It is harmful is without foundation.

MAY Be TUCKER.
Eureka Senator May Be Secretary OF
State Committee.

A boom was started today for Geo.
r. tucker of Eureka for the job of
secretary of the Republican state CEN
trail committee. Mr. Tucker is at
present out of a political occupation,
as he was beaten for the Republican
nomination for congress in the Fourth
district, and his term as state senator
will expire with the present year.
Tucker is regarded as one of the
ablest young men in the square deal
crowd. and he at the same time is well
liked by the INA achine" faction. He is
too valuable a man for the politicians
to allow him to drop out of the game.
and it would not be surprising If the
demand for him to be candidate for
secretary would become SO strong that
the state committee would make it
unanimous.
]. c. Gafford came to Topeka today,
and announced that he has no desire
to be a candidate for the secretary
shin. Mr.. Gafford holds the position
of state accountant.

SENTENCED 26 TO Die.
Record of One Day in the Dominion
of the Gar.

ST. Petersburg, Aug. 19.-Seven more
sentences of deaths were reported to-
day, making the total for one day,
yesterday throughout the empire rs,
and constituting sinister record One
sentence was signed at Kharkov, two
at Saratov, three at Kiev, five at War
saw, five at Piusk and ten at LODI.
The two men sentenced at Sartov were
former sailors attached to the Black
sea fleet and had been found guilty
of taking the lead in an attempt to
pillage an estate. The three men at
Kiev were found guilty of attempting
to murder a forester, the five Warsaw
men were convicted of robbery accom-
panied by violence and the ten men at
Lodz were condemned for an armed
attack on a railroad train. The dis
patches do not mention the reasons
for the Kharkov and Piusk sentences.
There were two executions yesterday
at Warsaw, one at Tifiis and several at
ST. Petersburg. The newspapers have
ceased to publish statistics of this kind.
in order to maintain their circulation
in the provincial cities, where the pub
lication of death sentences is prohib-
tied. This regulation does not apply
to st. Petersburg or Moscow, but there
the papers, because of their out of town
circulation have eliminated any refer
ence to these matters. ......--

made last evening to assaSsinate the

over AN inch OF RAIN.
Another Heavy Storm Visits Eastern
Kansas.

A heavy electric and rain storm
visited Topeka just before daybreak
this morning, the precipitation
amounting to 1.10 and reports re-
ceived at the local weather station in
dicate that the storm was general
over the state. The forecast sent out
from the government weather station
at Chicago predicted fair weather for
last night and today though a sup
Elemental report issued by the local
Sas.
The forecast sent out from Chicago
was founded on barometer readings
taken in the lake region while the To-
cal forecast was made from general
conditions in this state based on the
velocity and direction of the wind. A
low temperature condition has pre-
vailed in the extreme northwest for
several days the mercury readings in
a number of instances being but few
degrees above freezing point.
This condition taken with the
High" which has prevailed at the
same time is largely responsible for
the cool weather and local storms
which have prevailed in Kansas dur
ing the past week. The rainfall dur
ing the morning was heaviest in the
valley of the Kaw and along the
streams tributary though the precipi-
tation has not been such that there is
a possibility of a rise in the kaw
which will effect the river at this point
to noticeable extent.
The electric display about o'clock
this morning was one of the most
brilliant witnessed in this part of the
state this season and the nearness of
the lightning and crashing of the
simultaneous thunder indicates that
many bolts of lighting struck in or
near the city. One bolt of lightning
struck the spire of the Methodist
church and tore off a strip of shingles
and lost itself in the interior of the
building without doing further dam
age,
Reports received at the government
weather station in Topeka indicate the
precipitation at the following points
in the state: Topeka, 1.10; Concordia,
70: Dresden, IS; Manhattan, 102;

A MATTER OF HONOR.
Hollands Grievance Against Vene
zuela Can't Be Arbitrated.

The Hague. Aug. 19.-After a nine
hour session during which the dispute
between the Netherlands and Vene-
zueIa was canvassed exhauStively in
all its phases, the cabinent dispersed
shortly after midnight last night and
Minister of Foreign Affairs Van Swim
deren, proceeded to the royal chateau
at Het Loo to acquaint Queen VII
helmina with the result of the coun-
ell. The terms of the Netherlands an
swer to the letter Of President Castro
of Venezuela were fully discussed and
it is understood that the actual test as
well as broad lines of action drawn up
to meet any possible eventualities,
were agreed upon.
In diplomatic circles here the view is
entertained that the present difficulty
between Holland and Venezuela is not
of a nature to be settled by arbitration
and in explanation it is pointed out
that the dispute is not of private
commercial character like the difficult
ties that have arisen between Vene-
zuela and Great Britain, Germany and
America In these cases the govern
rrlents in question sought satisfaction
for claims, but Holland has no claim
against Venezuela. 1t is maintained
that the present question is rather one
of society and national honor, matters
which are not SO susceptible Of solu-
ton by arbitration

been one of the most honorable careers

peculiar degree his name typifies the
growth of our navy from the days OF

Evans himself brought into the Pacific

had ever appeared west of Magellan or

during the first period of a voyage such
