ALL VOTE FOR IT.
Proposition Looking to Limit OF
Armaments at The Hague.

The Hague, Aug. 17.-At the
plenary sitting of the peace confer
ence today a resolution proposed by
Sir Edward Fry, British, was adopted
unanimously, as follows:
/ This conference confirms the reso-
luton adopted by the conference of
1899 regarding the limitation of mill
tary burdens. AS military burdens
have been considerably augmented In
almost all countries since 1899, it de-
clares it is highly desirable to see the
governments earnestly resume the
study of this question"
The conference gave close attention
while Sir Edward Fry, head of the
British delegation, delivered his speech
on the subject of the limitation of ar
maments He recalled that the Emperor
of Russia in convoking the first peace
conference, had principally in view put
ting a stop to the augmentation of
ornaments, and the solution of this
question, Sir Edward added, had become
more and more urgent in view of the
manner in which ornaments had been
extended. He referred to the military
expenditures of various nations and
said that the British = government,
recognizing that several powers de-
sired to restrict their military power
were ready to communicate once year
to these powers inclined to do likewise
its projects for the constructing of new
warships, as we'll as the expenses i'm
piled thereby, believing that this ex-
change of news would facilitate the ex-
change of views between the govern
ments concerned regarding the reduc-
ton of ornaments.
NJ. Bourgeois. head of the French
delegation, addressed the conference
expressing the sympathy of France
with the British resolution and state
ment was read from the Spanish dele
CATION to the same effect. M. Nelidon,
head of the Russian delegation and
president of the conference delivered
speech saying that the conference must
receive sympathetically all efforts in
this direction. He recalled the fact that
the diminishing of military burdens
constituted the principal object of En-
peror Nicholas in convoking the con-
ference

WA-QUA-B AS-KUK HERE.
PottawatoInie Chief Comes to Topeka
on Shopping Expedition.


Big Chief Wa-qua- bas-kuk from the
Pottawatomie Indian reservation at
Mayetta was in town today shopping in
North Topeka. Chief Wa-qua-bas-kuk
is the man, who generally goes with D.
c. Tilotson, an attorney, to do bust
ness with the white Father" at WASH
ington
The Chief is 20 years old and still
clings to some of the customs of his
forefathers in matters of dress mingled
with some of the modern ideas. He
wears his hair 'bobbed'' according to
the style effected by the majority of the
small girls only he leaves enough long
hair in back to make a t'pigtail' which
is allowed to dangle down behind. The
rest of his garb was a wild attempt at
modern dress. His extremely tight
trousers were trimmed with a wide blue
stripe running down the sides, a
striped shirt, not tucked in, and Prince
Albert coat many sizes too large com
pleted the dress of the ambassador.
His present wife, who does his Eng
lish talking for him. says that the chief
was forty years old before he was hit
by cupid's arrow. His first. wife died
and then he married a half breed from
California, who speaks a perfect Eng
watomie language.
Don't put in the paper how much
money we spent while in town. was
her laughing caution. THAT seems to
be what all the papers print about u.s."

Expected to Pin Bill on New
Wife's Gown.
More Than a. Touch of Foreign
Customs Observed.

Tuesday was gala day in the settle
ment of Little Russia: Miss Lena
Lamprecht, one of the prettiest girls
of the settlement and Mr.. Adam
Scheafelbein spent the day and half
the night, according to the Russian
custom, in getting married.
At S o'clock in the morning the
ceremony of an hour in length, was
performed by Father Henry in the
beautiful Russian Catholic church at
the corner of Van Buren, and Third
streets. The pretty bride in her fine
American gown, long tulle veil and
orange blosso ms was a striking con-
trast to some of the older, care worn,
women with their little black shawls
over their heads and queer dark
dresses, relics of the kingdom of the
Car and poverty.

EMERSON SAYS NO.
Postal Manager Won't Employ Old
Men When Strike Is settled.

The local strike remains unchanged.
The Western Union is continuing to
handle the business as they have for
sveral days. The Postal is in good
condition and there are but one or
two offices in the entire country which
cannot be reached from the local Of
flee. While the force in nearly every
office is at the minimum, little difficulty
is experienced in handling the present
business from the local office.
Several. of the local operators are
beginning to ask for their old posi-
tons z. A. Emerson, the local man.
ager of the Postal, has been visited
with several requests from operators
who wish to have their old positions
as soon as the strike is settled. How
ever, Mr.. Emerson does not incline
very favorably to grant such requests,
especially as he says he has received
numerous applications from telegra-
pliers who have had plenty of expert
ence and are ready to step in as soon
as the strike is settled.
Eight new men were added to the
Postal force in Kansas City last night
This helps materially in handling the
business from the local office and get
ting it through quicker. From the
standpoint of the telegraph companies
today seems to be the best day since
the strike was called.

Free-for-AIl Fight in knights and
81 Ladies of Security Hail.

.Leavenworth., KAN, Aug. ia civil
Knights and Ladies of Security meet
! ing last night. The tflirty-f1ve members
in attendance men and women, were
pitted against each other in about
equal factions to settle by physical
strife a controversy in lodge politics.
The few neutral members present were
L. G. Walker the officer In charge, and
P. F. Carroll; sergeant at arms. They,
with the assistance of Officer Frank
Baskas of the police force, were able
to quell the riot after several of the
combatants had received bloody noses
and black eyes from their bellicose
brothers and sisters. Officer Baskas
was the object of a vigorous attack
from a detachment of the angry wives
in the gathering.
After the trouble had been reduced
to a scattering volley of heated words
there were numerous threats of crirni-
nal prosecution, but no warrants have
yet been sworn out
AS one faction went down the street
a woman was heard to say:
81 had him by the ear and pulled
him around-he amt no gentleman or
I wouldn't have hit him.
When they were separated the men
wiped away the blood with their hand
kerchiefs and their wives dressed their
rumpled hair. Coats and millinery,
masculine and feminine, were scattered
on the carpet of the lodge room. There
was confusion and pandemonium of
the tongues.

KANSAS TURNED DOWN.
Oklahoma Refuses to Turn Over Man
Wanted for Embezzlement.

An overly officious assistant attorney
general down in Oklahoma may be re-
sponsible for. the escape of Kansas
man who was wanted at Independ-
ence, Kan, to answer for embeZzle-
ment.
The man wanted is T. F. Sheff1e-
botham, who ran a bucket shop at In
dependence. He skipped out taking
with him about $1,000 of his customers
money. At some Oklahoma town he
was apprehended, and requisition was
issued by Governor Hoch for the re-
turn of the prisoner. 1t happened that
Governor Frantz, of Oklahoma, was
called out of town when the requisition
arrived, and the matter was turned
over to an assistant attorney general
for action. The assistant attorney gem
eral proceeded to resolve himself into
court and jury and try the case. He
heard ali the evidence, and finally an
nounced that since Sheff1e botham. had
taken money involved in bucket shop
deals, such deals being Illegal under
the laws of theustatea of Kansas, the
parties who. had lost the money were
equally guilty with Sheff1ebotham, and
were not entitled to protection. He
therefore refused to issue the requisi-
tion. Now an effort is being made, to
get Governor Frantz to reconsider the
case. ST. 1885, -.Di .Fs
1t may be, however. that the action
of the Oklahoma official will serve as
solemn and awful warning to the
patrons of bucket shops.
