Gle Says Army Officers Must Not Receive
Presents from Subordinates.)
officials with view to determining their
application to officers of the army.
In accordance with the recommends
ton of the judge advocate general, Lieut.
Gen. Chaffee, chief of staff, issued cir
cular to officers and enlisted men of the
army inviting their attention to section
1774 of the Revised Statutes, which
statute provides as follows:
mo officer, clerk or employe in the
United States government employ shall
at any time solicit contributions from
other officers, clerks or employees In the
government service for gift or present
to those in superior official position;
nor shall any such officials or clerical
superiors receive any gift or present Of
fered or presented to them as contribu-
ton from persons in government en-
ploy receiving a less salary than them
selves; nor shall any officer or clerk
make any donation as a gift or present
to any official superior. Every person
who violates this section shall be sum-
marily discharged from the government
employ"
Gen. Chaffee says that this circular is
issued by order of the acting secretary
of war, and adds:
''The foregoing enactment includes
within the statutory prohibition the So
Letting of contributions by one officer
or employe from other officers or en-
ployes Of the United States when such
contributions are to be used for the pur-
chase Of gifts or presents to those in SUI
perior official position. The receiving
of presents by officers from their juniors
in rank or from civilian employees of the
several staff departments also falls
within the prohibition of the section
which imposes the penalty of summary
dismissal upon all those who by solicit
ing contributions or by giving or re-
ceiving presents become subject to it's
penal operation.
THE practice Of receiving presents
from persons not in the military estab-
lishment or in the employ of the govern
ment in recognition of services rem
dered, though not expressly forbidden.
is opposed to the spirit Of the statute.
and for that reason is not approved by
the department.
1.-THE requirements Of the statute
above cited will hereafter be strictly OBJ
served In all branches of the military e.

of its manners in conveying eatables to

exemplifles the Importance of the thumb.
The face of the Colobus is quite bare,
with cheek pouches, and most of the
genus are furnished with an abundance
of long, silky hair, which is imported to
Europe as a trimming to other kinds of
fur. The habit of these monkeys being
arboreal, it is a puzzle to naturalists
why the thumb has disappeared, and
as we have very imperfect acquaint-
ance with the genus in its native haunts,
the present addition to the geological
gardens may help to solve another Of ma

DENEEN THE MAN.
Break Expected in the Illinois
Deadlock Today.
Yates Forces Will Go to Third
Man in the Race.

Springfield, Ill, June 3.-Early in
dications were that Charles s Deneen
would be nominated for governor by
the Republican state convention late
this afternoon. This was the trend of
inside talk among Yates men before
the convention met. Lowden expect
ed to make another effort to stam-
pede the convention, and it was ex-
pected that Yates men would go to
Deneen.
When the convention met for the
afternoon session yesterday the long
expected break from Yates to Lowden
came, and he got the vote of Speaker
Cannon's district as we'll as the votes
of several other counties and some
scattering delegates For several bal
lots his vote increased until he
reached a vote of 63115. Then the
tide turned, and on the closing ballet,
the seventy-eighth, his vote had
dropped to 532 ". 1t required 752 to
nominate.

There was no material change in the
vote of the other candidates
Much excitement prevailed during
the aftern9o6 e1Sf6 s.1 session L0wden ss
tions in efforts to stampede the con-
ventfon, and they made a great din
When LOwden began to fall back the
Yates people began a demonstration
and let down from the girders a great
banner bearing the quotation, Hold
the fort" Mr.. Cannon ordered it
taken down, and a dozen ready hands
tore it from its fastening and threw
the wreck into the Morgan county
Yates delegation A free-for-an fight
was prevented only by the interfer-
ence of the police. The banner, after
its rescue by the Yates men, was hung
up in the rear of the platform.

IN RLOC JAM.
Safety of the MeIan Approach
Endangered.
Street Railway Tries in Vain to
Break the Tangle.

The log-jam at the city railway
bridge has been growing rapidly during
the past IS hours, owing to the rise in
the streams west of Topeka. IT now
extends for SO feet west of the Melan
bridge, and the Efforts of the gang of
street car men to break the jam have
so far been almost futile. Great guam
titles of dynamite have been used to
loosen the tangled logs, but without
very much effect. The jam has grown
steadily, and it IS now thought that it
forms a solid mass to the bottom of
the river.
It is possible that the street car con-
pany may be Obliged to tear out one or
two. panels from its bridge to let tic
jam go through, though it is said there
would be considerable danger in this.
The whole bridge, weakened by the
break, would be likely to go out. as
it is not any too firmly located.
Street Commissioner Snyder said to-
day: There is danger that in case of
further rise, this jam viii cause the
current to scour into the north Dank,
wash out the north abutment of the
bridge and allow the temporary ap-
naunication between Topeka. and North
Topeka and breaking the water and
gas mains which are laid across the
temporary approach IhlS would be q
serious calamity to North Topeka.
The high water has also made a lot
of trouble for the bridges across Snun-
ganunga creek. The bridge at Van
Buren, was closed this morning by or
der of the street commissioner. One end
of the structure had been weakened by
the torrent, and gone down.
At Sixth street the bridge across the
creek has been seriously damaged
The retaining wall at the southwest
corner has fallen. and one of the side
walks is rendered useless. The
gon way is still open, but the
bridge is not in very safe condition.
This is the bridge to which the street
commissioner called the attention of
the council about a mnoth ago, and
recommended immediate repairs The
council got tangled up with red tape,
and delayed doing anything.
At Twentieth street the creek
washed out lot of land, and cut into
the roadway somewhat.

