JAPAN HAS BEST NAVY.
Little Kingdom Could Defeat Russia
in a Sea Contest.
New York. March 28. If the Japanese
intend to rely largely upon their avail
able sea power in a contest with Russia,
Japan is now not only equal but superior
in force to Russia in Asiatic waters, says
the Washington correspondent of the
Times. The Russian fleet now stationed
in Asia and available for service against
Japan numbers 31 vessels, exclusive of
torpedo boats, with an aggregate ton
nage of 130,940. The Japanese fleet, ex
clusive of torpedo boats, consists of 52
vessels, of 207,903 tons. Not only does
Japan enjoy a superiority of tonnage to
the extent of nearly 77.0OO tons, but she
has some ships of very great power and
the promise of great efficiency, and she
would enter a struggle with a prestige
that would at least worry the people at
St. Petersburg. ,
Russia's fleet available at present for
service against Japan includes some
large ships, but her battleships are
smaller and older than those of Japan.
Japan's list includes about all her
navy, the fleet being stationed at home
for the most part, the cruises of vesesls
being chiefly for practice and in waters
with which it is desired to acquire great
familiarity.
Besides being much heavier than the
Russian battleships, those of Japan are
of later construction, and are much more
heavily batterled. A comparison of the
weight of projectiles to be thrown by the
respective fleets would, it is said, show
great superiority in the fleet of Japan.
As to the outcome of a naval conflict
between Russia and Japan naval officers
hesitate to predict. Russia has had no
recent naval experience worth mention
ing. Japan's war with China proved her
to be infinitely superior to China, but
only a conflict with Russia would prove
anything of the relative ability of the
two nations. While Japan's prestige is
great and would nerve the navy to des
perate conflict with Russia, naval ofii
cers say that Japan can not always ex
pect to win, and that judgment must be
deferred .until it is seen how she fights
after she has been subjected to a few
drubbings.
AN AKMYOF 50,000.
War Department Forced to Change
Plans For the Philippines.
Washington, March 27. The present
plans of the war department contem
plate the maintenance of an army of 50,
000 men in the Philippines until order has
been completely established, under the
proposed new civil government and the
garrisons can be safely reduced to a
peace footing. There are now about 65,
000 troops fh the Philippines and China,
and the original plan was to maintain
an army of 60,000 men in the Philippines
until a stable government has been es
tablished, replacing the volunteers, num
bering 25,000 with regulars to an extent
sufficient to keep all existing garrisons
throughout the archipelago, but it has
been found to be impracticable to do so
under ""existing conditions within the
short time intervening before the first
of July next, when the entire volunteer
army must be disbanded. The failure
of the plan is due to lack of available
officers in this country to organize the
new regiments authorized by congress
and not so much to the difficulty of re
cruiting the regiments.

Makes Statement About Liquor
iu Hughes Building.
Dr. A. E. McCollum, of 81S Kansas
avenue, who is authority for the state
ment that whisky was purchased in the
J. W. F. Hughes building within two
weeks, is considerably exercised because
an effort is being made to discredit his
statements. He said today:
"I was innocently drawn Into this
matter, and had no desire to take part
in any controversy, but I feel that in
Justice to myself an explanation should
be made. Mrs. Lindsay told me that if
I procured a bottle of liquor in the
Hughes building she would believe there
was a joint there, and I secured a bottle
and turned it over to her. The next day
I met Dr. S. E. Stewart on the street,
and he told me that he had no doubt
of the truth of the story, because Mr.
Vance had told him that whisky was
bought there a few days before. Vance
went to Wood and Wood told him that
if he could prove liquor was sold there
he would give him $50.
"Then Mrs. Lindsay and Dr. Stewart
waited on me and offered me $50 to make
an affidavit. I told them I would sub
mit the offer to the man who bought the
wh'if.ky and I did so but he at first re
fused. Later he consented to make he
affidavit for $50 and I so informed Mrs.
Lindsay but she refused.

