This would seem to land the scheme
very close Jo the interior department
and the fact that Knight within a few
inimites, at any time, was able to fur-
nish the combination and kind of con-
fidential information about the whole
matter would appear to indicate that
he remained in very close contact with
the commissioner of the land office at
the time, and to this day they go hunt-
ing together, and in some way Knight,
as a land attorney, gets into important
suits in the department and his eases
are noticed to be decided puiekly and
he is apt to make a winning by genttig
the decision.
Owing to the cipher exposes made
by Speed and the work in this line the

to the conclusion that he will be ousted

longed. He had been injured in a rail-
road wreck and was taken to the hos-
pital for treatment. How he got to
j California is still a inysterv. ashiamind
is apparently a blank.
Klockson's family, when notified
that he was found, expressed great
joy. They, as well as many of his
friends, believed that he was foully
dealt with and robbed in Kansas t ity,
where he was last seen.
When Klocksou disappeared he had
about WOO of the lodge's money and
was ostensibly on his way to attend
the meeting of the grand lodge at
Leavenworth. He had large business
interests here and his family is among
the first in the city.
Klocksou is not dangerously hurt
and will be brought home as soon as
possible. Large rewards for his iden-
tification had l een offered by both
lodges.
The telegram received here said that
K lock son was penniless and was un-
able to tell what became of the money
he carried from here.
Klocksou left home one September
afternoon to attend the annual meet
ing of the Knights of Honor grand
lodge at Leavenworth. He met sev-
eral friends on the train between Fori
Scott and Kansas City, and asked om
of them which would be the best road
to take in traveling from Kansas City
to Leavenworth. He arrived in Kansas
City shortly after ft o'clock and then
strangely disappeared, no person who
knew him having seen him until he
was identified today. A thorough
search was made for him in Kansas
City, but no clew was found.
YAI.I-: WINS FROM HARVARD.
The Cabinet Retlff"* Kirltlng Scene In
llie < hauiber.
I'a his. Nov. *.16. — So aoou as the cham-
ber of deputies was ready for business
debate on the Jaurea motion was re-
sumed. After Premier Depuy and M.
lioblet had spoken, it was stated in the
lobbies that M. Yiette, minister of pub-
lic works, and M. Terrier, minister of
commerce had resigned. Later it was
reported that M. IVytral, minister of
I finance, had also resigned and it soon
tiecame known that the resignations of
all these three ministers had l een ten-
dered.
After speeches from both hidetv M.
Palletin mounted the tribune and de-
manded to know whether he had the
entire cabinet or only a portion of the
cabinet before him.
To this Premier Ihipuy replied: "The
whole cabinet i* here; you can speak
M. Ihipuv's remark was greeted with
loud cheers and also caused a violent
tumult on the part of the extreme left,
many members of the latter party de-
claring that M. IVytral had handed in
his resignation.
Thin caused M. I'alletan to exclaim
in a loud tone: ".Not having a united
•ahinet l efore me. I decline to speak.
M. I'dlletun's remark caused the left
side to break out into applause, which
was Intermixed with considerable tu-
mult.
M. Hrisson declared that the minis-
try's conduct was unconstitutional and
that it was impossible to continue the
debate. Tremendous cheering greeted
this remark and there was more tu-
mult and considerable disorder on all
sides of the chamber, after which M.
.Inures withdrew his interpellation
pending a reconstruction of the cabinet.
This caused renewed disorder, during
which it was announced that the cab-
inet had resigned ami then the cham-
ber of deputies adjourned until Mon-
ti ay.
it is believed that M. Carnot. will ask
M. Dupuy to reconstruct the cabinet.
M. .lennart is regarded as a likely suc-
.sor to M. Vcitte and it is thought
that M Hurdcau will replace M. Pey-
tral.

At least 2:1,000 people from all parts of

joy the contest. Among tliem were
llovb. Morris, of Connecticut: MeKin-

setts In tlov. McKinlev's party were
Mrs McKinley. Mr. and Mrs Osborne

Harvard side Oov, Kusse'.l walked up
the Harvard row. Kx-tiov. liulkley. of
Connecticut, and ex-Mayor Dwight. of
Hartford, were found under a big blue
banner.
Vale won the toss and took the wind,
giving the ball to Harvard. Harvard
started with the Hying wedge, the.
quarter back holding the ball and
throwing to llrewer. who made twen-
ty-five yards Harvard forced the ball
through, itn.l lirewer threw for an-
other three yards. Armstrong was
knocked out in the second throw, mak-
ing a delay of a couple of minutes.
The flying ivedge wus tried again by
Harvard and Mackie went through
for three yards. The ball was
now on Vale's fifteen yard line,
liutterworth punted for twenty
yards and Brewer got the ball by-
good interference of Newell. It was
then 011 the Vale forty yard line.
Harvard then bucked the center, sent
Wriglitington through for three yards
Wrightington was then sent around the
right end for two yards. Harvard tried
the flying wedge once more and \\ riglit-
ington went through for three more
yards, lie lost the ball and Vale caught
it. but lost the ball without any gain.
Vale got the ball agtiin, but failed to
make any advance. The next time th
ball was put in play Vale gained tiv
yards. Tlinn the game was stopped

went to the line to have the blood
sponged off his face.
When the game was resumed four
minutes Inter. Vale gained three yards,
but soon lost two on a down. The next
moment another Harvard man was laid
out, but he was soon up and at it again

fered to bet on Harvard, against !.00li,
but could get no takers.
Butterworth punted to Harvard's ten-
yard line. Ad3e got the ball and ran
three yards further toward Harvard s
goal, Brewer got the ball, but was
dowpe;| without any perceptible gain.

participated In the Home Market club
banquet. President Bent of the club
presided, senator Hoar was the first
speaker, and encouraged the members
of the club to keep up their political
work.
tiov-elect (ireenhulge spoke briefly
in favor of the protection by the gov-
ernment of every home in the country,
and declared tlint home markets were
one of the first essentials to that pro-
tection.
(Joy. McKinley, of Ohio, the guest of
honor, was accorded an ovation when
he arose. He declared that he was
present to exult over the vindication
of the principle of protection for Amer-
ica. lie declared that politics and
business were one and that capital
had been nervous recently because of
the political uncertainty as to the
action of congress on the tariff. He
declared that free trade could
not reopen mills or increase the
home production. Low tariff
would cither cause less production
or lower wages or both. He held that
if the fear of radical tariff legislation
was removed capital would pick up
courage and business prosperity would
follow. He believed that the country
had already changed its mind and was
again in favor of a protective tariff
system and that, if congress should not
take nny action the majority of the
people would approve of its course. Iu
closing, he exhorted all protectionists
to renewed exertions.
