WOODMEN'S DAY.
Competitive Drills VIII Be Held Dur
ing State Fair Week.

The State Fair association has Of
Tered prizes for the three best drill
teams In the state, barring Topeka.
The first prize is 800; the second $50,
and the third $25.
Thursday, September II, has been
set apart by the State Fair managers
as Modern Woodmen of America. day
when the competitive drills will be
held.
The association was a little late in
this enterprise, as no arrangements
We're made until a few days ago, but
M. w. Saxon, adjutant general NJ w
A Foresters, has begun in earnest the
work of apprising the $50 camps in the
state of the event.
Several thousand circulars have been
issued announcing the special day and
they are being mailed to the ca ptains
of all the drill teams in the state and
two or three hundred prominent M.
w. A. men.
Mr.. Saxon said today: Nothing will
be spared to make it worth while for
drill teams to come to the fair. The
fair association will assist the local NJ
W. A camps in arranging for the en-
tertainment of the visitors, and they
rangements should have been made
sooner to give them chance to drill
and get ready for the event, but they
will all have an even start.
Some of the best events of the fail
week are set aside for Modern Wood
men day. We have barred the Topeka
drill team from competing for the
prizes offered, as it has spent more
time in drill and attended many ma
tional contests. There are a lot OF
good teams in the state, and the drill
contest, which will take place under
electric lights in front of the grand
stand in the evening, promises to be
worth the price of admission.
"All the railroads have agreed tc
run Woodmen specials for the benef
of Woodmen who will come, and tick
cts will be sold on all these trains at &
| 20 per cent reduction. All uniformed
members of drill teams, whether thel
enter the contest or not, will be ad
mitted to the grounds free of charge
Every one is invited to take advantage

Seattle, Aug. 31-Consul Hismidzu
Of Japan has advised Baron Komura
of the sailing date of the steamship
Dakota The vessel leaves Seattle for
the orient September 20. and it. is be-
lieved the japanese envoy will en-
deavor to close up the affairs in time
to make connections with the Dakota.
Japan Is Well Fixed.
London, Aug. 31.-Koretiyo Taxa
hashi, financial agent of Japan, today
said: 1.-The Japanese government in
prosecuting the war never had in
mind the question of having to de-
pend upon an indemnity. The gov
eminent had prepared itself for any
emergency and at the present mo-
ment there is no less than $175,00O,-
600 untouched in London, Germany
and the United States. This being the
case, I see no reason for the issue of
q new loan. Had peace not been con-
cluded my government would have
raised an internal loan of 500, OOO,-
900 for the further prosecution of the
war"
When questioned regarding the
peace conditions Mr.. Takahashi con-
tinued: 'AIl far-seeing Japanese will
hail with satisfaction the conclusion
of peace, although there must be a
feeling of general regret that Russia
did not display a more reasonable at
titude in recognizing that Japan's
terms were not only reasonable but
very moderate. In the circumstances
all Japanese who take brOad-nin d.
ed view of the situation must recog-
nize that the decision of their en-
peror was the wisest possible. Had
the government insisted on an in
demnity it is clear that the war would
have continued. The things for
which the war was waged have been
more than achieved. and to continue
the war for pecuniary consideration
would not have been worthy of the
japanese nation. I do not share the
view that this is a halfway peace or
that conflicts are likely to ensue. Such
q condition has been amply provided
for by the Anglo-JapaneSe alliance.
Mr.. Takahashi looks for one of the
earliest developments in the far east
IN the education of China by western
methods, which has already COM
menced.
Russians DisgruntIed.
St Petersburg, Aug. 31.-The gen.
eral tone of the press is one of resigna-
ton. The Noyoe Vremya is a note
worthy exception. The editor, NJ. Sou
Norin, refuses to believe in the solidfty
of peace and contends that it is simply
a stage towards a new struggle be-
tween Russia and Japan. The Novoe
Vremya's article displays further irri-
tstion towards President Roosevelt for
his mediation which the paper consid-
ers was "regrettable, inopportune and
even disastrous for Russia
The Synoneteche stvo says: after a
shameful war Russia could certainly
lay no claim to an honorable peace.
She should congratulate herself on the
cessation of the war. the continuance
of which would cost UNNECESSARILY
greater sacrifices"
Other radical papers while cTiticiz-
ing the peace terms, express pleasure
at the conclusion of the war, which
they hope will be followed by a con-
Certed effort at International develop
ment.

STEEL TRUST CAUTIOUS.
1t Is Buying Pig Iron Only in Small
Quantities.

New York, Aug 31.-Apparently the
United States Steel corporation will
pursue cautious policy in its purchas-
es of pig iron, says the Iron Age. The
corpor alton has just bought $4,000 tons
of Bessemer pig for delivery during the
first half of September, paying for some
of the iron on the basis of $14.50 ton
and for some of it up to SIS a ton. 1t
is understood that the corporation has
now in blast 9212 pierce of its total fur
mace capacity.
Some basic pig purchases have been
made in the eastern territory, sales ag-
gregating 10000 tons have been effected
in the Cleveland district, and some buy
ing has taken place in the Pittsburg
district. There have been further sales
of low PHOSPHORUS iron
There has been a fair run of orders
for foundry iron, and the first indica
tons of some interest on the part of
buyers for the first quarter of 1906 are
appearing.
The scarcity of steel is becoming more
acute, particularly in the Chicago dis
trict. The announcement that the Steel
corporation will build seven additional
50-ton open hearth furnaces and an 1d-
ditional blast furnace at South Chicago
is interesting in this connection.
Further heavy sales of steel rails nave
been effected, the aggregate being about
zoe, 900 tons. Orders for 100000 tons
more are pending. An interesting tram
saction is the sale of 10000 tons to the
Grand Trunk road made by an Amer1-
can mill for delivery this year, the
Canadian mill which had the order not
being able to live up to its deliveries
Good reports continue to come from
the wire trade as to the tonnage being
placed. The leading interest has book
ed about 1400 900 thus far this month

COMMITTEE UNSUCCESSFUL.
So Far Party Guilty of Preelpitating
- Panic Not Found.

