One long day of floating through the beautiful picturesque hill country in northwestern Maryland was all that the Coxey navy had to chronicle today in its long book. The two barges secured by Coxey for the canal trip from Cumber laud to Williamsport moved out fully loaded from the head of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal basin at noon, with Coxey in command of one and Carl Browne com manding the other from the forward deck. The trip was uneventfuL At all the locks and settlements Browne stopped to distribute his pamphlets, but there was no meeting of importance and the chief meeting of the trip is expected at Han cock on Thursday night. OMAHA STIRRED VP Over tli Action of lowa' Governor Denoaaccd by Commercial Club. Omaha, April 18. Kelly's army is Btill at the old Chautauqua grounds east of Council Bluffs and the situation is a dangerous one. The men are wet the skin and chilled to the bone and the Iowa militiamen still surround them with fixed bayonets and keep them from the shelter of the buildings. There are rumblings in the ranks of the common wealers, but discipline has thus far been maintained by the officers. There was enough food on hand for breakfast today, and that fact, perhaps, prevented an open outbreak. But some thing must happen soon to relieve the tension, or violence will be sure to folio-. Laboring men of Omaha and Council Bluffs are greatly in sympathy with the army of the industrials, and much indig nation has been expressed at the treat ment accorded the travelers by Governor Jackson of Iowa and the authorities of Council Bluffs. Meetings to express the indignation felt were called today by the Knights of Labor in both Omaha and Council Bluffs. The meeting in this city was held in front of the New York life building on Farnuni street, aid a crowd of probably 500 laboring men were on hand. Many speeches were made denuncia tory of he Iowa officials and the rail roads and offers of aid were numerous. One man declared that if something was not done at once to carry the common wealers east he favored securing re cruits in Omaha and arming them and marching them against the Iowa militia now preventing the army from capturing a train. He offered to purchase 2,000 rounds of ammunition at his own expense to arm those who might enlist. The crowd had by this time become very demon strative and the police summarily broke up the gathering. The Knights of Labor have called other meetings for tonight The Omaha Commercial dub today through its officials, made a threat to boycott the railroads that are refusing to carry the Kellyites eastward. As the result of the indignation meet ing at Council Bluffs, Gov. Jackson at noon ordered the militia to break camp at the Chautauqua grounds and return to Council Bluffs. This leaves the in dustrials free to march east on foot, or to capture a train if one comes along. MAYOR BEMH IS AJfORY. II Scores the Authorities of Iowa for the Iraatment of Commonweal. Omaha, April IS. Mayor Bemis of Omaha has issued this proclamation: "To all Citizens of Omaha I will re ceive subscriptions at my office for the purpose of providing supplies for the commonweal army, now encamped near Council Bluffs. There are about l,6O0 men of all trades and professions in this ar jcy, the large majority of whom I be lieve to be well deserving, and our citi zens should join in keeping these men from starving at our very doors." s.ooro.1 bjr Bemli. Mayor Bemis expressed himself forci bly as to the manner in which the army has been treated by the Council Bluffs people and the state authorities of Iowa. The action of the former in refusing food and shelter he characterized as less than human, and said that as they had failed to do their duty he hoped that Omaha, though not in duty bound to do so, would come to the rescue. The men, he declared were neither tramps nor criminals, but simply unfortunate fellow-beings deserv ing of sympathy and assistance. Mayor Bemis also scored the state authorities and railroads of Iowa for what he said was their shameful treatment of the army. The expense incurred by the state at the behest of the rail road and other corporations to pro tect property froji raids by law-abiding Ji TIGHT EDITION. TOPEKA, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. APRIL and honest men would, he said, have fed the men and carried them to Chicago. The treatment the men have received in Iowa, Mayor Bemis concluded, and the fact that Omaha had already done its share, should not prevent the people of this city from doing still more, and pre venting any starvation. CARL BROWSE'S "GEM." He Issues a 'General Order" in Charact eristic Tone. Orleans Roads, Va.1 April 18. The Commonweal passed its night afloat between Green Spring and Bill Bell's lock, forty miles east of Cumberland. A meeting was ad dressed at