FRIDAY EVENING.
TOPEKA, KANSAS, OCTOBER 25, 1893.
It
TO RESIST RUSSl
War in the East is Again
Thought Probable.
Great Powers May Combine to
Oppose tier Aggression.
V ENGLAND IS EXCITED.
Situation Considered Serious
Enough for an Ultimatum.'
Several Great wUions May bo
Drawn Into a War.
London, Oct., 25. The despatch from
Shanghai ye3terday afternoon announc
ing the departure of a ueet of fifteen
Hussian war ship from Vladivostok
fur Chemulpo and Fusan, Corea, &nd the
Times' dispatch from Hong Kong an
nouncing thai Russia has obtained the
right to anchor her Heat at Port Arthur
aud con3truct railroads on the Lia Tuny
peninsula, have caused intense excite
ment in official circles here as well as
in those having commercial relations
with the far west.
The Shanghai dispatch added that the
Japanese Ueet in Formosan waters had
been recalled; that several British war
ships had been ordered to Corea and that
preparations for a struggle were visible
on ;;11 sides. '
The Hong Kong cable message to the
Times caused that paper to remark edi
torially today: "Russia caunot poss'ibly
imagiue that the great powers will view
with indifference such a destruction of
the balance ot power, which is almost
unparalleled in its audacity. Cliina's op
tion to purchase the railways is a jest
almost too cynics! to tind a place in any
serious diplomatic transaction. Under the
indicated conditions Manchuria would
practically become a lfussian province,
whiie Pekin would be within Russia's
griu."
It is admitted here that tho situation
presented is so grave that should the
news prove true it would make war in
which several nations will take part
more than probabie.
The main papers of this city all pub
lish long articles agreeing that British
intervention iu the far east is necessary.
The St. Jauies G.izette says: Even war
with Russia vvou.d not be more disas
trous than to ailow her to get such a
grip upon China. She could throttie all
the other powers and choke oil their
commerce. Unless Russia and China
give the necessary assurances, it is a cae
lor an ultimatum, and perhaps the iiinsf
seriou3 step our diplomacy has had since
the Crimean war.
The impression is general in tho offi
cial world and it is re-echoed by the
press, that neither America nor Germany
can allow the Pacific to become a
"Franco-Russian lake" as the Globe puts
it and it is generally thought the diplo
mats will be sufficiently strong to corn
biue to resist Russian aggression.
Washington, Oct. 5. The navy de
partment is giving careful attention to
the situation in Corea. The United States
has no especial interest iu the com
plication, beyond the protection of
American interests and probably under
no circumstati"es would do more than
take precautions to this end by sending
some of the ships now in Asiatic waters
to the scene iu case official advices
Bhould confirm the reports of prospective
trouble.
QUARREL OVER BAPTISM.
lir. Fee Decides fur Immersion Only and
His Congregation Protest.
Chicago, Oct. 25. A dispatch from
Richmond, Ky., says:
John G. Fee, the eminent founder ol
Berea college and for over forty years
pastjr of the church at Berea, has ten
dered his resiguatiou under rather sensa
tional circumstances.
The church is a union one tolerating
any form cf baptism, a doctrine which
Dr. Fee ha3 zealously tanght. A few
weeks ago, however, he became con
vinced that his teachings had boen
wrong and so notified his cougregation,
telling them they mu3t ba baptized ac
cording to the Campbellite faith in order
to be saved.
The members protested against this
and by a iarge majority vote decided to
adhere to their original views. This pro
duced a rupture between Dr. Fee and
hia congregation and the doctor has re
signed. FURNISHED WINCHESTERS.
American Express Co. Messengers Are
Given Kities and Revolvers.
Grand Rapids, Mich., Oct. 25. All
the messengers in the employ of the
American Express company have been
furnished Winchesters and revolvers to
resist train robbers. Under new rules
they are required, when they come in
from a trip to remove the cartridges
from their Winchesters and revolvers,
examine the guns aud ammunition, and
report the condition.
Under these rules the cartridges are
not to be replaced until they start on
their runs, when the guns will be loaded
to protect the money and valuables iu
their charge. The company also advises
its men to become proficient in rifle and
revolver practice and hints that in the
near future prizes will be awarded
to the most proficient marksmen.