The committee appointed by the COM
mercial club mass meeting today made us
report with reference TO the starting OF
the ru1nor that the Bank of Topeka was III
a failing condition. The committee was
unsuccessful. but Indirectly traced the
source to the boy at the work in Ander-
sons cigar store. Yet, nothing definite
continued The report is as follows:
To EIon S. Clark. Chairman Meeting of
Members of Commercial Club:
Dear Sir-Your4 committee appointed TO
investigate the origin of the report in re-
gard to the condition of the Bank of To-
peka, beg leave to make the following
statement: Through the kindness of A G.
Goodwin, chief of police, we had the use
two of his best detectives. E. F. PaVey
and G. w. Belts, and after a thorough IN
vestigation of all rumors, we are satisfied
that it started from an irresponsible
source, perhaps without any intention OF
doing the bank any wrong, but the num-
Der of stories in circulation make it i'm
possible for US to say definitely who is re-
sponsible for it.
We have made a very. searching 1nVeStl-
Cation and are satisfied that there was nc
foundation for the runor and that the
Bank of Topeka is in splendid condition
and that there is not the slightest cause
for alarm among its creditors.
However, we propose to carry on our IN
vestigation, not only in regard to the Bank
of Topeka, but on reports that are dia-
bolical and malicious in circulation about
other institutions which are perfectly
punished to the full extent of the law

Fifth Ward Residents VIII Ask Coun-
Gil for Fire Station.

Residents of the Fifth ward will appear
before the council committee on CLAIMS
and accounts tonight and ask Tor the 10
cation of a fire station in that ward:
The plans for the station we're draWn
up some time ago, but the plans We're not
approved The Contemplated cost amount
ed to $1,000 1t is probable that the com
mittee will recommend the location OF the
station to the council
The detention hospital plans are also IN
the pigeon holes of the desk of the COM
mittee and will be called up for dAscus-
sion If the ordinance calling for a raise
in the salaries of the police department is
recalled for consideration it is probable
that something will be done with the two
building projects, otherwise it is scarcely
probable that they will pass the council
There is a strong movement on loot now
to call for a reconsideration of the IN
crease in salaries. Mayor Davis is wait
ing such an action before publishing his
intention of vetoing the ordinance. .
''They act just ike a flock of sheen, .
said the mayor this morning. lou get
one started and they all go in that direc-
ton 1t is funny the way that council
acted on that ordinance"

WHERE JAPAN SCORES.
She VIII Receive $75,OOO,OOO for the
Chinese Eastern.

ChIneSe Eastern.
Portsmouth, N. H, Aug 31.-The AS
ISOLATED Press is able to give one add
tional and interesting. as well as i'm
portant, detail in regard to the condi-
tions of peace. Most important of all
Sc the fact that the formal recognition
of Japan's possessions of the Chinese
Eastern railroad below kuenchengtse,
the junction of the branch of Kirin, in
wolves payment by Russia to China of a
sum estimated at $75.O00.0OO This is the
Chinese interest in the road and for it
China must be remunerated.
The question OF ultimate possession of
the road is matter to be settled by
Japan and China. Japan can keep the
road or surrender it to China, demand
3ng in return the money paid by Rus
sia to China. If she elects the latter
course, Japan will, therefore, obtain as
an indirect spoil Of war; from Russia
the above mentioned sum in addition to
REIN amusement for the cost of maintain
ing the Russian prisoners of war, for
which Japan will present an itemized
bill. Japan is known to have given her
word to China not to retain the rail-
road, which was really built for Strate-
Eic purposes. But if China prefers the
money to the railroad Japan could not
be accused of bad faith. Inasmuch as
Japan was DESTROYS, even before the
war, of extending the then projected
Korean railroad, which is already in OPP
GRAFTON, so as to eventually connect
with the Eastern Chinese and Shan Hal
KWang roads and in negotiatings which
preceded hostilities asked Russia to
bind herself not to impede this aim it
IS considered likely that she would her
self prefer the railroad to the money.
In addition to turning over the money
obtained from Russia, China, if she took
the railroad, would therefore have to
reimburse Japan for the expenses in
Cured by her in restoring the road, re-
building the bridges and changing the
gauge. Whether it remains in the
hands of Japan or ultimately becomes
q part of the system of Chinese imper-
1a1 railroads, q traffic arrangement must
be made with the part still in the pos
session of the old Chinese Eastern COM
pany the stock of which is held by the
Russo Chinese bank. This adjustment
will be arranged later.
Both Russia and Japan, if the latter
retains the road, are to be allowed to
have railroad guards" for the pro-
lection of the railroad property ami in
case OF disorder calculated to threaten
their interest are mutually to be per-
rnitted to send troops, but the number
is in no case to exceed those required
and they are to be forthwith re. allied

Oil Fuel for These Mills.

Wichita, Kan. Aug. 91.-The Imperial
mills are making a test of fuel oil in
their big furnace this week and are thus
far we'll pleased with results. The oil
was first turned into the furnace last
Monday morning. since which time no
other kind of fuel has been used. While
it is too soon to make any satisfactory
calculation as to the saving in cost over
slack. the other advantages of oil as a
fuel are SO apparent that the mill peo-
pie are greatly pleased. J. H. Reynolds
says the oil is so much more cleanly,
so much handler, and the general results
so much more satisfactory than coal
that there is no comparison.