REESE HABEAS CORPUS.
History of the Case and the
OpiHion of the Court.
St. Louis, March 2S. In' the courts of
appeals today a decision was handed
down sustaining the position of the
United States circuit court in the case
of John P. Reese, a member of the exec
utive committee of the United Minn
Workers of America who was imprison
ed for alleged contempt of an injunctive
order and subsequently released on a
writ of habeas corpus. The decision
which was written by Judge Allen deals
elaborately with the right3 of courts to
punish for the violaUon of restraining
orders.
Reese and others went to Kansas in
1S99 during the progress of a coal strike
and delivered speeches in behalf of the
strikers. In July, 1899, the Western Coa
and Mining company, one of the largest
concerns affected bv the strike, secured
an injunction against all members of the
mine workers union and "all others com
bining, confederating, or conspiring with
them, who are residents of the state.
After delivering a speech Reese was
arrested on the ground that he had vio
lated the injuncUon and was sentenced
to a term of six month3 In the Jail at
Fort Scott, Kan.
The case was appealed to Judge Thay
er, who ordered the discharge of Reese,
It was to pass on the merits of Judge
Thayer s ruling that the .case was referr
ed to a higher court. Judge Adams ho3 Is
that the restraining order does not nee
sarily have to apply specifically to any
person to inflict punishment for its vio
lation. He says that the mere fact that
the order cf a court is defied by those
who have knowledge of it is of itself
sufficient justification for contempt pro
ceedings.
In, the case at issue different clreum
stances are presented he held. The de
fendant was punished for violating ail
order made on behalf of private inter
ests and not because he had defied the
dignity of the court. It was not demon
strated the court further says that
Reese, in any manner had conspired or
combined to injure the property of the
complainants.
After reviewing the points involved
Judge Adams said:
"From the. foregoing it is apparen
that the offense of violating an express
restraining order issued at the suit of a
private litigant for his protection is one
thing dependent upon the actual exist
ence of such restraining order with ac
tion charged in the suit to which he is
a party by name or adequate represen
tation; and that the offense of a person
not a party to a suit in aiding or abet
ting such party to disobey, or resist a
restraining order against himself or in
dependently and intentionally thwarting
the administration of justice is another
and essentially different thing.
"The petitioner had the right accorded
him by the constitution of the land and
time honored precedents to stand upon
the accusation as made and to defend
himself aeainst the chares as made:
namely, that he had violated the injunc
tive order.
"He exercised' the right, and after being
round guilty anu imprisoned tor violating
the injunctive order, proceeded to chal
lenge the lawfulness of his restraint for
the reason that he was not a party to the
cause In wmcn tne injunction was issued
and that the court was without jurisdic
tion to call him to account lor it. '
BRYAN STANDS PAT.
His Position Is Not Affected by
Capture of Aguinaldo.
Lincoln, Neb., March 28. W. J. Bryan
gave an expression to the following to
day in discussing the capture of Agui
naldo:
"The report of the capture of Agul
naldo is apparently verified. While no
one can predict with certainty the effect
of his capture, it is possible, it may put
an end to the war for the present, but
the objection to imperialism is not re
moved by the surrender of those who
have been opposing it in the Philippines.
Imperialism is wrong because it changes
every theory of government. Wre can
not administer an empire in the Orient
and maintain a republic in America."

HEW Y.y. C.A. BUILDING
Movement on Foot to Erect One
- by Railroad Branch.
The railroad Y.' M. C. A. of Topeka has
started a movement for the erection of
a new building at this place. The large
number of railroad men who patronize
the association-and the present-cramp
ed quarters have forced the subject upon
the officers of. the organization. . Should
the bond proposition carry at the coming
election, which seems entirely probable
the association will be in need of larger
and better quarters. Secretary T. E.
Prout has had the idea in mind for
some time, and now the success of his
plans depends upon wnat step the offi
cials of the Santa Fe will take toward
aiding' him in his project of raising the
necessary money. Regarding this Seere
tary Prout said:
"The cost of building would involve
an outlay of possibly from $18,000 to $20,-
000. There is no doubt but a large part
of this amount could be raised by sub
scriptions among the railroad men.
While the Santa Fe Railroad company,
which has contributed generously to our
department, will undoubtedly do all
that is necessary on their part, as they
did at Argentine, Kan., Temple and cie
bourne, Texas."
Should another building be erected, it
will be located more conveniently for the
shop men though but little attention has
been paid to these details as yet.
The finest railroad Y. M. C. A. build
ing is at Argentine, built about two
years ago at a cost of $10,000, about half
of which the Santa Fe company contrib
uted. The proposition will probably be
submitted to the officials in a few days.
f.lAKES NO DIFFERENCE.
Agoncillo Says War Will Go On
Just the Same.
Paris,, March 28. A representative of
the Associated Press communicated to
Agoncillo, the Filipino representative, the
news of the capture of Aguinaldo. Agon
cillo, who occupies a nicely furnished
apartment in a house in a central Paris
street, apparently surrounded by every
comfort, laughed and stud:
"I do not believe it I haVe received
nothing by cable, and until I receive con
firmatory advices, I shall continue to
ignore the news.
Asked if the announcement were true,
what effect it would have on the insur
rection. Agoncillo replied emphatically:
"None, except the loss of a true patriot
and a clever general. The feeling of the
Filipino people and their determination
to fight out the struggle for independence
win remain unsnaKaoie.
"I received a cablegram only yesterday
which informed me that the Philippine
leaders have not modified their persist
ent attitude concerning the continuance
of the war. Whatever disaffections may
have taken place in favor of the Ameri
cans, the Philippine people as a whole ar
resolved to accept nothing short of in
dependence." When Agoncillo .was asked what effect
the, capture of Aguinaldo would have 01
the campaign he said a council of the
leading Filipinos would simply meet and
elect another military chief to prosecuts
the war, adding that if Aguinaldo and
his general staff were captured, many
able generals remain.
Agoncillo was asked who he though
was likely to be chosen to succeed Aguin.

