Conflicting Rumors About Short
ages in the Emporia Failure.
DID HE LEAVE A CONFESSION?

BreldeBlhal's Keaarke,
Evpohia, Kan., Nov, Sl.There In a
rumor on the streets that Is gaining
considerable credence among those
who know of the Cross balk's allure
that several days before he killed him
elf Cross wrote out a full confession
pf hie shortage and left it with a frljnd
to deliver to William Marllnditle; vice
president of the bank, It is generally
believed that Croni got away with
UIS.OOO of the bank's money, Thli
money Is said to have been taken in
two lumps, one of I60,WW and one of
0fl,0(K), for which alterations are at
leged to have boun made on th books
of the bank. It Is said that the letter
left by Cross confesses to these things
and exonerate Mr, Martlndale and
Mr, Davis, respectively vice president
and cashier of the bank.
The friends of Cross flatly deny that
there Is any such letter end suy t'mt
It Is merely an attempt to throw tits
blame of the failure of the bank on a
dead man who is not here to speak for
himself.
The Emporia Republican publishes
an editorial on this line bended, "Was
Cross Murdered?" la which it sitysi
"We believe the havoc, ro'aory

WAsiiiNOToir. Nov. Si. ExDorlments
to determine the adaptability of food
products of the United Htates to the

eon grew and matured oats, barley,
flax, potatoes and several varieties of
vegetables. lie also planted grasses
and clovera, which made considerable
growth in the comparatively short sea
son they were in the ground. The po
tatoes wore of a very desirable qual
ity, and sorna of them were brought to
this city and tested and found to be
superior in many respects to those
grown in this vicinity, Itueervatlons
of lands for future experiments were
made in the vicinity of tfitka, on Ceo

NOW A COMBINE OF QUEENS,
Wot His Iee Maker' Sake Royalty Will
Wear On'r the Used-Made I'rodnsf,
Lokiiojt, ITov. 21. Tho queen of the
Delglansl sent a letter to her sister
queens and ampresws, asking them to
form an a ,nce for the purpose of
helping the lace makers of Kuropo,
Hlie has appealed to them to forswear
wearing imitation laee and to bind
themselves to wear only hand-mode
laoe, pointing out that the ma
chine mode fabric threatens the ex
tinction of artlstlo hand-worked lac.
The number of lacemakers in llelglom

advent of laoe machinery by 4iK),009
persons. The queen's appeal met with
a ready response and the queenly alli
ance has already become a fact.

THE "UNSPSAKABLE'S" GUEST.
Casper WUllaaa's Tarklsh Vlell Crtt-
lelsed by the bake of Wwitmlatter.
Lokpoii, Nov, 21. The Duke of
Westminster has written a letter in
which be says: "After what has been
said and recorded in blue books about
the tnlsdeede of the sultan aud bis
complicity in the murder of 10J.0O0 of
bis subjects, I feel that Emperor Will
iam's acceptance of the hospitality of
a monarch who by a scries of unparal
leled crimes has placed himself outside
the pale of civilisation, must be deeply
regretted and deplored."
This letter elicited a vehement at
tack on the Duke of Westminster in
William NValdorf Astor's Pall Mall Oa
tette. Jt is known that Mr. Astor
and the duke are the reverse of
friends, owing to a squabble over the
possession of the famous visitors' book
and other personal articles which Mr,
Astor insisted were included in the
purchase of Cliveden.

Sartoaa Affair.
WasniHOTow, Nov. It. News of a
mixed character came to tha navy de
department from Admiral Dewey,
touching the situation in the Philip
pines. The admiral sent twj of liU war
ships, tha Charleston and the Concord,
some time ago to tho southward from
Manila to ascertain whether there was
troth in reports that the Insurgents
had extended their activities in that
direction. Yesterday he cabled as fob
lows)
'Charleston and Concord arrived
to-day from Hollo. Class reports that
the entire Island of l'u w is in pos
session of the insurgents, except Hollo,
which is defended by e00 Spanish
troops. All foreign cltlxens there beg
for American protection, J be island
of NegroB has declared independence
and desires American protectorate,"
Glass is tho commander of the
Charleston, bo far nothing has been
done by tha administration toward
curbing t'-e insurgents in their opera
tions, save verbal representations from
tha American commanders to Aguln
aldo, in w'tich it has been pointed out
to him that it would be good policy, In
view of the probability of the annexa
tion of the islands by the United
Htates, to pursue a course that would
not be obnoxious to the United Htates.
Uut the situation Is now realised to be
critical, ho far as tha Kpaniards are
concerned, perhaps they can be left to
take r--i of themselves, but tho for
eign res'lv-uts at Hollo are differently
regarded.
The difficulty in the situation Is that
with the bct intentions to Intervene
to protect the Europeans and olhel
foreigners and to save the city of Hollo,
tha second of importance in tha Phil
ippine group, from looting the United
folates forces appear to be stopped
under the rules of war from moving
from their positions. Buch is the con
struction placed upon the elause in the
protocol relatlnir to a suspension or

It Ib Bale to say that no annual dim

each planet in our system being likened
to a musical note, each bemg formed ia

In niule, Tb author appropriately
remarks on thla Idea: "How boMUttfol

In the Ihfht of tble infinite harmony tb

Vibration, tb antbor assert. I "th
key of tbe universe," Its three fold mani
festations on tbe spiritual mental and
physical plane working harmoniously
together, corresponding to intelligence,
lore and matter, produces th mauilea
tation called life.
Some illustrations ol tbe known law
ol vibration are given in support ol th
theory. Tb universal ether ia uot only
assumed to be tbe fountain of all matter
but also of life, and lu a chapter on
