The same embarrassing questions arose
in our own civil war. and were solved In
much the same way. However loath we
were to recognize the confederation inter
nationally as an independent power. the
extent of the rebellion. which made II one
OF the greatest wars OF modern times. re-
auired for humanity's sake that all the
rules applicable to the conduct Of war be-
tween two independent nations should
be observed In the War OF the Rebellion.
aud 10 Is not too much-to say that In the
War of the Rebellion there was substan-
TALLY the same relation aa that between

MAKING WAR MORE HUMANE.
In the Middle Ages, and indeed down to
the advent Of Napoleon, death was per-
haps the least of the horrors which were
associated with the status Of prisoners OF
war.
In relatively recent times the lot OF the
prisoner Of war has been made the sub
ject Of amelioration in cartels. treaties
and conventions which define the rights
Of the captured and the duties Of the cap
tor. Tho personal safety OF the prisoner
Of war is secured. his personal possessions
and belongings are protected from capture
and spoliation. and offences against him
are vigorously punished. The measures
OF restraint to which a captor may resort
for the detention OF prisoners cannot now
take the character Of prfiAitive imprison-
ment.
It must be source Of qualification TO
all Of us to learn the provisions OF the Hague
convention with reference to the rights
Of prisoners of war as they are now under
stood by all the signatory powers TO that
convention and to see that 1t is the duty
OF the capturing forces to make as ample
provision for the prisoners Of war as for
their own men. still moro emphatic
evidence of the progress that has been
made and an earnest OF what We may ex-
pect hereafter IL to be found In the treat
ment Of prisoners of war In the late Rus
sian-Japanese conflict, when both parties
exceeded In the tenderness and care which
they gave to the prisoners Of the other
the requirements OF the Hague conven-
ton.
This great memorial which we dedicate
to-day. In the condition Of things which It
records and their contrast with present
conditions. may properly call to mind the
humane advance which has been made
even in so cruel thing as war.

KANSAS INDEPENDENCE,
NOMINEES OFF TICKET
Six Withdraw to Support Candidates
of Old Parties and Petition
Siqners Are Scarce.

Topeka, Kan. Sept. 22.-Colonel Ed
S. Waterbury of Emporla is having
heaps of trouble getting an indepen-
dence party state ticket Gil the official
ballot With only two days left he is
short many signatures to his petitions,
but hopes to secure the requisite
number.
His troubles broke out in a new
place yesterday, when six of the can
didates on his proposed ticket served
notice of withdrawal. They are:
Price Sturgeon, for presidential cleo
tor; John S. Beecher, for lieutenant
governor; James H. Stevenson, for
secretary of state; Thaddeus Knox
for state treasurer; Samuel Talley, for
superintendent of education; A. w
McVey, railroad commissioner. The
| withdrawal of these six men, all OF
whom. it appears. live in Grahar1
county. leaves a gaping hole in Mr.
Waterbury's proposed ticket.
Each of the six men, with the ex
ception of ]. H. Stevenson, has an
nounced that he will support the dem
ocratic ticket. Stephenson is repub
/ lican. All six of the men were at ont
i time in the populist party.

PORTUGAL UPRISING NEAR?
Monarchical Extremists Storing Arms
to Be Ready for Attack.

Lisbon, Sept. 22.-Insistent declara-
tions that revolutionary outbreak in
Portugal is impending continue to
make their appearance in the local
newspapers, and new feature of these
reports is the statement that the mon
archical extremists, realizing that the
republicans are arming for revolt,
are making ready for their defense by
storing secretly large quantities of
arms in the converts of Lisbon, where
the authorities dare not penetrate. The
movement is said to be supported ac.
lively by the clerical party. One OF
the monarchical organs says that H.
600 persons have enlisted for the pur
pose of attacking and destroying the
Offices of republican newspapers, and
the republicans declare that if this is
done they will retaliate by starting 6
general riot and revolution.
