powers and to leave no excuse for the
sending of warships through the
|Dardanelles to effect the capture of
the battleship, which until now Rus
Sia's Black sea fleet has not dared to
attempt. 1t is considered a shrewd
move on the part of the mutineers and
stamps the commander of the crew as
leader far above the class of the ordi-
nary sailor and strengthens the opin-
ion that he is not a member of the
original crew but one of the revolu-
uonaries who went on board at
Odessa.
The issuance of the manifesto lends
a certain dignity to the nutiny and
proves that the crew and their COM
mander have no desire that the world
should believe them to be mere out
laws but should be looked on as men
seriously raising the standard of revo-
luton.
Nothing has been received to con-
firm the supposition that the request
for a doctor at Theodosia indicated a
struggle for supremacy on the way
from Kustenji.
According to a rumor printed in an
afternoon paper the ships strong box
contained $375,00O and the mutineers
would therefore be we'll supplied with
money.
In circles closely in touch with the
revolutionists it is regarded as a fore
gone conclusion that the commander,
knowing the situation in the Caucasus
will head for Poti or Batoun, where
the revolutionists are strong, in the
hope of producing a general rising.
With the authorities in the Caucasus
almost powerless to prevent it, such a
contingency is by no means impossi-
BILE.
Dispatches from Tifin received last
night say that reports of rioting at
Odessa and the action of the Kniaz
Potemkine have aroused the most in
tense interest and the widest joy
among the revolutionists. The receipt
of the report was followed by a com
rplete strike even the lamplighter
quitting work. The city is in dark
ness and the inhabitants generally are
fleeing to the northward
The Emperor Nicholas II, the crew
of which is reported to have mutinied
at Constantinople, is a Russian mer-
chairman. Considerable anxiety is
felt because the cruiser Chernomoretz
which was due at Sebastopol Monday
has not yet arrived.
Order has not been restored al
Bielostok. A censored telegram re-
ceived last night reports shooting was
heard, that crowds are fleeing and that
wild excitement prevails but no details
are given.

TWO BETTING RINGS
Will Be Established by New York Pro-
duce Exchange.

New York, July e.-At a meeting of
the New York grain trade at the pro-
duce exchange it has been decided to
authorize trading in grain future con-
tracts of 1000 bushels. The present
minimum contract is 5000 bushels.
Making 1000 bushels the minimum
speculative contract for grain will, it
Is argued. have the effect of divertfng
direct to New York large amount of
grain now shipped by the farmer to
interior markets. The plan proposed
is to have two rings for wheat trading,
the larger one being for 5000 bushel
lots as at present. and the smaller one
for 900 busheI lots.

..Reassnrance."

[From the Salina Journal
Assurance is given from Topeka that
the state has no cause for worry over
it's half million dollars in the First Ma
tional bank, because Mr. Devlin is on
the state treasurers bond, and people
out this way will be glad to hear it.
There was faint suspicion on the part
of some that there was cause for worry,
but this last assurance will quiet every
fear. Mr. DevIin broke the bank, be-
cause he borrowed a million dollars
which he could not pay One-half of
that million was state money, but Mr..
Devlin, who owes the state half mil
lion, which the state is liable to lose,
will make good as bondsman what he
cannot pay as borrower. That is per-
fectly reassuring.

A Belated Investigation.

LF'rom the Kansas City Star.l
The investigation of the state treas
urer of Kansas comes much, too late to
reflect upon the Hoch administration
the credit which it might have gained
by taking voluntary action in the case.
But as a matter of fact, there is no
more reason now for Investigating State
Treasurer Kelly of Kansas than there
has been at any time since he placed
his resignation in escrow with Cover
nor Hoch.

Kansas people have known for years
that c. ]. Devlin was a dangerous
plunger. How did it come that he was
permitted to qualify for 100000 on the
bond of the state treasurer? Wasn't it
a matter of favoritism to Tom Kelly, a
man who has been granted more phe-
nomenal favors than any other polite
ian in Kansas history?
The supreme court granted him IA
vors; the Republican leaders granted
him favors; the people granted him ia
Vors; the newspapers granted him ia
vors What is the secret of this mans
power? BY reason of Kelly the state
is now out large sum Of money. Will
the secret of his power come out now?
The manner in which apparently hon
est men have done the bidding of this
rogue is one of the dark chapters in
Kansas history.

Kelly's. 1t was all wrong. of course.
Kelly's first duty was to his trust, to the
taxpayers, and not to Devlin. Kelly s
moral sense was not clear enough to
see this And now grief has
come upon Tom Kelly. The exposure
of his unfortunate methods at this time
should be lesson to men who have
public service to do, whether it be in
public office or in private life. Our
duties are always to the state. to the
general welfare. to humanity at large,
and to sacrifice that larger duty, to pay
a personal obligation, or to return a
past personal kindness. is like taking
public money to pay a private debt.
That is what Kelly has done.
If Tom Kelly had listened to the adj
vice of those who criticised him, and
turned his face from his ostensible
friends, he would not be where he is
today.

Take Your Medicine.

From the AtchisOn Globe.
The state of Kansas will certainly
lose a large amount of. money by the
failure of the First National bank at
Topeka. But Kansas people have only
themselves to blame. They reelected
Tom Kelly treasurer in the face of re-
peated warnings. They were familiar
with his record, and reelected him, at
the same time disgracing Governor
Bailey, a good official with a clean rec
ord. 1t may be said, in explanation of
the action of the people, that they were
misled by selfish newspapers and poll
ticians. The defeat of Bailey, auld the
triumph of Kelly, was due tonewspaper
influence The Kansas City Journal
and the Topeka Capital were RESPONSE
BILE The Kansas City Star was indiffer-
ent, during the campaign, but it is on
the right side now.
If you voted for Tom Kelly, take your
medicine, and look pleasant.

Profit Farmers.

The fiscal year of 1904-5. Just con.
Guided. was the greatest in the annals
of the Hill system of railroad lines.
Profits for the Great Northern are es-
timated at Is per cent on its stock.
Northern Pacific profits at Is per cent
and Burlington earnings are placed at
approximately 100000 for its Joint
owners. The latter fact is given spe-
clal stress, as indicating the remark
able development of business since the
road was purchased by Mr.. Hill four
years ago. Striking results have been
attained by placing the Burlington I'm.
der the direction of exceptional oper
ating talent.
The Hill system of roads has in
round figures 10000 miles of main
track. On this main track there are
outstanding a little more than S400,.
100000 of bonds, making $4,000 per
mile of bonded debt and a little less
than $400,000,000 of stock, being a lit
tie less than $4,000 per mile of stock
This excludes the Burlington joint is
but includes the Burlington stock. The
whole is selling at a market value OF
about $4,000 per mile. This valuation
includes iron ore lands held by the
Lake Superior company in trust fo'
Great Northern. The fixed charges OF
the system average about $3.50 PEI
mile, while the net earnings are abou
$4,000 per mile, or substantially three
times the fixed charges.

Parkman,s Deed of Justioe.

A story Is told about Francis Park
man, the historian, which shows that
In spite Of impaired eyesight he was
not blind to injustice. A friend met
aim walking along the street, holding
two street boys by their coat collars.
In reply to his friends request for an
explanation Parkman said: II found
this boy had eaten an apple without
dividing with his little brother. Now
I'm going to buy one for the little boy,
and make the big one look on while
he eats IT.
After reading this incident, we
should expect fairness of treatment IN
Parkman's histories.
