Topeka. Aug. 21.-The carelessness
of two or three Kansas county
clerks has caused a bad mixup in the
official primary returns for United
States senator. in the counties where
there are more than one legislative
district.
The figures of the total vote in the
county and the total vote by legisla-
tive districts do not tally. The coun-
ty clerk figured up Bourbon county's
total vote for Republican and Demo-
cratic candidates for United States
senator, but when he got into the leg

enough votes for some of the candi-
dates. and too many for others to fit
the totals for the county. The same
thing happened in other counties.

cording to the reports received in
the capital 1870 of the 500 soldiers
died in the slaughter that followed
the insurgent victory.
When news was received by the
government that the liberals at Leon
had risen in revolt, General Cha
MORO dispatched troops to suppress
the movement and reinforce the gar.
rison of the city.
Garrison Surrendered.
The government troops, on reaching
Leon. camped on the plaza in the
center of the town. The insurgents,
who greatly ouinumbered the govern
ment force. attacked the city, and at.
ter fierce engagement the garrison
surrendered. Instead of holding their
captives prisoners of war after the
submission, it is reported that the
troops were slaughtered. Following
the repulse of the insurgents after a
four days battle at Managua, in which
the American marines and blue
jackets from the gunboat Annapolis
and from Panama played a prominent
part as defenders of the capital, the
insurgents retired, ostensiby to their
Headquarters at Masaya, the capital of

This for Mr.. G. w. Perkins.

Perkins was denounced as the ''for-
mer chief intermediary between big
business and the White House." by
Representative Stanley of Kentucky
this afternoon. Stanley attacked
Perkins, Col. Roosevelt, j. Pierpont
Morgan and several Wall Street mag
mates. Stanley said Perkins, through
the bureau of corporations, had stifled
trust busting against the steel and
harvester trusts.
Perkins, Gary and other leading
spirits in the Steel Corporation have
been absolutely at the command of the
ex-President," Stanley said. ''They
were with him in the old party and
they have staged and supported his

"For years this fantastical, ardent
partisan, Perkins, had broken through !
all restraints that deter better men.
In 1904 Perkins gave $4,000 of other
peoples money to aid his party and
his partner, Mr.. Roosevelt. He gave
his personal check and was reim-
bursed by the New York Life Insur-
ance Company. For that eminent
service he was arraigned under
charge of grand larceny"
