KITCHENER'S STAR ASCENDANT
Title of vicerOy May ne All
that is Left 20 Lord
MInto.


CALCUTTA. Jan. 5.-(Special )-And now
II is reported that Lord Kitchener is to be
given a hand still more free in connection
with the military government Of India. The
troubles in this connection between Lord
Kitchener and Lord Curzon, the viceroy,
will be remembered by all. II was at that
time supposed that the home office had
done all that could possibly be done along
these lines, and the suggestion is made
that II things continue In this direction
much longer the viceroy, Lord Minto, will
have little real power left except that
which clings round the title of viceroy.
On the occasion OF his visit to the great
Mohammedan college at Algarb. Lord
Kitchener made a pleasant reference TO the
associations which he had formed with
Mohammedans all over the world in the
course OF his career. He added: 1T is
very satisfactory to see that the education
given here tends to increase the feelings
OF devotion and loyalty to the king-em-
peror, and that spirit for military service
which distinguished your forefathers in the
past. As you are aware a large proportion
Of the Indian army consists Of Mohsm-
medan officers and men. These constitute
some Of the finest and bravest soldiers
have the honor to command and wOrthily
maintain the credit and reputation OF the
Mohammedan races of India. As president
Of the Gordon college in Khartoum wish
TO thank you for the kind expressions you
have used about that institution. OF course
it is a small one compared with Aligarh,
but I continue 70 receive excellent reports
Of the progress that is being made and the
enthusiasm of the Mohammedan popula-
tlons. and I hope in the course of time the
students of the Gordon college will rival
Aligarh in competition for university
honors"

CANDLES FRIENDS CONFIDENT
south Dakota senatorshIp May Come
Up I'm Caucus Monday
Night.

PIERRE, 8 d. Jan. 6-(Special Tele-
m.)-Governor Crawford and practically
all the state officials, including the con-
gressmen elect and Senator Gamble are In
the city, ready for the work of the session.
Senator Gamble is accompanied by
strong delegation from Yankton. who are
all working In his interests At the present
they express the utmost confidence in the
outcome, and the indications point to his
selection without much of a fight At the
same time thero is an element of danger
present, which might develop, but which
Is being well kept down. II is expected
the matter of the senatorship will he
brought up in the caucus for organization
which will be held Monday night, In which
case the point win be raised by the stall
wart faction that II is not a proper matter
for such a caucus and that action should
be deferred until the charges which have
been made against the senator have been
Investigated. II will be urged that IL the
charges are not founded on fact he will
lose nothing by such action as the vote
cannot be taken untfl the 2od. which will
give ample time for the investigation. II
the charges are not proved Gamble will re-
ceive every vote Of the stalwarts. but 9TH
erwise they do not believe he should re-
ceive their votes.
In the speakership contest IT IS conceded
that either CLANCY or Carroll will win.
Their strength appears to be well divided
and Il will likely take the caucus to de-
eide. AS both are friends of Gamble and
the incoming administration the leaders are
keeping out OF the fight so far as any
surface indications are concerned.
The fight for secretary OF the senate is
now fully three cornered with Armstrong
OF FaulSton, Simous Of Dawson and Mum
son Of Clark in the contest, each feeling
confident.

lead for chief clerk Of the house over Peter

withdrawn.

LISBON. Jan. 6,-(special)-An interest
ting struggle is on foot here between the
government and the newspapers, which
promises exciting developments. Recently
the government brought forward bill in
PARLIAMENT regulating the rights and the
liberties OF the press, which was generally
condemned as being OF a reactionRry nature.
The second act in the drama took place
when the propTietors and political directors
Of nearly all Of the Lisbon papers held a
meeting after which they came TO the fol-
lowing agreement: That anyone aiding In
any way to carry this bill into law shall
be ignored in the public press and shall
be regarded as nonexistent-"
The significance OF this step is that
neither the persons nor the speeches Of the
members OF the government will be men
tiond In the Lisbon press. and only the
speeches OF the opposition win be reported.
An Of the principal newspapers both in
Lisbon and the provinces have adhered to
this resolution The fall OF the govern
ment is even predicted If the bill Is not
quickly withdrawn.

BRITISH PROPOSAL REJECTED
Germany Held Responsible for Action
of Turkey Regarding Debt
of Macedonia.

CoNsTANTINoPLE. Jan. 6.-(special.)- y
The debt council has rejected the British
proposals for the relief of the Macedonian
budget, but has pledged itself to cover
Macedonian deficits from the surplus OF
the tithes attached to the loan service.
SHOULD this surplus be insufficient the coun-
ell and the government will make good
the deficiency.
The British proposal was to take from
the surplus of the customs and other rev.
enues the sum Of s260,OOO annually to cover
Macedonian deficits. German influence is
the direct cause of the rejection Of that
proposal, for Germany ardently desires that
the surplus OF such revenues shall be de-
voted by the porte exclusively to the pay
ment OF the llometrie guarantees for the
Bagdad railway.
The responsibility taken by the debt coun-
ell in order to further German aims can
be considered very serious.

A Much Married Man

A curious case of polygamy was re-
Gently tried in a French court. A
baker, fifty-seven years old, stood be-
fore a Versailles jury accused of hav-
ing married five women. The wives
were all alive, and none had been d.
vOrced by the baker The weddings
took place in the years 1876, 1881, 1856,
1890 and 1904. OF these marriages four
had received the blessing Of the church.
and, although the weddings took place
in churches of neighboring districts.
the man had no difficulty whatever in
contracting them. The trial of the pen
tagOmist took humorous turn. The de-
PENDANT declared that he did not mar
ry because of love or for the sake Of
money. Indeed. he asserted that he had
not married the women, but the women
had married him. When one of them
proposed marriage he had not the cour-
lge to refuse OF the mans five wives
three appeared as witnesses. They de-
posed that their mutual husband was a
lrunkard Of whom they wished to be
rec. Oddly enough, he was acquitted.

The Paris police have gathered in

the band riding a bicycle would man
age to get knocked down and run over
by a cart. The rest of the members
were witnesses of the accident and
unanimously agreed that it was en-
tirely the fault of the driver An ac-
ton for damages followed, and the in
surance company had to pay the in
jured man the amount of the policy
he held. But suspicion was excited by
the fact that it was always the same
people who appeared as witnesses or
victims and in the end the ways of the
were discovered. Dur
ing the eighteen months existence of
the voluntary Accident society" it
had made $1,000. and a lot more money
was in sight.

Owed him so well that the uncertainty
was torture, only comforted by the
knowledge that he had no other girl

questionable devotion to her. This
went on for some years.
AT last she fell ILL., The doctor, in

answered that he had loved her al
ways--as he had, indeed, in a way.
Yet she felt the truth-that he never
had loved her. II was only friendli-

to save her happiness and pride.
"She dismissed him at once, brave

eager little Mile Slmpkins, her eyes

Miss Oily rose and laid her hand
for a moment on the girls head be-
fore replying. When at last she spoke
again there was a new throb In her
quiet tone. Perhaps she had spoken
with purpose. seeing that little Milly
was allowing her regard for careless
young Stone to become subject to talk
among the veranda gossips.
"Ah, but you see" she said softly,
