Peace Terms Offered to Reyolu.
tionists by President Madriz
Prove Unacceptable to the In
surgent Leader.

Washington, Dec 2S.-GeneraI Es-
trada. the revolutionary leader in Mic
aragua, will not accept the extraordi-
nary terms proposed by the new presi-
dent, Madriz, as a basis for peace.
A telegram from Bluefields states
that on the 22nd instant Madriz had
proposed, in a telegram to Estrada, a
suspension of hostilities, pending the
arrival of a committee, which he was
sending to Estrada to discuss an ami
cable and equitable settlement of the
present strife. Madriz begged the revo-
lutionary leader not to obstruct his ef-
forts for peace
General Estrada, in his reply, ex-
pressed his willingness to meet the
Madriz commissioners, but said the
revolutionary party would not recog-
niZe the legislative assembly in placing
power in the hands of Madriz.
He denied most emphatically the as
sembly's right to deal with the election
of president and stated he saw i'll
Madriz the usurper of the rights of the
Nicaraguan people.
The terms upon which Madriz is will
ing to make peace. it is believed, are
shown in a letter which purports to
have been signed by him addressed to
a friend In 1t he expressed his desire
for peace without further bloodshed
and said whatever might happen COM
patible with his dignity and the public
interests he was willing to accept He
says further the revolutfonists should
recognize his government and that
after such recognition both armies
should be disbanded, all arms and am
munitions being turned over to him. He
Estates he would recognize the debts and
contracts of the revolutionists, and that

the holding of an election, he guaran-
teeing free voting.
He adds he wo,,fdA turn over such
power as he had impartially to the per-
son elected president and that he would
accept any other proper conditions. 1t
IS not doubted here that Estrada's
known astuteness would prevent him
from accepting terms of peace predi-
Gated upon the prior surrender of him

A KANSAN.
Thrashed a Bully at Peabody During
the Cowboy Days.

Peabody, Kan, Dec. 2S.-Frederic
Remington, the artist, who died SUM-
day, is well remembered by some of
Peabody's old settlers. Some say it was
here that the young man, yet tender
foot" learned some of his first lessons
in the ethics Of the west. Robert Camp
of Milwaukee, a college mate of REM
lngton at Yale, came to Peabody about
80 years ago, established the Stockmen's
bank and bought a ranch south of Pea
body. Remington soon followed and
spent two years on Camps ranch
Old timers here say that the tender
foot period in Remington's western ca
reer was of shorter duration than that
of most fasteners. This was due, they
say, to the fact that one of the first
things Remington did after coming to
Peabody was to establish his ability to
take care of himself by the use of his
fists.
THE first time I ever saw Reming-
ton,' said one of them, ''I1e rode into
town from Bob Camps ranch one day
and his attention was attracted to a
gathering of men in the middle of the
street. In the midst of the group the
town bully. was tormenting an under
sized, timid appearing man. Reming-
ton jumped out OF the saddle, handed
the reins to a bystander, pushed
through the circle of men, caught the
little man by the shoulder and said:
Are you a stranger here
'On being told that he was, he said,
I thought So. Turning to the other he
said: Now I will settle this matter
with you. Clear your decks for action.
And he thrashed the bully we'll Rem
ington proved to be an all around ath-
lete. He went from here to Montana"

GLEED ON THE STAND.
Topeka Man First Witness Called i'll
Telephone Suit.

Jefferson City, No. Dec 2S.-Charles
S. Gleed, of Topeka. Kan. president
of the Bell Telephone company of Mis-
souri,, and the Missouri & kansas Tele-
phone company, was the first witness
today in the investigation of the tele-
phone con- panies.
Attorney General Major, who institu-
ted the proceedings appeared for the
state. The telephone people were rep
resented by F. W. Lermann of st.
Louis.
Witnesses. who will be examined in
Clude Cyrus P. Walbridge of St Louis,
chairman OF the board of the Bell COM
ranies, and S. A. Hall of Kansas City
general manager of the Missouri &
Kansas Telephone company.
Mr.. Gleed testified the American
Telephone and Telegraph company of
New York owned a majority of the
stock of the Bell Telephone company
of Missouri and the Missouri and
Kansas Telephone company. The COM
panies operate in separate parts of
the state. The territory for each COM
pany was fixed, according to the wit
ness, by contracts with the owners of
the patents used by the Bell company.
Neither company operates in the
others territory. The Missouri and
Kansas company at times purchased
independent lines and except in a few
instances. the prices were reduced.
At Springfield, Mo, where an inde-
pendent company was bought out, the
prices were advanced.

