Shortages Up to Date All Inter
est Dne School Fund.
Summary of the Stsalingslas far
as Discovered.
KELLY HAS A REPORT.
Accountant Patterson Attempts
to Explain Shortages.
BungIing Attempt Made to Alter
Official Records.

According to the report of State Ac-
countant Rowett, published in the
State Journal Saturday, the account
ants have thus far checked up the pay
ment OF interest to the state school
fund made by 26 of the 105 counties in
the state, or just about one-fourth. In
81 of these 20 counties shortages have
been found in the state treasury. In
two instances the money has been paid
back into the state treasury.
The total shortages discovered in
these 26 counties aggregate $31 .3O4.1 II.
If this ratio keeps up in the other 79
counties in the state, the state school
fund will be found to be short over
S125. 900, and no other fund has yet been
examined.
The shortages SO far discovered are
all in the payment of interest by coun-
ties or municipalities on bonds held by
the state school fund. This interest
has been paid by the counties and
municipalities. but it has never been
credited on the state treasurer's books.
The following is the summary of the
shortages reported by the state ac-
countant Saturday:

but that otherwise he has rested quite
easily. 1t fe not likely that Mr.. Man
speaker will be able to leave his bed
before the end of the week.
Dr. J. P. Raster, chief surgeon of
the Santa Fe. went to Sedalia Sunday
to attend Mr. and Mrs. w. J. Black.
DR.. Raster made the trip from Topeka
to Kansas City on a special engine
which the railroad company arranged
for in order that he could reach Kan
sas City in time to take a regular
train to Sedalia on the Missouri Pacific
sh ortly after noon.
Nat Black, a brother of w. ]. Black
left Topeka on an early train Sunday
morning and was able to reach Sedalia
during the afternoon.
General Manager H. U. Mudge,s
private car was sent to Sedalia for the
use of Mr.. and Mrs. Black in coming
brought back as special train and it
will reach Topeka this evening about
1880 o'clock.
A telephone message today from the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad hos
pital at Sedalia, where the Blacks are,
states that they passed a fair night.
Although Mr. Black was restless, his
condition was considered favorable.
Mrs. Black was feVeriSh and her pulse
rapid. The attending physician stated
that there still was possibility that
an amputation of the foot in the case
of Mrs. Black would be necessary. 1t
may be two or three days, 1T was
stated, before it could be determined
whether or not an operation in the
case of Mrs. Black would be necessary.

A fair estimate of the intelligence
of the Kentucky legislature may be
secured from the fact that yesterday
the Senate passed a bill providing for
submission to the people OF constitu-
tional amendment TO return to the viva
voce system of voting, by vote OF ~
to Z. Kentucky got tired of that sys-
tenn years ago, and one reason new
constitution was wanted and adopted
was to secure the secret ballot. Yet
it seems to be new thing to the 81
Democrats in the State Senate. They
have just heard of it and
want to try it.

ticularly IL the two nations can get
their ships together. or near enough to
lombard seaports.
The chances, however, laying SYM
pathy and good wishes aside, seem to
favor Russia, whose army, navy, and
resources are much greater than those
Of her adversary. In case of interven-
ton before the war is over, however,
Japan is likely to be found in the
lead. IL is improbable that Russia,
now on the defensive. aud which can
disclaim the responsibility of the con-
fiict, will hear to any cessation of hos

Louisville is hard at work trying to
secure the passage Of the bill to carry
into effect the new amendment to the
constitution. This gives the general
assembly the power to allow cities to
adopt license system Of taxation in
stead Of the ad valorem system, for mu-
nicipal purposes. There is apparent
ly no valid reason the bill should not
pass. 1t binds no city to substitute
the new system for the present system
and IL any city desires the change,
that is its business. 1t does not affect
any Of the revenue except that raised
for city purposes, and while some
things of doubtful propriety might be
done under such a law, they cannot be
done except by the people or the peo-
pies representatives. The outlook
for the passage of the bill is good.

WAR IN THE EAST.

The outcome Of the war in the East
is something that no man can intelli-
gently predict at this stage, but since
hostilIties began there has been re-
vealed the unusual, if not unprecedent-
ed spectacle of nearly all the Csuca-
sian Christian nations of the earth in
sympathy with dark skinned heather
nations nation that was compare
lively only few years ago as deep in
superstition, ignorance Of modern
civilization. and exclusiveness, as
China.
But the sympathy of the world
seems to be with japan, indicating that
humanity in a question of national
honor or of national wrong. is willing
to put aside prejudice arising from
nationality, race, or religion, and If
needs be, as in this case, take sides
against a white Christian nation, in
favor of dark race Of pagaDs.
The sympathy of the world may be
with Japan because Russia is unpopu
lar, possibly because the doughty lit
tie Japanese empire is wide awake !,
more sppreciative of the friendship of
other nations, and possesses more ad-
mirable traits than the big bear. But
whatever the cause, Japan has the
sympathy of the world, including the
United States, and this may amount
to considerable before the end is
reached.
But sympathy does not decide bat
ties.
While there is AN advantage in strik-
ing the first blow. in this case it has
only given the larger aud stronger
power o cause to go TO war with .
smaller nation, and whatever the ulti-
mate result IL, Japan cannot set up the
claim that Russia forced her to fight.

One Of the most remarkable facts
about the Baltimore fire is that there
were so few casualties. Only one
death was reported, and 1t has subse-
quently been denied. The fire was one
of the worst in history, but not so
bad as ut first reported. 1t is clsimed
by men of authority that in only three
instances have the first reports OF
loss Of life in great disasters been con-
firmed by later reports-in the Johns
town food, the Galveston flood, and
the Iroquois fire.

EXPERIMENTS IN STARVATION

Experiments Of maintaining a guard
of soldiers on vegetable food alone
are being made by Yale college pro-
lessor, which have resulted, SO far, in
the insanity of one of the men and the
desertion of four, but the experiment
goes merrily ON, for physical suffering
never counts when science is prescott
ing its inquiries. There are l2 sol.
diers left in the squad. All have lost

Mr.. Hearst's object in mortgaging
his New York newspaper plants for a
million dollars is exciting more or less
interest in newspaper circles. While,
as has been suggested, it may be to
use in his talked of race for president,
it may be only to keep his boom alive
until the Democratic convention at
tends to his case. 1t ought to be worth
that to Mr.. Hearst to be simply men
toned for president.
