Railway Circles.

Wichita, Kan, July 17.-Senator
J. H. Stewart has returned from
London, England, where he has
been for the last three months, fin
ancing plans for the Yankton,
Wichita and Gulf Railroad company
in that country. Senator Stewart ac-
companied by Fremont Hill, presi-
dent of the company, left America
June /, and has been engaged in the
raising of money for the railroad
which they represent. Considering
the general reticence of the English
people in investing money, the Amer
leans feel that, while they have so
far accomplished very little in the
actual raising of money, that they
have done very well, and are satisfied
with the general start that they
have made in their work.
Mr.. Hill remained in England, but
will return to this country the latter
part of September or October. Mr..

which he expects to bring to some
general arrangement for financial
realization by early fall.
In speaking of his trip across the
water Senator Stewart said:
You ask how I found things in
England, and how I like it there,
and what is the prospect of raising
money for the North and South rail-
road. England is the biggest little
country on earth. 1t has more mon
ey and resources over there than we
conceive of, but they are very slow
to make investments. This is partly
caused by the immense number of
enterprises seeking capital and part
1y by the Inherent caution of the
Eng1ishman.
1T is said that last year English
capitalists furnished 500 million dol
lars for investments in foreign en-
terprises. This consisted of new
liza, Argentina, New Zealand, India,
China and elsewhere Besides the
railroads, amounts have been invest
ed in mining, land, rubber, coffee
plantation, diamond mine, electric
light, street railway and municipal
Waterworks companies. But you
can't get capital furnished quickly
for any enterprise The business
methods of the English people are
slow by comparison with the Ameri-
can ways. and it is much more diff
hcult to meet capitalists and confer
with them.
There is also a considera BILE scare
among people having capital, about
the proposed increase of taxes. made
necessary to raise the money to en-
large the british navy. Tho English
national policy has been to keep it's
navy 10 per cent greater than the
navy OF any other two powers COM
bined. and the taxes for this and eth
er purposes are already SO high that
the proposed style of taxation is
causing conformation"

Gleason M. Guist, Who Killed
His Uncle, Will Fight Case.
Following Arrest He Agreed to
Plead Guilty to Charge.
CONFESSED THE CRIME
Now Claims That He Shot in De-
Tense of His Own Life.
Changed His Mind When Indict-
ment Was Read in Court.

Newton. Kan, July 17.-Cleason M.
Guist, self confessed murderer of his
uncle, southwest of Burton, on the
night of June 80, was brought before
Judge Branine in the district court
here, the county attorney having pre-
viously arranged to file a charge of
second degree murder against him,
with the understanding that he plead
guilty thereto. The minimum sem
tence for this crime is ten years in the
penitentiary, and it was thought that
he might escape with this. The in
dictment was read to the prisoner.
Are you guilty or not guilty ?" ask
ed the judge.
Il killed my uncle, but in self de-
fense,'' replied the murderer.
Thinking that he did not under
stand what he was doing the indict-
ment was again read to him and the
various penalties that might be i'm
posed were explained to him, but with
no better results, as he insisted that
he acted in self defense.
Up until this time the prisoner had
not consulted a lawyer, but the stand
he took made it necessary for the
court to appoint one. After consulting
for an hour the prisoners attorney
announced that his client declined to
plead guilty and that the case
would be fought on the self defense
plea. 1t will, therefore, go over until
the November term of court.

TOOK FoRCIBLE POSSESSION.
Union Pacific Claims Right to Land
Under Grant of 1865.

Brighton, Colo, July 17.-C1aiming
that under the government grant of
1868 the railroad owns zoo feet on
each side of it's track, the Union Pa
cific railroad took forcible possession
of tract of land covered with stores
valued at $4,000 here today. A
crew of armed 1aborers built a fence
inclosing the ground in question and
for a time a clash between the towns
people and the railroad workmen
seemed imminent. If the contention
as to the 400 foot right Of way is up
held, it will apply to practically the
entire length of the Union Pacific
through several western states. Two
months ago the attorneys of the COM
pany notified those who they claimed
infringed on their right of way here
and offered to lease the land they
then occupied to them. This offer
was refused, with the result that the
railroad has taken possession. The
question to be settled hinges on the
priority of the respective homesteads
filed and the grant to the railroad by
the government.

TWO KANSAS ELKs sTRAYED.
Left Train to View Pastures and Fail
ed to Return in Time.

Albuquerque, New Mexico, July IT.
Two well groomed Kansas Elks
whose sleek sides showed that they
came from the land of 81 wheat and
plenty of rain, were found leisurely
grazing in the oasis of the local lodge
when members of the committee
turned out to meet the morning
trains.
One was F. NJ. Steel. district deputy
grand exalted ruler of the Sunf1ower
state, and the other was elem Spru-
ance, clothing merchant and exalt-
ed ruler of the lodge at Wellington,
Kan.
They arrived on train No. 1, and
becoming interested in the tender
and refreshing verdure of the local
oasis. forgot about Kansas and Los
Angeles and their train for a few
restfuI moments. When they awoke
from the seance, the rear Pullman of
No. 1 was shaking the dust of the
city in the lower yards. On board
were their tickets and their luggage.

WILL HAVE NEW STREET LIGHTS
Tungsten Lamps to Take the Place of
Old Fashioned Arcs.

Manhattan, Kan, July 1.-THE
electric light company has commenced
putting up the bracket tungsten street
lamps which will take the place of
the arc lamps all over town. There
will be four tungsten lamps to every
one arc lamp now in use which will
distribute the light over the town
much more evenly than it is distrib-
uted at present.
About a hundred bracket lamps will
be put in on the north side of town
at once. Only on Poyntz avenue apd
on few corners in the southeast cor
ner of town will the arc lamps remain
in use for the present. Some time in
the future an improved lighting
scheme will replace the arc lamp sys-
tenn on the avenue. The system of
lighting to be installed in Manhattan
is replacing the old arc lamp system
in all the more progressive towns all
over the country.