JOBS GO BEGGING.
Scramble for Places as Census Enum-
orators Is Lacking.

Washington. Dec. 2S.-Applicants
are not scrambling to obtain jobs as
census enumerators, and Census Di
rector Durant is considerably per-
turbed over the shortage of men will
ing to earn government money. The
difficulty is in the far West and South
and especially in the cities. The job
of census enumerator pays so much
per name or per day, depending upon
the locality in which the work is done.
and averages about $50 per enumer
ator for the entire time required.
In cities of over 5000 inhabitants.
where population is congested and
counting is easy, the enumerator is
required to finish his work in two
weeks, but in cities under that size
and in country districts one month is
allowed.
Director Durand explains the lack
of applicants for census jobs only on
the theory that there is so much gen.
eral prosperity in the country that
the government jobs are not wanted
The time for applications for these
jobs ends on January 25, and Mr..
Durand invites public spirited and
patriotic people to join in the census
work

The President Has Begun Pre-
paratiOn of a Message
Urging Amendment Of Com
merce and Antitrust Laws.
FEDERAL LICENSES
Will Be Feature of His Reform
Plan.
To Be Subject to Voluntary
Action of Corporations.

Washington, Dec. 28.-President Taft
today began the preparation of the first
of his special messages to congress. This
message will deal with the amendments
he believes are necessary in the inter
state commerce and Sherman antitrust
acts.
Recent reports to the contrary not
withstanding it is known that the pres
ldent Will take up the antitrust act
and deal with it at great length. He
also will bring forward his ideas as to
issuing federal licenses to corporations.
The proposed license will be volun-
tary one to be taken advantage of by
such corporations as desire to place
themselves under federal jurisdiction.
1t had been reported that President
Taft might delay his antitrust recon-
Inendations until the supreme court had
finally passed on the recent Standard
Oil decision. Those to whom the presi-
dent has talked. say however. he has
decided to go forward with his pro-
gram.
The president and the members of his
cabinet, together with the interstate
commerce commissioners, have given
more thought and study to the needed
changes in the interstate commerce and
antitrust acts than to any other sub
jects since the beginning of the present
administration.
There has been a disposition among
some of the leaders of the senate and
house during the last two days to urge
the president not to send in his anti
trust message just now.
Mr. Taft is said to feel. nevertheless,
his views have been so fully expressed
that he can go ahead with his recon-
mendationS on the lines decided upon
early in the fall
The presidents message will be ready
for reading in the two houses of con-
gress on Wednesday. January 3. Con-
gress reassem bles Jan. 4, br- will i'm

Last night, while Mrs. Rup's hus-
band was absent, a negro tried to
force his way into the house. She
fired through the door twice at him
and he ran away. Telling her chill
dren she was going to summon the

LOOMS TO STAY.
Says There Is No Foundation to the
Rumor He Will Succeed Lovett.

n. H. Loomis, general attorney for
the Union Pacific railway, with head
quarters at Omaha, is here today on a
brief visit with friends in his old home
town. When asked about the reports
that he was to take Judge Lovett's
place as general attorney for all the
Hartman lines, with headquarters at
New York City, Mr.. Loomis declared
positively that there was no founda-
place at Omaha and has no particular
desire to give up his residence and
old friends in the west for a berth in
New York City.
Speaking of Judge Lovett. the new
head of the Hartman lines, Mr..
LoOmiS paid a high tribute to his new
chief Not alone to his qualities of
mind SO much as those of the heart
Judge Lovett, according to LOOMS is
a most nkab1e man, having no frills
or pretenses, but modest and COM
than a cold and naughty turn of
mind.
Mr.. Loomis, who has won such high
legal honors in his profession, will be
remembered by old Topekans as a
green boy who came to Topeka from
the short grass country fresh from
the farm and got a job as Stenogra-
pher with Judge Usher then attor-
ney for the Union Pacific. The old
judge took the boy in charge and al
lowed him to read law in his office,
afterwards admitting him to partner
ship in the firm On the death of
attorney for the Union Pacific for
Kansas. His promotion to general at
torney for the road and removal to
Omaha came only a year or SO ago.