Green Spring, which was the last stopping place for the night. Browne's twenty-fourth general order was a gem of commonweal literature. The chief marshal said: "There are events in the lives of men like an oasis in a desert: green spots that can never be effaced from, the memory of man so long as reason holds its sway. The past three days of the commonweal of Christ nave been such spots, each succeeding day being more pleasant than the past, owing to the wonderful harmony existing among us, owing to your discarding a discord ant element. For the first time since leaving Massilion we left camp on time." The order referred in florid terms to the generosity of the people of Cumber land and the mayor and sheriff in partic ular. The canal voyage Browne compared to the triumphant passage of Cleo patra down the Nile to meet her Marc Antony, the only dif ference being that instead of crying slaves beneath their gilded dress, the passengers were a band of stalwart brothers pressing forwirdto the ultimate hope of freedom fn fn" political and financial tyranny as harsh as that of Egypt's dreaded queen. Jesse Coxey has been reinstated as chief of the staff in command of boat No. 2 and Roy Kirk, Brown's secretary has been appointed assistant marshal, vice Smith, deposed. It is expected that Hancock will be made by tonight and Williamsport on Thursday, which is one day ahead of schedule time. BOSTON'S ARMY. It, Will Start One Thousand. Strong on Saturday Next. Boston, April 18. It has been de cided that Boston will send her quota of unemployed to join Coxey's army, and a start will be made at noon next Satur day.

The following route has been decided upon, where stops will be made and speeches delivered: Dedham, Fall River, Providence, New London, New Haven, Bsidgeport, New York, Jersey City, Newark, .Elizabeth, New Brunswick, Trenton, Bristol, Phila delphia, Chester, Wilmington and Wash ington. AT BUFFALO. A a Industrial Lrrlon Being Recruited For Washington. Buffalo, N. Y., April 18. Buffalo will have a delegation at Washington when Coxey's commonweal gets there, but it will not be made up of men who have walked. There is a movement on foot here to organize a company of men who are in sympathy with the avowed ob ject of Coxey's army. These men will be joined by a company from Rochester, and will go to the capital by train in time to join in the protest against inter est bearing bonds and other things Coxey considers obnoxious. A man is in Rochester now recruiting the army there. The first meeting of the promoters was held last night. A number of local Knights of Labor are at the head of the movement, and they say there will be a big delegation from the two citie3. AT HARTFORD. Two Hundred Men Who Will Join the Boston Contingent. Hartford, Conn., April 18. An army of commonwealers has been formed in Connecticut and the division will be pre pared to join the New England division when the latter reaches this city. About 200 men from all parts of the state are quartered in Bloomtield awaiting the divisions at Boston, and will continue with them on the journey to Washington. AT BALTIMORE. A Bohemian Commune Com p :se tl En tirely of Tailors. Baltimore, April 18. The Bohemian commune of the army of the common weal was organized today. Sixty-four residents of Northeast Baltimore.

Between 100 and 200 are expected tomorrow. They will push forward as rapidly as possible. Golnc to Stay In Washington. Baltimore, April 18. A special to the Sua from the canal boats near Green Springs has an interview with General Coxey, outlining his intentions at Wash ington. Its purport is that the army will not disband but will permanently encamp at Washington and be maintained there until congress either adjourns or passes the legislation he desires. He is making ample preparations to stay all summer if necessary. PULLSTHE LAW. The Great Northern Company Gets an Injunction Stopping Its Striking Employes from Interfering WITH MOVING TRAINS. Former Precedents in Similar Cases Followed. Passenger Trains Stopped and Side-Tracked by Strikers. Fargo, N. D., April 18. A temporary injunction has been issued by Judge Sanborn in the United States court re turnable April 25, restraining the strikers on the Great Northern from interfering in the moving of trains. An attempt will be made to run a train from Fargo to Grand Forks under the protection of a posse of United States marshals. The Great' Northern is showing its fighting methods to be much the same as in the cases of such roads as are in the hands of the receivers. The injunction issued today restrains its striking employes from in any man ner interfering with the business of the road, or interfering with the men who want to continue at work, or who may be brought in to take the places of the strik ers. The injunction was also asked for on the ground that