BIG COOLING STATION.
Naval Board Recommends Kiska
Island as Site.

Naval Board Recommends Kiska
Island as Site.
Seattle, Jan. 27.-The Washington
correspondent of the Post Intelligencer
says:
The general board of the navy has
recommended that the proposed coal
ing station in the Aleutian chain be
located at Kiska island, and that it be
strongly fortified. The place is of
greater strategic value, the board says,
than any other point in the North Pa
cific ocean Thee ost is roughly esti.
mated at 81 800, 900.
The Importance of the project can
be gathered from the fact that it is
proposed to store there 100, 900 tons of
coal. Only 5000 tons are stored at
the San Francisco station.
Kiska island is 800 miles west of
Dutch harbor, in the main AleutiaIl
chain, and a fine harbor is formed by
large bay which indents the island
Little Kiska island forms natural
breakwater.
The general board, who have made
special study of the subject of coal
ing stations, consider the location OF
more strate gical Importance than any
other coaling station in the North Pa
cific. The proposed site is about 1O(
miles south of the Great Circle route
from Seattle to Yokohama and about
$50 miles north of the Great Circle
route from San Francisco.

CONSULS FOR MANCHURIA.

One Each Goes by Shortest Route
to Antung and Mukden.
Washington, Jan. 28.-Under the
provisions Of the treaty with China the
state department intendst to dispatch
at once by the shortest route Messrs.
Cheshire and Davidson, the two con-
suls to Mukden and Antung. They
will be able to reach their posts in five
or six weeks.
To assist the two Mancuhrian con-
suls and also Mr.. Morgan, who is to
be sent to Dalny as consul, the state
deartmenl has authorized the detail of
a student interpreter at each place. AT
the suggestion of Mr. Rockhill some
years ago provision was made by con-
gress for the training of a number of
students in the Chinese language.
There are now seven young men under
instruction in Minister Congers lega-
ton, while an eighth is on his way tc
Peking. The details for the Manchu.
rian consulates and Dalny will be
made from the seven students by Min
lister Conger.

IROQUOIS VERDICT.
Mayor Harrison and Other Officials
Held to Grand Jury.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-The Coroner $
jury which, for three weeks, has been
listening to evidence relating to the
fire in the Iroquois theater, has re-
turned verdict by which the follow
ing persons are held to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury:
Carter H. Harrison, mayor of Chi
cago.
Will j. Davis, proprietor in part and
manager of the theater.
George Williams, Building commits
sioner of the city.
Edward Laughlin, building inspec-
tor under Williams.
William Sallers, fireman in the the
ater
William McMullen, who had charge
of the lights that caused the Tire.
William H. Musham, fire marshal.
The findings We're as follows:
The cause of the fire was drapery
coming in contact with flood or arc
light. City laws We're not complied
with relating to building ordinances,
regulating fire alarm boxes, fire appa-
stage and fly galleries, requiring fire
proof scenery and all woodwork on and
about the stage. The asbestos curtain,
which was entirely inadequate, was
entirely destroyed.
The building ordinances We're vio-
lated in that the aisles We're enclosed
on each side of the lower boxes; that
fire apparatus was absent from the or
chestra floor and that there was no
fire apparatus in the gallery of the
first balcony. Will J. Davis was held
responsible. AS president and general
manager he was primarily responsible
for the observance of the laws and was
bound to see that his employees We're
properly instructed as to their duties
in case of fire.
In relation to Mayor Harrison the
verdict reads as follows;
eve hold Carter H. Harrison, as
mayor of the city of Chicago, respon-
soible, as he has shown lamentable
lack of force, and for efforts to escape
responsibility evidenced by the testi-
mony.
Building Commissioner Williams
was held for gross neglect of duty, i'll
allowing the theater to open its doors
to the public when the said theater
was incomplete, and did not comply
with the building ordinances of the
city of Chicago"

TOOK POISON.
Cyanide of Potassium the Cause of
Wrights Death.

London. Jan. 27.-A post norton
examination has shown that Whitaker
Wright committed suicide by taking
cyanide of potassium.
The tragic event is the one topic of
interest and everywhere
is discussed in all its features.
The possibility of the promoters es-
cape from legal punishment by suicide
was clearly foreseen by Detective Will
lis, who brought Wright from New
York. Acting on hints dropped by
Wright during the voyage Willis gave
the court officials special warning to
keep the closest guard over him.
The opposition papers continue max
ing trenchant comments on the gov
ernment which" they say, ode
clined to do it's duty from reasons now
shownt have been absurd in law and
which are always repugnant to COM
mon sense
"The handling of this NATTER says
the Westminster Gazette, ''has reflect
ed more discredit upon the government
than its other mistakes with even
greater consequences. Distinguished
people were involved and some of them
have had happy escapes.
The Financial News says:
Wright might have made disclos-
ures which would have seriously dis
comforted some people, but he was
loyal as we'll as courageous, and he
carried his secrets to the grave. To
prevent others from divulging what he
chose to conceal, he destroyed many
papers, thus completing his sacrifice. -