ORPHANS JIOME CAR.
Judges llorton, Johnson, Edward Wilder
and Other Generous Citizens to Patron
ize It.
There is every prospect now that the
Orphans' home trolley car which is to be
run next Wednesday by "Becky Sharp"
will realize a handsome sum of money
to help make the payment on the home.
Many friends of the home have an
nounced their intention of riding upon
the car, and several generous hearted
geutiemeu have promised that they will
be willing to pay much more than the
customary nickel. ' But if the car is full
all day at a nickel per passenger a mos
handsome sum will bp realized.
The Journal believes that a project of
this kind, which costs so little to each
individual, will appeal to everyone who
luks a warm spot lor the little ones whose
parents have beeu taken from them.
Kveryouo is expected to ride in the
decorated car, and thus give themselves
.i pleasure to be remembered as well as
contribute to the . comfort -of the little
waifs at the home. Tickets will be on
sale by tomorrow-af tern-ootr, both- by the
'adies of the home, and in several con
venient down town ' places to ' be an
nounced later.
Buy as many as you can afford to and
distribute them. ....
It will not be necessary, however, to
have a ticket in order to ride on the car,
and you can pay as much as you wish for
your fare.
The advisory board of the horns, com
posed of Judge J. B. Johnson, Major
General J. W. F. HugheB, Mr. Edward
Wilder, Dr. J. P. Lewis.Major J. K. Hud
son, Dr. A. S. Embree, i:r. P. G, Noel,
Mr. O'Donald. Mr. Gage, Mr. P. I. Bone
brake, will take a ride together on the
car.
Chief Justice Divid Martin and ex
Chief Justice llorton will be passengers
together also.
The mandolin club will play "Hail to
the Chief" on this occasion. Of course
Mr. C. K. llolliday, jr., will try to be on
the car at the same time.
A souvenir ticket will be auctioned off
to the highest bidder, in ono of the most
promineut social organizations of the
city. The ticket will be a larjfe. hand
some one, containing a photograph of the
decorated car, and appropriate inscrip
tions. Governor Morrill and staff and the
state house officers will also be passen
gers in a body.
The ladies of the board of managers of
the home vtiil make another party riding
at the same time.
The car is intended also to carry regu
lar passengers to their destination and
the patronage of ail travelers between
Ivorth and South Topeka is earnestly
solicited. Children are invited to help
the unfortunate children who have no
parents, but parents or guardians are re
quested to accompany all children under
-twelve years of age. The children of the
home will be brought down during the
day and given a free ride on the car.
These will be the only deadheads of the
day. Hulder3 of passes so far as con
sulted have kindly consented to save up
their pennies to pay for a ride.
Ihe schedule of the car will be an
nounced later so that every one may
know exactly when it will pass a given
point.

Mrs.
She
sued lor $o,uoo.
It was proven that she had been con
fined to her bed for five months after she
fell through a small foot bridge over
Gunn's canal at 311 East Kious street in
North Topeka, aud physicians testified
that she might be permanently injured,
as she is still suffering, although the ac
cident occurred a year ego last Septem
ber. The whole point with the jury was
whether the city wa3 responsible for tho
structure which partially gave away
with Mrs. Greenway. The city created
the canal and since it had provided no
means of crossing, but allowed residents
on the street to use bridges of their own
construction, the jury thought it was re
sponsible for them.
E A. Wagener and Welch & Dawson
conducted Mrs. Greenway's case, while
city attorney Bird represented the city.
This will doubtless give a great im
petus to damage suits against the city.
There seems to be no way of avoiding
these suits which hava grown into a per
fect swarm, except for the city to lay all
sidewalks and culverts and thoroughly
inspect them. It would be foolish to
permit owners of property to put down
their own street pavement, and our
present custom of permitting them to put
down their own sidewalks is fully as
foolish and expensive to the city. The
city shouldjtake tho right of laying side
walks entirely away from property
owners. Or if property owners lay the
sidewalks, they should be responsible
for the damages. That's logic if it isn't
law.
OLNEY'S STRONG WORDS.

