ss Object TO the Plan.
Kansas City, Sept. 12.-Negro pu-
pills were refused admission to the
white high school at Kansas City,
Kan, ten miles distant, yesterday. The
matter probably Will be tested in the
courts.
The Kansas legislature last winter
passed an act separating the races in
the Kansas City school, a direct re-
suit OF agitation following the murder
of a white boy by II negro pupil.
Bonds were voted to build school for
the negroes, and pending the erection
OF the structure the board of education
planned to have two sessions daily at
the white school, that in the morning
for the white children and the ses-
sion in the afternoon for the negroes.
The negroes objected, preferring to sit
with the whites.
At Bonner Springs the school board
arranged separate rooms for the
whites and the negroes, but to this the
negroes objected.

Harpers Magazine few week 80. I
brooded anew over the murdeS tho
girl, and as I read of this hers ct

for the blood Of Charles Sterling is
on my hands and have decided to end
my terrible life.
My real name Is Charles HerZig. /
will endeaver to die some place where
my body will never be found, but If 1T
should be, notify my mother. I make
this confession that the grave OF
Charles Sterling may no longer be
looked upon as that of a murderers.
CHARLES HERZIG.
Body Not Found.
Mr.. Byer, upon reading the note,
called to his assistance several men
working on adjoining claims, and a
thorough search of the entire section
was made, but no trace Of Herzig's $
body could be found.
Herzig had been sleeping in a small
shed in the rear Of the shack occupied
by Byer. He seemed to be of a rather
Respondent nature, and after the days
work was done would Immediately seek
the seclusion of his shed bedchamber.
He was very early riser and always
had the fire going when Mr.. Byer
arose. The date of his confession
shows that he had prepared 1t several
days before his disappearance. If Her
zig has made truthful statement and
has taken his own life, there fs no
doubt but that the body will be found
soon.
Charles Grow, of the Grow Clothing
Company of this city, was resident OF
Youngstown at the time Of the murder
mentioned. and when Sterling was
hanged. He says the details of the
killing of the girl are substantially
correct and remembers that Sterling
was convicted on strong circumstantial
evidence. A letter has been addressed
to Mrs Catherine Herzig, at Girard,
Ohio, and some light may be thrown
on this purported confession IL she is
still living.

Great Loss of Life on the Mika-
sa Flagship Of the Jap
anese Navy
r,RE CAUSES FATAL EXPLOSION
a Total Of 500 Officers and Men Lose
Their Lives in the Disaster, Cause
ef Which is MISUNDERSTANDING
Was ii All the Principal Engage
snents Of the War.

Toxic. Sept. 12.--The Japanese bat
fjeship Mikasa, which was Togo's flag
ship during the battle on the Sea Of
Japan, caught fire and sank, yesterday.
The Mikasa was 2 first class battleship
of l5,2oo tons displacement. She was
built in England in 1902. The battle
chip was 400 feet long, had a speed of
over eighteen knots and carried a crew
Of 9s5 officers and men.
! Il The loss OF life by the sinking Of the
1Iikasa, totals 500 officers and men, in
I cluding detachments from other war;
ships, which went to the rescue of the
vessel.
THE fire started from an unknown
cause at midnight, Sunday. Before the
officers could be rescued the fire had
reached the aft magazine, which ex-
ploded, blowing a hole in the port side
+ Of the vessel below the waterline, and
causing the ship to sink. An investiga-
tion is now being made to determine
the cause Of the fire. &
The Milsasa was the flagship of the
4 Japanese navy. She was present at all
the principal engagements during the
war, and on seversl occasions reported
to have been severely damaged in ac-
tion. In the battle on the Sea Of jap
an, the Mikasa was the heaviest loser
of all the Japanese ships, having six
ty-tl,ree killed and wounded. She APP
preached nearer tt, the Russians than
any other battlesllip. In the great
naval battle OFF Port Arthur the ship
also suffered most, but continued in the
lighting line. On that occasion the
Mikasa had four officers and twenty
nine men killed, and ten officers and
fifty-eight men wounded.
