SAYS HE IS NOT LOYAL. Jefferson City, Mo., March 19.— Governor Dockery let loose on Joe Folk to-day in a long interview de- fending himse!f against Folk’s attack on him in his Lancaster speech. He says: “From the opening of his cam- paign my purpose has been to avoid any possible action which might be construed as hurtful to any candi- date aspiring for the nomination for governor. No one knows better than Mr. Folk that there is no foundation forthe claim that he lost thesupport of St. 1 ouis in his candidacy forgov- ernor because of what be terms police interference. It is well known in St, Louis that the only votes Mr. Folk will receive from that city were secur- edas a recognition of Mr. Tony Steu- ver, the well known brewer, and not by reason of any personal following of Mr, Folk. “Heverything that has been charg- ed concerning improper conduct inci dent to the primaries fa that city were true, it would not havechanged the result in the selection of delegates to the state nominating convention, “If there have been violations of Taw or disregard of official duty in connection with the recent primaries in St. Louis or Kansas City, every ef- fort will be made by this office to bring the offenders to justice. “Mr. Folk must have known when he made this attack o e th ST mere 9 ee had tuken every possible precaution to Insure an absolutely fair primary. The plain fact remains that Mr. Folk’s defeat in the St. Louis prima- ries was not due to any regretable trouble in two or three of thewards of that city, but is the result of Mr Fo!k's failure to deal faithfully and Toyally with his party obligations. WANTS CONTROL OF THE STATE, “ltis true, an overwhelming ma- jority of the Democrats of St. Louis were against Mr. Folk in last Satur day’s primaries; and this condition would have prevailed in any county in thisetate under similar conditions Mr. Folk sought election as the Dem- oeratic nominee in 1900 for the posi- tion of circuit attorney. Two years after his election efforts were being made by the political enemies of his party to secure control of this state. A vicious attack was being made on ‘the Democratic management ofatate aire. Reckless and libelous charges were being made against the integ rity of the Democratic administra- tion. “Mr. Folk, among other Demo- erats, was requested to lend his as sistance to the support of the Demo cratic cause I personally besought ‘his support for our party, and other Wemocrats interested in party suc- wess did likewise, “Avno time during the campaign did Mr. Folk lend the slightest aid to his party. It will not do for him to hide behind his professed hostility to Mr. Butler, with whom he had beena joint candidate in the previous elec- tion, and whom he had, with appar ent loyalty, supported when himeelf @ candidate. What is true of the countieshas proven true in St. Louis AS TO KANSAS CITY. “As earnest as is my purpose tore- main absolutely impartial in con- teats between aspirante for the Dem- ocratic nomination for governor, I jaspersions upon the party or the state which it is my honor to serve.” i GENERAL GRANT SNUBS PRESIDENT. ‘Asked to Respond to Toast He Says He Does Know the Country’s Executive. Chicago, March 19 —General Fred D. Grant, commander of the Depart-, ment of the Lakes, startled the Irish Fellowship Society at its banquet to- night by snubbing the President of the United States in a'tqast assigned to him. General Grant was asked to respond to the toast, “The Presi dent.” Instead of the good words that were expected, his fellow-ban- queters heard the following: “Lean only say afew words to you to-night. In the first place, Iam not aepeechmaker; in the eecond place, because I am a soldier, the ban of silence rests upon me, In the third place, 1 do not know the President of the United States.” With these sententious romarks General Grant abruptly dismissed the subject assigned to him, and there was an awkward silence until the toastmaster came to the recue with the next toast on the pro- gramme. The toast was all the more sensa- tional because General Grant was the guest of honor at the banquet. In saying that he dare not talk because he was a soldier, he added thatevery officer of the army, and especially 8, wid Nad talked publicly, has heard from Washing: ton. There was a rustle of surprise when General Grant said he did nut know the President. Many of the bauquet- era knew that the speaker had beena Police Commissioner in New York at the same time, Theodore Roosevelt was, and General Grant had resigned the position presumably because he could not get along with the man who is now President. While there was no studied sarcaam in the inflection of General Grant’s voice, his listeners agreed his words could have no other import. DAWES COMMISSION MAY BE ABOLISHED. Fight to be Made on It When the Indian Appropriation Bill Comes Up. Washington, March 19.—Senator Long, of Kansas, has the resignation of ex-Gov. Stanley of that statefrom the Dawes commission. So far as can be ascertained, this is the only resignation that has reached Wash- ington of a member of that commis- sion, but at the interior department to day it was intimated that Com- missioner Breckenridge’s resignation was expected. This may be followed by Commissioner Needles’ resigna- tion, though nothing to indicate that such will be the case has reach- ed the department There are ru- mors of this action, however, on Mr. Needles’ part. With these three out, Mr. Bixby, chairman, would be the only remaining member of the com- mission. A fight is to be made in the Senate when the Indian appropriation bill comes up for consideration against the item for the Dawes commission, on the authority of a member of the othe Ph cannotremuin silent when my admin- istrationis the subject of grossabuse and unwarranted assault.

The whole power of the Japanese army and navy will be directed to the one object—the reduction of Port Arthur, as the first step in the plan to drive Russia out of southern Man- churia, The dispatch to-day bears out this prediction. According to a corfespondent at New Chwang, Gen. Kuropatkin has wired Lieutenant-General Stoseel that he muet hold Port Arthur as long as there.is a man to fire a gun. The Rossians are also taking guns {from the di-abled battleships in the harbor and placing.them in positions to cover Pigeon bay, the point from which the Japanese fleet 80 euccess- fully threw shells over the ridge, a distance of five to seven miles, into Port Arthur.

Cody, whose husband, known the world over as * Buffalo Bill,” has brought suit for divorce in the courts of Wyoming. The case has infinite pathos. For years Cody has been a globe-trotter, famous on every continent, hobnob- bing intimately with the royal and great, enjoying all the pleasures that fall to a popular idol, while his faith- ful wife, the mother of his children, remained at home on the Nebraska p-alries, growing old. She speaks with bitterness of the past and of the conditions which have brought about the {present es- trangements. “He wants to takea younger wile,” she says, “he is tired of me because I G. E.

Combine Against United States. New Orleans, La, March 19.— Alarmed at the growing position of the United States on the isthmus, five South American Republics—Ar- gentine, Brazil, Chile, Bolivar and Ecuador—have formed an offensive and defensive alliance against the United States, fearing that Uncle Sam contemplates absorbing the South American states. This information was brought to this port by South American passen- gers arriving to-day. It is said thatthe alliance was first projected about a year ago. Peru at that time was in the midst ofa devastating revolution and. was seriously thinking of appealing to thiscountry to establish a protector- ate over her. Not until November, 1903, was the alliance completed. It has also come to light that the South American Republics resented the United States’ aggressive attitude in the matter of Panama’s independ- ence. Argentine conceived the idea of an offensive and defensive alliance against this country. Brazil and Chile became parties to it and later brought in Bolivar and Ecuador.

The “cut” isan annual occurrence as the engineering stu- dents say that St. Patrick wasan engineer.

This was an- nounced by President Plass, who has been negotiating with Mr. Carnegie for the past two years. The sum of $40,000 will build the finest college library in Kansas, and will give Washburn a much needed enlargement of her library facilities.