New York, Oct 25. A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Addi
tional particulars have just been ascer
tained concerning the contents-of Sec
retary Olney's note to Great Britian on
the Venezuelan matter.
It describes the history ot the Monroe
doctrine, points out the applicability of
this doctrine to the boundary dispute in
Guiana, and then declares the priuciple,
namely, that no European power shall
enlaree its territorial dominion on the
American continent by means of force.
Arbitration, he says the United States
is now, as formerly, 'willing to promots
and facilitate. But he is as emphatic as
language permits in the declaration that
any attempt to reach a settlement of the
contention by means of force would be

An Alleged Interview in Which
He is Yery Bitter.
Calls Tom Piatt the Judas of
Republican Party.
FOSTER ALSO FLAYED.
Piatt is Dangerous to Any Civ
il iz id Organization.
Senator Sherman Disavows the
Interview it is Said.
New York, Oct. 25. The Herald pub
lished a remarkable interview with
Senator Sherman, in which ex-Senator
Thomas C. Piatt and Charles Foster of
Ohio were flayed alive, so to speak. ,
The interview- purported to have taken
place at Senator Sherman's home in
Mansfield, Ohio. In the course of a talk
on the effect his book would probably
have on politics. Senator Sherman was
quoted as follows:
"The republicans usually do sensible
things. Toe party has erred iu the past;
it may do so again. But, mark you, it
will never listen to tne voice of Tom
Piatt in the council chambers again.
Piatt is the Judas Iscariot of the repub
lican party. lie is dangerous to any
civilized organization."
Senator Sherman went on to say ac
cording to tho Herald, that Piatt had
sold him (Sherman) out in the national
Republican convention of 1888, and that
the price of his treachery was the prom
ise of a cabinet portfolio made
by Benjamin Harrison. Charles
Foster received similar treatment
in the interview. Senator Sherman de
nounced him in unmeasured terms. The
senator said if he were a younger man
he would again seek the presidency,
"It is an office," the interview continu
ed, "I have longed to fill. To be the
chief magistrate of this republic has
been my dream and hope for almost a
quarter of a century."
This alleged interview created great
excitement in political circles here.
Friends of Sonator Sherman, doubting
its accuracy, telegraphed to Cincinnati
for a verification or denial. In response
came the reply that Senator Sherman
had disavowed the interview.
Ex -Senator Piatt read the Herald
story, but he would not discuss it. He
said he would make no reply to it at
least not at present.
ENGLAND AND SPAIN DEAL.
Spuin Surrenders an Itltind to England
Who Will Stop Filibuster.
Minneapolis, Oct 25. The member
of the Cuban junta now in the
northwest today declared that
there was a secret compact between
Spaiu and England which accounted for
the seizures ot filibustering expeditions
in the Bahama islands by which Spain
is to turn over the Isle de Pinos
at the southwestern end of Cuba to
England in return for England's prom
ises to prevent the fitting out of expedi
tions from her West Indian dependen
cies. The Island de Pinos would give
England an immensely valuaole naval
station commanding the oulv channel to
the Nicaruguan canal not now controlled
bv England.
He also asserts that Cuba will have a
modern navy of five vessels under com
mand of Admiral de Mello, tne Brazilian
sailor. Two ships are to come from
Brazil and one from Chiii. He admits
that an effort is soon to be made to float
an issue of $20,000,000 in Cuban bonds.
FILIBUSTERS CAUGHT.
Those Acquitted in Delaware Captured in
tho ltahama Islands.
Washington, Oct 24. It has been
due to the activity of Minister Dupuy de
Lome, the Spanish representative in
Washington, that the large band of Cu
bans, charged in Delaware with being
filibustered, have been apprehended in
one of the Bahama islands.
Brief word of the capture has already
been received neretoiore ana has now
been confirmed by official advices. Since
the acquittal at Wilmington, Del,, of the
Cubans charged with being tilibus-
terers the minister has not lost track
of the men. He received constant
reports of their movements, but took no
step toward their apprehension until
they reached one of the Bahama islands
and were under the jurisdiction of the
British authority.
The capture was effected without diffi
culty and the prisoners taken to Nassau,
where they will be tried by the British
The impression among officials here is
that the supects will be deait with by the
British authorities in a summary way.