the strike is an interfer ence with interstate commerce. MARSHALS sESI OUT Te Enforce the Court's Injunction Against the Strikers, St. Waul, April 18. In the circuit court cj the United States for Minne sota and North Dakota, Judge Sanborn has isvaied orders enjoiug strikers and all others from interfering by threats, force or intimidation, with the business of the Great Northern or with its propsrty or employes, and the United States ruarshals sent out on today's trains large foces of deputy marshals to re ceive the orders. Nothiog will be left undone to afford adequate protection to the company's employes and its trains will be moved on its linen. The company claims that it has the as surances of the men on the different branches of its service that they are ready to move trains and discharge their duties if they, can be protected. It is reported that the interference has been from outsiders and discharged men. The company has received offers from hundreds of men who want work but has taken no steps to replace the men in its employ. Must Fight it Out. St. Paul, April 18. Chiefs Sargent of the firemen, Arthur of the engineers, were in conference for some time today with President Hill, Vice President Clingh and General Manager Case of the Great Northern. Vice President Howard, of the Amer ican Railway Union, prior to thia conference had said that a great deal depended upon it. "It will develop," he said, "whether the chiefs are with the men or with the railroad. The issue is not between the brotherhood and the union, but whether the men willliave ther pay re stored. When we find out where the due's stand, our path will be clearer.". After the conference the brotherhood chiefs would say nothing, but a reliable authority says that Arthur and Sargent gave Hill to understand that he must fight the matter out without their assistance; that they would not help or oppose the strike; but would leave it in the full charge of the union. President Debs of the American Rail way union will arrjve this afternoon. PASSENGER TRAINS STOPPED. Run On to the Side Tracks and Mixed With Box Cars. "Minneapolis, Minn.,April 18. A tele phone to the Tribune from St, Cloud, after the closing of the telegraph office at that place, says: No. 3. through passenger train going west met with the same fate as the Wil mar train last evening. After it was brought out of the depot it was side-tracked on reaching the switch, and in a short time the cars were uncoupled, the mail and other coaches being shoved down the sidetrack and mixed with box cars. The Wilmar train still remains on the track on orders of Supt. Wright and the mails have not been moved, it being the general opinion that they will be obliged to stay here. President Foster addressed the crowd at the yards stating that the mail cars were not held by the American Railway union, but if by any one, it was the Great Northern Railway company. Matters have quieted down and it is thought that the company will not attempt to run any more trains. ALL FOR BRODERICK. Delegates at Valley Falls Will Endorse His Course in Congress Unanimously. Valley Falls, April 18. Thia city to day is filled with delegates to the First district congressional convention,' all the counties send a full delegation instructed for Broderick, who will be re nominated by acclamation. Many candidates for state offices are on the ground; there is much talk concerning gubernatorial candidates apparently in favor1 of Mor rill. The only pronounced senti ment for minor positions is for Brown for secretary of state. POLES STILL RIOTING. A. Mob of TOO at Detroit Drives Laborer! Away From Work. Detroit, April 18. The trouble be tween the water board and the Polish laborers, who refuse to do piece work, or allow anyone else to do so, was renewed today. A mob of about 700 assembled ;just outaide the city limits and when the small gang appeared they drove them away with shovels and picks. Actual trouble began over the digging of trenches east of the city limits, and riot, bloodshed and death resulted. The attitude of the Poles being so threaten ing, Engineer Williams attempted to withdraw his workmen peacefully when the men suddenly rushed upon Foreman Joe Cathery and assaulted him with picks. At this time Sheriff Collins stood ad dresting one section of the mob, while Deputy Steyskal addressed another sec tipn. Suddenly there was a rush with uplifted picks and shovels and a second later the revolvers began to pop and everything was in the wildest confusion. About fifteen men were laying pipe and the crowd rushed upon them. They left the trench, fleeing for their lives. Sheriff Collins emptied his revolvers at the advancing rioters and six of the de puties who were present, followed suit. The dead are: Unknown Polk. Andrea Karnotski. Ten others are seriously cut and in jured. INDORSED