. He thinks that If the fire had
been burning for any length of time,
the odor of the burning pine. woolens
and tar paper would certainly have
been detected upstairs. The wooden
clothing on the tables was covered
by tar paper, which makes a pene-
trating odor, as does the wooden
itself.
1t was discovered today by Chief
Wilmarth that the back doors of the
building, which were found open by
the fire department, had been opened
by two of the clerks who went down
in the basement to fight the fire.
They opened the doors to give them
selves a means of escape. Chief Will
marth thought the doors had been
open all the time, which would have
made 1t difficult to understand how
the smoke should cause an explosion.
To explode smoke must be closely
confined, and come suddenly in con-
tact with the air.
Mr.. GreenwaId stated today that he
had not yet decided whether he would
reopen for business in Topeka. Il will
have to wait and get this matter settled
up before do anything further" ne
said. 1T has been stated he continued,
that gasoline tank was found In the
basement. l want to say that there
was no gasoline in the basement. There
was q small one burner gasoline stove
in the back part of the basement, but
it was not anywhere near the place
where the fire originated, and was not
in the fire at ALL"
Chief Wilmarth wishes to say, in jus
tice to his assistant, E. E. Babcock,
that Mr.. Babcock had charge at the fire
before he arrived. The chief states that
Assistant Babcock sent out the general
alarm promptly, and together with all
every way.

WILL MAKE COMPLAINT.
Appeal to Board of Health About City
Dump.

Freeman Sardou and a delegation of
people who live in the neighborhood
of the old crematory and city dump,
are planning to come before the meet
ing of the board of health this evening
for the purpose of making a demand
that the city cause the crematory to
be removed to some other place.
Backing up the demands of Mr..
Sardou and others. Councilman Joseph
Griley introduced at the last council
meeting a resolution declaring that the
contract existing between the city and
the Topeka Desiccating company be
terminated at once, because of the
the terms of the contract and build
the kind of garbage plant which the
city ordinance requires.
Take it altogether, it rather looks
as though the long standing fight on
the city garbage question was about
to be reopened. Will Osborn, who has
had charge of the garbage work for
the present company, has given bet
ter satisfaction than anybody else who
has ever had anything to do with the
work, because he has apparently tried
to do it we'll as he could, but he
has not had the proper facilities for
the work. The company which was to
be organized failed to materialize, and
he has been working along with the
old Thompson desiccating plant.
Mr.. Sardou said today: What we
want is to have this plant moved.
Nothing else will suit US. 1t has been
endured too long already. The city
has no right to dump there. The odor
is so bad from this desiccating plant
that it made people sick that 1 had
working for me out here picking cher
ries. They run the nightsoil out to the
river in an open trench, and the smell
when they burn dead animals is
enough to drive all the people away
from the neighborhood."
Councilman Joseph Griley says: ct
isn't right to have such a place right
on the main road between Topeka and
Oakland. The idea of people being
obliged to go past that stencil on the
road between two adjoining citiesi 1
am in favor of having that plant
moved far enough away from the city
to make it entirely unobjectionable.
We can have it hauled clear outside
the city and dumped for half the
money we are paying this firm, and
it won't be Objectionable"