WANT A NEW STATE.
The Formntlon of One from Minnesota,
Michigan and Wisconsin Still Agitated.
Madison, Wis- Oct. 25. In an inter
view U. C. Sloan of West Superior, a
leading man in that part of the state and
the representative of Douglas coun
ty in the last legislature de-
clared that the people of that
county desired the formation of a new
state from portions " of Minnesota,
Michigan and Wisconsin. This, he said.
they considered a better plan than the
annexation of Douglas county, Wis., to
Minnesota. .
'I don't know of a man in Superior,"
said Mr. Sloan, "who wants to have the
citv annexed to Minnesota, and I don't
suppose Duluth wants to make an uncon
ditional surrender to superior. lue
Michigan peninsula is entirely separate
from the rest of the state and has
small voice in its affairs. Geographic
ally, commercially it belongs with north
ern Wisconsin, and, with the portions of
Minnesota and Michigan with which it
would be consolidated, would form a rich
and well populated state.
"We at Superior are aoout ouu miies
from the capital and the adjoining terri
tory in Minnesota is similarly situated.
There is ample territory f or a new state,
without doing any harm to the throe from
which the territory would be taken."

TO END THEXEHTURY.
A Big Exposition Proposed for
1900 in Washington.
Centennial of the Founding: of
the Capital There.
MEETS WITH FAVOR.
Washington People Are Becom
ing Enthused Over the Project.
Is Suggested That State Exhibits
be Made Permanent.
Washington, Oct. 25. The suggestion
that a great exposition marking the close
of the present century be held in Wa sh-
ington, in the summer of 1900, is meet-
f with much favor at the capital,
Besides commemorating the close of a
century such an exposition would mark
the centennial anniversary of the found"
iug of the seat of government in the Dis"
trict of Columbia.
In June, 1800, the public offices were
transferred to Washington. On Novem
ber 22, 1800, John Adams in his speech at
the opening of congress said: "I con
gratulate the people of the United States
on the assembling of congress at the
permanent seat of their government and
congratulate you gentlemen on the
prospect of a residence not to be
changed.
"l ou will consider it as the capital of
a great nation, advancing with unex
ampled rapidity in art, in commerce, in
wealth, and in population, and possess
ing within itself resouroes which, if not
thrown away or lamentably misdirected,
will secure to it a long course of pros
perity, and self government."
Ihe house of representatives, in
answer to the above, resolved: "The final
establishment of the seat of national
government, which ha3 now taken
place, is an event of no small importance
in political transaction3 of the country.
A consideration of these powers which
have been vested in Congress over
the District of Columbia will not escape
our attention, nor will we forget that in
exercising these power?, a regard must
be had to those events which will neces
sarily attend the capital of America."
A citizen of ashiugton suggests to
the board of trade that it would bo most
fitting, as this is the caoital city, that
each state composing the union should
nave a permanent exhibition located
here, showing its resources as to agri
culture, commerce, manufacturing, trans
portation, mining, etc.
Added to tho national government ex
hibit and the individual state exhibits,
there should be exhibits of the nations
of North, Central and South America.