BY GKOVER. A New Seigniorage Bill Which the Pres ident Approves. Washington. April 18. Mr. Bland's coinage committee met today for the first time since the silver seigniorage strug gle and were "treated to a genuine sur prise. Representative Meyer of Louis iana, was present to urge his bill for coining the seigniorage and for low in terest bonds, and he stated authorita tively that the measure had the approval and was in part suggested by Secretary Carlisle, and, in the judgment of the secretary, would be -signed by the president. To this extent the bill was regarded as an administration one, and as satisfacto rily overcoming the objections -of Mr. Cleveland's veto Ktf the Bland bilL The bill, Mr. Meyer explained, provided for the coining of the seigniorage, and. so amended the resumption act that 3 per cent bonds would in future be issued in lieu of the 4J and 5 per cent bonds. After, discussing the measure, Mr. Harter "asked: "Is it to be understood that this bill is satisfactory to the secre tary of the treasury and in his judgment will be approved by the presidentY" Mr. Meyer answered: "Yes, I can say that the bill was submitted to the secre tary and it meets his approval and in his judgment it will fully meet the views of the president and receive his signature." Mr. Dingley expressed his. surprise at this, as he said the objections of the president's veto would not be met by the low rate bonds of the Meyer bilL 3Ir. Meyer added: "I did not wish to revive the silver question if ft was likely to result in a fruitless discussion and an other veto. The bill was therefore sub mitted to Secretary Carlisle with the sug gestion that I did not wish to introduce it unless there was some assurance of its approval. "Mr. Carlisle considered it several days ago and suggested several changes. From these the present bill was framed which, in the opinion of Mr. Carlisle, will be broad enough to meet all contin gencies. lean therefore state authori tatively that it meets the approval of the secretary of the. treasury and the judg ment will be approved by the president." The measure was discussed by the committee, but no conclusion was reach ed upon it. JUDGE FOSTER COMING. Be Will Be Brought Home iu a Special Car at Once. George Sharitt, clerk of the federal court, will start tomorrow for Texas in Santa Fe special car No. 101, for the pur pose of bringing to Topeka Federal Dis trict Judge C. G. Foster.

The trip will be made through Hous ton and San Antonio to Galveston, where Judge Foster has wintered since Novem ber 16. The return will be made over the M.j K. T. There are grave doubts regarding Mr. Foster's health. Mr. Sharitt professes to be in ignorance on the subject, but other reports indicate that "no worse" is the best that can be said of his condition. VANCE'S SUCCESSOR. Be Will Be for Free Silver, Wilson Bill and Income Tax. Ralkioh, N. C, April 18. Regarding the successor to the late Senator Vance, the governor stated today that the ap pointment would probably be made next Friday and the man selected would be in sympathy with the Wilson bill, free sil ver and the income tax. Vance's Body at Raleigh. The special Richmond and Danville train bearing the remains of the late Senator Vance, was greeted by thousands of peoDle here when it rolled into the city. The body of the great statesman was turned over to the state authorities here and escorted to the capitol by the military and confederate veterans.

Speeches Heard by the Railroad Commissioners Today. LEEDY'S HOT WORDS. Semi-Political Address Made by Populist Solon, Giving: His Reasons Why Rates Should Come Down. The traffic managers and representa tives of the various railroads in Kansas are before the board of railroad com missioners today. They are here in response to a circular issued by the commissioners requesting their presence to confer relative to a re adjustment of all freight rates. The board has received numerous petitions from various parts of the state asking for lower freight rates and it ;was in response to the petitions that the roads have been asked to be represented before the board today. State Senator Leedy of Coffey county is the principal representative of the pe titioners. He is prepared to show that freight rates are disproportionately high.