Chicago to Have the Biggest Gas
Works in the World.

Chicago. March 6.-The Peoples
Gaslight and Coke company is to cen
tralize the manufacturing of its gas in
a gigantic plant in the southwest part
of Chicago, which, when completed,
will be. it is claimed. the model gas
manufacturing plant in the world.
The project was made public yes
terday.
The site for the plant comprises 300
acres. located between Thirty-f1rst and
Thirty-ninth streets, and Fortieth and
Esorty-sixth avenues.
sIt7is b3see4Aa By the Chicago river
and has a frontage of three-quarters
of a mile on the drainage canal, thus
giving ample water facilities. It also
has excellent railroad connections.
The plant is to be erected in units
Of 10000, 600 cubic feet daily capacity.
It Is estimated that the cost of one
unit will approximate 100000, and
inasmuch as it is thought probable
that the company will commence ope-
ration with the building of two units.
the initial expense will approximate
$10,00O,000

PAVING TALK TONIGHT.
Mass Meeting of Business Men to
Settle Question.

ing in the cost of the plant said c. E.
Jewell, one Of the members of the COM
mittee. This seems to be the opinion of
the remaining members of the commit

cost and these viii be explained in de-
tail tonight.
1t is a matter of question whether the

CHINA Is PERTURBED.
She Doesn't Like the Rumors. of War
Preparations in America.

Pekin, March 6.-The Chinese gov
eminent is greatly perturbed by the
reports of anti-foreign movements
printed in the American and European
press, and particularly by the dis
patches announcing Americas prepa-
rations for a military expedition in
case of need. These reports, it is
alleged. tend to embarrass the foreign
ministers and create strained rela-
lions between them and the officials
here. A long edict published in the
Official Gazette today, after referring
to the Warlike reports, declares they
are circulated by traitors who wish to
separate China from her friends.
The edict points out the great diff
culties which confront China at pres
ent and the strong need for maintain
ing friendly relations with the pow ers.
It reproves the Chinese students for
meddling with politics and charges

to protect the lives and property of
foreigners, specifying the missions,
under pain of the most severe punish
ment.

William Sells, who is one of the pro-
prietors Of the Sells & Floto shows
arrived in Topeka this morning to
have a reckoning with parties who he
says have been attempting to harass
him since he has been absent from the

or two which is pending in the city
court.
Mr.. Sells said some things about in

in print, but continuing he said: To

BOWMAN REPLIES.
says Board Of Control Isn't Responsible
for Fort Scott Trouble.

H. G. Bowman, member of the state
board Of control, today gave out a
statement denying the charges made in
a recent issue OF the Fort Scott Trib-
une against the attitude which the
beard of control has taken concerning
the enforcement Of the juvenile court
law.
The Tribune charged that the law
should be repealed; that bad boys who
had been convicted OF crime at Fort
Scott were allowed to run at liberty be-
cause the board of control refused to
receive them in the reform school I'M
III they had been paroled and given a
chance to reform Among other tn ings
a gang Of youthful toughs robbed a
grocery store: they were convicted, and
the probate court wanted to send one to
the reform school The board of con-
troll wouldn't take him. The result Is,
according to the Fort Scott Tribune,
that the boy is running around town
smoking cigarettes and a pipe which he
stole from the store, and bOasting to
other boys how easy 1t is to escape
punishment. The result of this is. &C
cordfng to the Tribune that efforts to
incarcerate other youthful offenders at
OF'rt Scott have been abandoned.
MI Bowman intimates strongly that
the trouble with the enforcement of
the law in Bourbon county is the in
capacity OF the probate judge. It ap-
pears that Mr.. Bowman thinks that
some OF the probate judges Of the state
have not caught the spirit Of the new
law, which is to save children from
being sent to the refOrmatory institu-
lions.
1T seems that some men when they
egt the office Of judge" says Mr.. Bow
man, are filled with a desire to show
their authority, and they 'vindicate the
law by imposing the severest penalties
on youthful offenders"

OVER AN OLD CONTRACT.
New York Contractor and VIM. Sells
Had Disagreement.

The only thing at the Shawnee
county district court house today to
enliven the funereal stiffness which
pervades the building was a little suit
brought by Edward P. Hatch Of New
York. representing Lord and Taylor,
against Billy Sells.
Hatch had the contract to fix up
Sells standard theater in New York
city in 1886, but did not get it done on
time. AS a result Sells lost consider
able money because of his delayed
opening. They disagreed over a sum
of 1855 in the final settlement, and
Hatch brought suit. The case was
tried today and given to the jury this
afternoon.