TORNADO AT DALLAS.
Roof Blown on the Western Unio1
Telegraph Office.

Kansas city, No, June s.-A tor
nadO at Dallas, Tex, today blew the
roof off the Office of the Western
Union Telegraph company and caused
other damage throughout the city. As
far as known no one was hurt. Up
to $3.50 o'clock the Western Union was
still working wire into its Dallas
Office.
6rhe storm broke over Dallas at .
o'clock this morning and continued
with great force until 8 Rain had
fallen in torrents all night accom-
panied by a heavy wind which finally
developed into cyclone proportions
The principal damage done aside from
the Western Union Office was the
wrecking of several small houses in
the outskirts As far as known no
one was hurt. When the Western
Union building was struck a panic
ensued among the force at work in
the operating room All wire connec-
ton with the outside was cut for sew
eral hours and was only partially re-
stored at 3 O'Clock. At 9:45, however
the city was again cut out from the
outside world
It is believed that more or less dam
age has been done in the outlying
country

REVISE HEALTH LAWS.
State Board Has Plans to Make some
Needed Changes.

The state board of health will ask
the next legislature to wake number
of additions to the health laws Of the
state. Besides asking for a law which
viii give the state board supervision
over the water supply and sewage sys-
TENS of cities. the board VIII recon-
mend that law be passed requiring
the fumigatiOn of railroad cars and
providing penalty for the use OF in
fected cars 1t frequently happens that
persons are taken with SINE contag-
fous disease While on a train, and the
cars are not fumigated and as the
travelling public has no knowledge Of
the infection il cannot take precautions
against it.
The collection of vital statistics is
another matter concerning which the
board viii recommend legislation. At
present the laws are inadequate to
compel physicians to report deaths and
their causes 10 public officials.
The treatment of tuberculosis is still
another matter which will be the sub
ject Of some sort OF legislative enact
ment in the near future. II the advice
of the medical authorities of the state
is followed. tuberculosis is gradually
on the increase all over the country.
One plan which is propoesd is to build
tuberculosis hospital in the western
part OF the state. where the altitude is
high and the atmosphere comparatively
dry, where tuberculosis patients may
be sent for treatment.

No Messages Pass.
New Chwang, June 3.-Every effort
on the part of the Russians to com
municate with the southern part of the
Lao Tung peninsula has resulted in
failure. The japanese are in control
of all communication and they allow no
messages to pass With the exception
of the authorities the Russians in New
Chwang are daily growing more de-
pressed at the outlook
An officer of high rank, who has ar
rived from Mukden spoke as follows
concerning General Kuropatkin:
He is awakening to the fact that the
Japanese are worthy of praise, said
this officer. He declares that the re-
cent operations prove them to be
among the greatest strategists in the
world and to this must be added great
daring, capacity for work and ability
to stand punishment The general did
not believe this before, but now it has
been demonstrated.
The mills at Harbin are being work
ed day and night in grinding Manchur-
ian wheat and the daily output is es-
timated conservatively at 100000 pounds
of flour. The Russian authorities are
encouraging the farmers to plant larger
crops than ever before and they are
not depending on the Trans-Siberian
railway for the transportation of sup
plies.
TFiUbtfr7o Ts General
Mukden, June 3.-For two days past
rumOrs have been current of severe
fighting the Lao Tung peninsula.
Details are lacking but the fact that
fighting has been general throughout
the peninsula is officially admitted. The
Russians have pushed their outposts
south to Kan Fang on the railway
while the Japanese occupy the country
from the shores of Korea bay inland
to the vicinity of Stu Yen. The fact
that a Japanese army estimated TO
number $4,000 men is concentrated
south of Kin Chou, is regarded here as
Indicating the region where decisive
battles will be fought.
Continuous Cannonading.
Lao Yang, June 3-There are persist
ent rumors that another great battle
is in progress near Port Arthur. Con-
tinuous cannonading has been heard
An additional force of $1,000 Japanese
is reported to have landed at Taku
Shan.
Firing Heard.
Chefoo. June $50 F. M-steamers
which have arrived here from New
Chwang report that firing in the vicin-
ity of Port Arthur was heard last
night.
Russians Change Their Minds.
Paris, June 3.-A dispatch to the
Temps from st. Petersburg says: 1t
appears that the Russian relief col
umn of 1000 men, ,mobilized for the
suecor of Port Artlalir. has abandoned
its project, owing to the fall of Kin
Chou and the landing of Japanese re-
Inducements.