jandrino might be selected, as he was a
clever military leader aaid enjoyed the
confidence of the people.
In reply to a question as to whethe
the Filipinos had enough money to con
tinue the war indefinitely, Agoncillo
smiled and replied:
"That is our affair."
BONDS ARE FORFEITED.
Sixty Go by Default in District
Court.
This morning about 60 bonds in crim
inal cases were forfeited in the district
court.
The district court adjourned for the
January term just before noon and be
fore the expiration of the term all per
sons out on bond were expected to be on
hand to renew their securities. Through
the negligence of the attorneys the bonds
were not renewed and were nominally
forfeited but by paying the costs of the
penalty and bringing the principal into
court the bonds can be renewed without
being forfeited.
BREAKS OUT ANEW.
War Is Resumed Between Ar
buckles and Sugar Trust.
Toledo, O., March 28. The Arbuckle-
Woolson coffee-sugar war has broken
out anew. Papers filed in the circuit
court here today by the Woolson Spice
company show that an agreement be-
tween the two companies was drawn
up on February 27, whereby the Woolson
company was to register the 61 shares
of Woolson stock which the Arbuckles
hold, and the Arbuckles were to be al
lowed such inspection of the Woolson
books as did not harass the Toledo con
cern.
The papers further set forth that the
Arbuckles defaulted in the agreement,
and the circuit court accordingly is
asked to set aside its recent order com
mitting the local manager of the wool
son Spice company to jail for refusing
to allow the Arbuckles to inspect the
Woolson books.
Tn the state supreme court today tne
Arbuckles -are seeking an order to have

The beautiful French, American
and English Styles in Hats will
be at home
rmay and
Not a small company but nearly
three hundred of them.
Styles are extremely picturesque. There never wa3
a season when so little excuse existed for getting an
unbecoming Hat. While most of thern are large, this is
not arbitrary there are Turbans as exquisitely beautiful
as the most fascinating Gainsborough.
Mohair seems to lerid itself most gracefully of all tho
materials to the fanciful scheme of the artist though
straw woven with silk, straw alone, and stitched silk
covered with flowers, dull foliage or chiffon are beauti
ful beyond anything we have ever seen in hats.
The essential point is comfort every hat has been
fitted on somebody's head which insures comfort to the
wearer.
Beautiful as some of the patterns are, we believe
many of the Hats trimmed by our own Milliners are
more truly artistic.
We want you to be very free; very much at home
If you see a pretty Hat that seems to strike your fancy,
stop and try it on there's no obligation to buy, there's
no obligation of any kind. We mean that no salesperson
in this whole store shall jump at you to make a sale. Of
course, inattention is the other extreme we're watching
as closely as possible against that. When you wish to
be waited upon, it shall be the salesperson's whole object
to render you full, good natured and careful service.

AFTER NEW HOMES.
Thousands Camped Along the Kiowa
Border Reservation.
El Reno, O. T-, March 28. Five thou
sand persons are camped along the bor
ders of Kiowa and Comanche reserva
tion lands awaiting permission to enter
these lands, which are to be thrown open
to settlement tnis summer.
Hundreds, and possibly thousands, of
people have arranged to put in crops in
Canadian, Blaine and Oklahoma counties
this year, expecting to secure homes in
the Wichita, Kiowa. Comanche and
Apache reservations. These are prospect
ive settlers. There are some possibly In
every county of Oklahoma and some in
southern Kansas, but farm lands are well
occupied within reach of the new border.
This condition also prevails in Texas. from
Terrall and Wichita Falls to Vernon.
This now of immigration is pouring In
mostly in wagons. Each family has a
small home for its owners on wheels,
ready to move in the fall. The opening
cannot occur later than Aueust 9. but. it
is believed, that practically the time limit
will be taken by tne department in maK
ine allotments and perfecting arrange
ments for the onenlnsr. This makes it im
perative that the settlers raise a crop on
rented land. The head of the family will
make the dash lor tne claim, leaving
others to care for the crop and Join him
later.
Of course there Is no estimating tne
number of people who will be on hand
seeking homes. All sorts of estimates are
made, but the general belief is that there
-tt-ill be n more congested condition than
at any of the previous openings. This may
be relieved ny townsites ana town iois
and there will be crowded country and
towns at the end of the hurly burly.
The Rock island road is tne only one
Vit,t will ?iiin much business from the
nw rmintrv Tts line from Kansas dry
to Fort Worth goes along the eastern bor
der and a branch is being extended west
from Chickasha to MaiiKum that will
practically serve all the new country.