A Photographer's Grim Fancy.
A photographer who has pictures ot
nearly all of the famous personages in
this country has a side room next to his
studio which is known as the "death
chamber." Immediately upon arrival
of the news of the death of any famous
person his photograph goes into this
room, which is' entirely dark, the walls
being covered with crape and with the
aid of an incandescent light a person
looking through the room will first see
the face of George Washington. On
either side are pictures of the assas
sinated presidents, Lincoln and Gar
field, while the photograph of Blaine
is above and that of Grant below the
counterfeit presentments of the father
of our country. The photographer is
very proud ot his collection and person
ally escorts visitors around the room,
naming the men whose pictures are
shown. Montreal Saturday Night.
Dumas and the Dogs.
Dumas, the elder, had a dog as hos.
pitable as his master, and the dog once
invited twelve others to Monte Cristo,
Dumas' palace, named after his fam-'

wished to drive off the whole pack.
"Michael," said the great romancer,
I have a social position to sustain. It
entails a fixed amount of trouble and
expense. You say that I have thirteen
dogs and that they are eating me out
of house and home. Thirteen! What an
unlucky number!"
"Monsieur if you will permit there
is but one thing left to do. I "must drive
them all away."
'"Never, Michael!" replied Dumas.
"Never! Go at once and find me a four

HOT EXPIATED YET.
N. H. Wolff's Crimes Still Pur
sue Him.
Arrested Today On Account of
Crooked Transactions.
EXPRESS AGENT LEWIS
Wishes to Compel the Payment
of Six Hundred Dollars
Which He Had to Make Good to
the Company.
N. H. Wolff is in trouble again.
It is only a short time sines Wolff got
out of the penitentiary, and today war
rants were issued for his arrest in Jus
tice Furry's court charging him with
grand larceny and obtaining goods under
false pretenses.
This is a revival of the actions which
were commenced against Wolff by Agent
Frank Lewis, of the Pacific Express
company some time ago, but which
were suspended when Wolff was sent to
the penitentiary on account of other
crooked transactions. Mr. Lewis was
compelled to make good the losses to the
company, and he is naturally anxious to
be reimbursed.
Mr. Lewis said thi3 morning: "I am
not anxious to send Wolff to the peniten
tiary again, but I am anxious that he
should pay me what he owes me, par
ticularly since he is able to. Property
has been left the family amounting to
$15,000, and whilo they are perfectly
able to settle with me, they don't seem
disposed to do anything about it. My
ciaim is about G32. It was originally
over $700, but he made some arrange
ment with Wanamaker & Brown aud
cut it down to $632.
"The property which has been left to
the Wclff, was left by . Mrs. Wolff's
mother and includes a farm in Mission
township, ths county, which is worth
4-3,000 and in addition to that thero are
four lots in Cleveland, O. The aiiminii
trator's statement on tile in thj probate
court here shows that the estate is wortn
at least $15,01)0, and there are four heirs
entitled to a share of the property."
Wolff, who is now in the tailoring busi
ness at the corner of Seventh and liaaas
avenue, says Mr. Lewis is persecuting
him.
When seen by a Journal rero.-ter, he
said:
"This is a scheme of Frank Lewis to
get my wife's property. He has threat
ened to send ce tc the penitem Mry
gain it my wifedoesn t sign ver,all her
property. It is true mat ue naj laiiea
heir to some property. Her mother.
Mrs. Shaffer, died in Cleveland, Ohio, the
same week mv little boy was drowned.
undshe haa left us some property, but it
has to be divided between six children.
Mv wife's brother, Will E. Shaffer, is
now here from Cleveland to see about
settling up the estate.
"We offered to give JUr. .Lewis our
notes for that money and pay one note
every month, but he wants us to sign
over all our interest m the property so
that.he can sell it at auctioD, and then if
there is anything left after he gets his
money we can have tue rest.
I obiect to that and if I have any influ
ence with my wife she won't sign over
her property to any one. lt sue does
that and I should die she would not have
anything to live on.
"A man came to me yesterday and said
that Frank Lewis was going to send me
to the penitentiary again if I don't get
my wife to sign over all her property,
but I won't do it. I propose to tight it,
although I am willing to pay him that
money if he gives me time."
