A plot against the enforcement OF
the prohibitory law and also with a
view of ultimately making prohibition
a thing of the past in Kansas has been
formed, so it is said, and that the head
quarters Of the movement are located
in Wichita. Maybe this is true but
such plot has about as much a chance
of successful accomplishment as a
SNOWFALL has of a long and healthy life
In a red hot frying pan.

The reason a girl can fool a man is
he thinks he is doing the fooling.
The time a woman can smile the
most naturally is when she wants to
cry.
An easy way not to be bothered by
your relations is to be poorer than
they are.
A man without convictions Is unin-
teresting, but a man with them Is In
sufferable.
No matter how proud man is OF
being able to do things around the
house, it never takes any useful form
like chopping wood.

Something of a novelty in the world
of labor is found in the new wage
agreement between the cotton manu-
facturers of the eastern states ana the
representatives of the textile workers.
Under it the operatives, who NUMBER
some $4,000, will accept a wage reduc-
ton of 1894 per cent. This agreement
will be in force until November.

who invited hundreds of rather ig-

infiicts in some parts of this country

 J. C.. Goold. a cotton merchant of Liverpool. arrived in this city today from San Francisco. on his way home after a journey of 40,0o0 miles. To- night Mir. Goold said that his stay in Japan convinced him that Japan was poverty that what credit she has is based upon fictitious values, and that she is in no condition to wage war upon any other nation in the world.
 He said he found the people of Japan suffering from great poverty; that the land itself is not able to support the population that inhabIts 1t, and that the Japanese are so suspicious of one another that in their banks and other institutions they place Chinese rather than Japanese in positions of trust.
 They are great takers, the Japan- ese' said Mir. Goold, "and their big should know better Through their talk their securities have become fa- vorites in England. venture to say, though. that any English holder of Japanese securities who would go to Japan would sell out his securities very quickly. I would not put my own money into tlSem. no matter how cheap. ly they could be bought.
 everybody in Japan does business upon credit. There is little actual money. The length of the list of so- called securities held by banks in Ja- pan is appalling. Everybody in the country seems to owe everybody else. and nobody can pay except in prom ises. A country that has no gold is fin q bad way and Japan has no gold. The poorer inhabitants go throughout the wear without seeing money. A Jap anese- who happened to see a British sovereign which I had fin my hand called all his fellows around him that they, too. might look at it. Neither he nor they had ever seen gold coin be- fore."

The indignation of the people could not be restrained. if the Legisla-

The streets and roads were built up under the constitution as 1t is. It shows the value of good roads and good streets to the adjacent owners, and that the law is ample. It certainly demon strates not only there is no necessity for a change of the law, but the in- justice that would result by compell- ing other people to furnish the monay to enhance the value of his property in Mobile.

COLONIZATION OF KOREA.
Object Of Measure Rushed Through
Japanese Diet.

Toxic, May 23.-Some strong OBJ
jections have been raised here against
the provisions of the Oriental Coloni-
cation company, the bill for which was
rushed through the diet at the tail
end of the session, According to the
statement of the government delegate
the object of this measure was to
found company on the lines of the
old East India company of England
for the colonization of Korea by Japa-
nese. The operations of the company
will be confined to the peninsula, but
the president must be a Japanese,
while at least two-thirds of the direc-
tors and auditors must be chosen from
among the japanese shareholders
One vice president and one-third of
the officers are to be Koreans and the
appointment of all officials must have
the approval of the Korean govern.
ment. Briefly stated the special OBJ.
jects of this enterprise are the pur.
chase, sale, leasing, farming and col.
onization of land, the supplying OF
seed and the disposal of produce, the
engagement of colonists and farmers
and the construction, purchase, sale or
leasing of houses for their accommo
dation.

LUSITANIA BREAKS RECORD
Averages 24.83 Knots for Trip Across
the Atlantic.

New York, May 23.-Transatlantic
records for average speed and for the
shortest trip over the long course were
broken by the Cunard liner Lusitania,
which has arrived here. The big ship
anchored off the Sandy Hook light
ship In a heavy fog at 255 a. m, just
days, 20 hours and % minutes after
she passed Daunts rocks. This beats
the best previous time for the long
course made by her sister ship, the
Mauretania, by hours and 81 min
utes and is only l hour and AZ min
utes longer than the Lusitania's rec
ord of days, Is hours and 40 minutes
over the short course.
The Lusitania's average speed for
the voyage was 24.S3 knots and this
time goes far toward securing for her
owners the British mail subsidy of
$750000 promised when the Lusitania
and the Mauretania each shall have
averaged 2450 knots per hour or bet
ter for round trip passage.

KILLS SHIP SUBSIDY
House Rejects Conference Report
on POStOffice Bill.
DEFEATED BY EIGHT vUIEo

Fails by Scant Margin and Measure
Is Again Sent to Conference.
Washington, May 23.-The house
rejected the conference report on the
postoffice appropriation bill, lat to
155. This means the defeat of ship
subsidy.
The subsidy feature was opposed by
Messrs. Stafford (Kan.), Small IN. c.
and Finley Is. CO. and the system of
weighing mails provided for in the
bill was condemned by Mr.. Murdoch
(Kan.).
Expressing regret that he was COM
PEELED to break" with his Democratic
colleagues on the subsidy proposition
Mr.. Hobson (Ala.) vigorously support
ed it, saying 1t was a matter of ma
tional Importance as distinguished
from gratuity to private interests.
When the time came for a vote Mr..
Williams insisted on a roll cali and
the ayes and nays were ordered.
The announcement of the result of
| the ballot was greeted with vociferous
| applause by the opponents of the re-
port. So close was the result that on
request of Mr.. Overstreet a recapitu-
| lation was ordered. This disclosed
! the vote as follows: Yeas 145, nays,
156. Thereupon Mr.. Overstreet moved
to disagree to the senate amendments
and ask a further conference, which
| motion brought to his feet Mr.. Moon,
| who insisted that having been defeat.
| ed, Mr. Overstreet could not under
the rules be recognized to make a mo-
ton In connection with the bill. Speak.
er Cannon overruled the point.
The amendments then were dis
i agreed to and a further conference
| with the senate asked.
1 The disagreement of the house OF
| representatives to the ocean mail sub
vention amendment to the postoffice
/ appropriation bill was laid before the
senate and a further conference was
| ordered, the senate conferees being
instructed to insist on the disputed
amendments.