Some women save money for men
by not marrying them.
1t seems an awful lot worse to jump
out and turn on the heat than to stay
in bed and keep cold.
1t is human nature to be dissa tisfied
because there Is no swimming in Janu-
airy and no skating In July.
AwOman wears a veil, like a good
many other things, to cover, not to
hide, her charms.
The reason a woman never balances
her check book Is because she knows
the cashier will never agree with her
because he is never right
Maybe If women were not so busy
with their mouths in another way they
would really learn to smoke.
When woman says man treats
her brutaly she means she can't make
him give in in an argument even by
crying.
When woman brags about a
thoughtful child she has she means he
forgot to pull its tail out of the cat
that morning.
The man who got up the theory that
you can save money by being married
must have been the same idiot who
started the flying machine idea.
Nothing makes a man feel so queer
when the minister calls, as to hear his
wife tell him all the signs their father
has noticed in the children of very re-
ligiOus spirit
The funniest Of all is the near-sight-
ed man who stops to look at the foot
Of a woman Of GO crossing the street.

BREAK IN WHEAT.
Selling of Armour Holdings Causes
Big slump.


Big slump.
Chicago, Jan. PA break of 5-S
cents in the price of May wheat
marked the selling of immense hold
ings by Armour, said to have been the
heaviest holder in Chicago. Some esti-
mates of the Armour sales run as high
as 5, 600, 900 bushels. Whatever it was
considerable of it was bought back to
check the slump. A firmer tone de-
veloped during the latter part of the
session and some recovery was made
on support from the pit bull interest.
Closing prices We're sufficiently STEADY
to indicate to the majority of traders

quished his grip on nearby deliveries.

Methods, Not Men.

Will Allen White, in Empora Gazette.
H. w. Grass, the candidate against Tom
Kelly, should make hay while the sun shines.
He may beat Kelly, but that is unlikely. Mr..
Grass is an honest man. He would not raise
the assessed valuation of all other property in
the state, as Kelly has done, and leave the rail-
roads unchanged, as Kelly has done. Mr.
Grass would not favor the Topeka banks aud
put the money he draws for interest on the
state money in his pocket illegally, as Kelly
has done. Mr.. Grass would not lobby in the
Legislature to prevent the passage of bill to
make this corrupt practice crime, as Kelly
has done. Mr.. Grass would not let the people
call him thief and a boodler and smile and
take it, as Kelly has done. Mr. Grass would
not pay back stolen money and say his enemies
made him thief, as Kelly has done. In short,
Mr. Grass is not cut out for Kelly's job.
This is a campaign of methods, and not
men," and the reformers are so dead stuck on
the methods of Tom Kelly that they can't be
weaned. Mr.. Grass might just as we'll iale
himself up and 60 to the feed lot. This is the
day of clean politics and men absolutely pure,

for the place. There should be no attempt to
displace him. And anyway, Leland is against
Kelly, and the people to-day would elect Judas
Iscariot to any job in the county over the Apos-
tie Paul if Leland was for Paul. 1t was the
same way with Sam Lappan, the other state
treasurer vino stole the stats money and skip
ped out. When he was running for office, Le-
land was against him, and the people, who
wanted to show old Cy that he could not boss
them, elected Lappan again in the face of his
record, and in the face of the fact that many
Republican papers refused to print his name on
the Republican ticket. There is nothing the
people of Kansas like so much as crook. They
stuck by Jim Lane until he killee himself,
knowing his crtokedness. Thew stuck by Pom.
roy until he was caught doing what they knew
he was doing. They stuck by Senator Cald-
we'll till he was kicked out of the Senate. They
stuck by Burton till he was indicted. They
will freeze to Tom Kelly like sick kitten to
hot brick. He is the Kansas kind of states
man. He is reformer, and his ''methods"
are what reformers particularly admire

Christianity in the early days was such a

j. II. PARKER a CO.'S
Cotton Letter TO Hayward, Wick q
Company.

New York, June 16.-Liverpool cables
were of negative character and spot
cotton was reported dull, with sales of
5000 bales Our market opened irreg-
ular, and most of the trading through
out the day has been of a professional
character, and the fluctuations were
within narrow limits, except the old
crop positions, which showed more
stronger and advanced some 20 points
above the recent decline.
During the afternoon an effort was
made to advance the new crop posi-
tions, and COS points were gained, but
the advance did not hold, and during
the last hour the low prices of the day
were reached.
Private crop reports to-day were
again very favorable, and, as stated in
our recent letters, there seems to be
nothing in present crop situation to
justify buying, and, in fact, there has
been little evidence of buying support,
the upturns being wholly due to the
taking of profits on the part of short
sellers.
The local traders, however, bear in
mind the sharp advance at the close of
last week, and are not disposed to sell
the market short except for quick
turns, and by reason of this the de-
clines are not rapid.
Reports from manufacturing centers
continue to be discouragng, and state
that the mills will only buy from day
to day to meet their requirements.
We have been disposed to regard
these reports as exaggerated, but they
| have been so constant of late that
there must be substantial foundation
for them.
Present prices appear cheap. as COM
pared with prices ruling two and three
months ago. and this has the effect OF
preventing aggressive short selling
around 912c, but as long as the crop
! promises favorably, no speculative
| buying support can be expected.
At the moment it looks as If the
market would be a narrow. f1uctuat-
ing one, pending further developments.