-Ex-Uov. Chas. Robinson has been invited by Gov. Lewelling to 'be present, and he will also appear in behalf of the peti tioners. Gen. Bradshaw of Topeka will also have something to say. Brigadier General Sears of the Kansas national guard is evincing much interest in the conference. At this morning's session many repre sentatives of the roads had failed to ar rive, and Judge Kelso of the Missouri Pacific asked that the hearing be ad journed to 2 p. m. Senator Leedy said he would not ob ject, but he opened up and made a rous ing speech against the freight rates now in force. "There is a feeling among all classes," Said he, "that freight rates are too high. Many people also complain that the companies make bet ter rates to Texas and western points than to points in Kansas. People who live on lines removed from competing points feel that they are not given a fair chance. It seems to me that, for some reason, the grain men at competing points have an inside edgo on the rate. "I tried to buy grain myself iu the lit tle town in which I live and found my self forced to sell to the grain men at the competing points. The rates were bo high 1 could not ship." Senator Leedy then took up the money question. "We have adopted a different stand ard of money," he said. "The money men tell us that it is best for us and that our dollar will purchase more, and if that ia true our dollar ought to buy more freight but there is no difference in the rate than before the new system was adopted. "The bonds of the railroad companies are made payable in gold and they are largely responsible for the condition of tinners as they now exist" He then took up the question from a j political stand point He said that all the platforms of all political parties de clared in favor of lower freight rates. At the close of Senator Leedy's speech an adjournment was taken to 2 p. m. The railroads are represented as fol lows: J. C. Lincoln, assistant general freight agent Missouri Pacific; John A. Sargent, assistant general freight agent Kansas City, Ft Scott Memphis; A. T. Drew, general freight agent M. K. &T.; E. H. Wood, assistant freight agent Union Pacific; F. N. Sedgwick, attorney for M. K. T.; N. II. Loomis, attorney for Union Pacific; Judge Kelso, attorney for Missouri Pacific; C. R. Hudson, as sistant general freight agent A. T. S. F. Afternoon Session. When the board of railroad commis sioners met at 2 p. m., Hon. Bailey P. Waggener, attorney for the Missouri Pacific, asked whether a rate schedule had been prepared by the board and whether there were any specific charges of unjust freight rates. The board then conferred and the chairman, Mr. Vincent said that the board had called the traffic managers to gether to consider the matters contained in the petitions. "As I look at these petitions," con tinued Mr. Waggener, "they appear to have all been written on the same typewriter, and no doubt by the same man. Do you know that the rail roads are not making money; that three of our large systems are in the hands of receivers, and Jby this political move ment, for that is what it is, you propose to confiscate the property of the railroad companies? You do not give us the time allowed before a justice of the peace in a $10 case, and you evidently propose to readjust the entire freight traffic in Kansas." Mr. Waggener asked under'what sec tion of the statute the investigation waa ordered, and denied the right of the railroad commissioners to act in the matter and quoted from the aet creating the board. He asked for '.thirty days i time to allow the companies to prepare. ir T .1 1. .3 1 .u A fcl' T." and Union Pacific representatives said they would require at least that much time. At the time of going to press the mat ter of a continuance is still being argued.' NEW NORMAL ADDITION. It Will Be Finished in Ninety Days Says John Buckley. John Buckley who is building the ad dition to the state normal school is con ferring with the state board of public works. He says that the brick work of the new building is almost completed and it will be ready for occupancy in about ninety dys. The board has let the contracts for furnishing desks for the recitation rooms and opera chairs for the assembly room. A Chicago firm secured the former and a Mantowack firm the latter. TWENTY-SECOND YEAR. MORRILL SPEAKS. The Aged Senator From Vermont Titlk on the Tariff Bill. Washington. April 18. In the sen ..te today the venerable Senator Morriil of Vermont, who recently celebrated his 84th birthday ani is the Nestor of the senate, was recognized and during his remarks was accorded more respectful attention than has fallen to the lot of roost of the speakers on the tariff ques tion. Iu spite of his advanced ace. he spoke clearly though evidently Buffering some what from a cold. The senator from Vermont expressed his regret that the financial and indus trial crisis had to be continued by a vain glorious and attempt to carry out the Democratic platform. He made some rather biting references to the trouble in which the Democrats found themselves over the bill and pointed out some of the items in which he thought they had com promised with their principles and pro vided for a protective tariff on such arti cles as would win votes for the bill. Concerning Kates- of Unties. "Concerning the rates of duties re ported in the tariff bill, it is no violation of the confidential relations of the sen ate committee on finance to state now they were all fixed and determined with out the votes of the Republican members and againsf even the -votes of any hesi tating or divergent minority of the Dem ocratic members. "Thus many of the most important questions may have been determined by the small fraction of three or four of a committee of eleven, but while the pro cess of evolution was a great novelty, it will not be contro verted that all the rates of duty are of the purest Democratic origin. Tariffs 'for revenue only' prove to be only political tariffs, valid only until after the election." He pointed out in detail what he con sidered the special evils to the bill, the first being theobsolete ad valorem sys tem. The purposes of the bill, lie thought, were especially destructive towards the productions of the farmer. Reciprocity arrangements which bene fit farmers are to be abrogated. The in come tax, he called an unusual blunder for even a Democratic administration to make. "The charge of an excess of revenue lately iterated against, protection is already abandoned by the party whose dominancy it is expected will eeaso March 4, 189o, but is now on a wild in come hunt for revenue to fill the vacuum to be created by a Democratic tariff." Incoms Tax Furelu Ki crese no-. In closing Senator Morrill said the policy of some suggested partisans is to hold as their enemies, all corporations, however beneticieut, as the Fiji islanders onca held Christian people, and though these fanatical partisans may love and forgive them, they really, love them lt roasted. i '-The Democratic party cry fi yc.ir has been against all internal reveeu. taxes except those on malt and spirit uaus liquors. The revolution n nv proposed it to give the lead t those taxes hitherto anathematized and so minimize customs revenue that even incidental protection shall be impossible. "Should this bill, aided by the concur rent action of the senate ever reacii the dignity of a law enacted by congress. I should profoundly regret it on account of the dire calamities with which its tariff chapters are pregnant. "Throughout the world it would also be regretted by the friends of free popular government that the great republic of the United States, though everywhere at peace, should forfeit its ancient reputation of atreasury properly supported and seldom empty and suddenly earn the poor fame of be ing unequal to the legislative task of proposing a revenue measure for the ordinary support of government without a frantic and desperate resort to an in come tax the resort only of nations which are always wrestling with lina.ii cial deficits. Surely we cannot afford to decorate the annals of our republic w ith a vile copy of this foreign excresence." SONS OF NOTED Silt EN. Mesting- of Sons Of the Kevolutloa This A fiernoon.

STATE JOtTRXATi, WEDNESDAY EVENING. APRIL 18, 1894. A PEW HELD OUT. Every Vote Against the New Quorum Eule, Was Cast Yesterday by a Per sistent Democrat. UTTER HUMILIATION. An End Forever Pat to Obstruc tive Tactics. Washington, April 18. The house yesterday, by an overwhelming vote, decided to adopt a quorum-counting rule, which, for all practical purposes, is the same which Speaker Seed of Maine inaugurated during the Fifty first congress and which won for him a world-wide reputation. Neither undue excitement nor tumultous scene marked the crushing of the old legislative barriers. Mr. Heed and the Republicans generally were in a happy humor over the victory they bad achieved. Those who expected Mr. Reed would taunt and jibe his political adversaries with their alleged inconsistency, were disappointed. Only fifteen minutes on a side were llowed for debate, and Mr. Reed, in stead of consuming that with an ar raignment of the Democrats, good naturedly distributed most of it to Democrats who desired to oppose the new rule, and when his time waa ex hausted, he jocularly asked for more time to dole out among his friends on the other side Messrs. Bryan, Cum mings, Wheeler, Kilgore and Russell being the Democrats who were thus given' an opportunity to protest against the adoption of the rule. When the vote was taken forty seven Democrats voted against it, but it secured every Republican vote and carried by a vote of 212 to 47. The Populists did not vota on the propo sition! The Democrats who voted against it were as follows: Abbott, Barnes, Black of Georgia, Bland, Breckinridge of Kentucky, Bryan, By num, Capheart, Causey, Cobb of Ala bama, Conn, Cooper of Texas, Covert, Cu mining's, Dunn, Du- borrow, English of New Jersey, Epes, Goldizer, Urady, Hall of Minnesota, Hinds, Holman, Hunter, Kilgore, Lane, Lapham, Les ter, Mallory, Martin of Indiana, Me Aleer, McKaig, McMiilin, Reilly, Rus sell of Georgia, Ryan, Stevers, Tal bott of Maryland, Tracey, Turner of Georgia, Warner, Wells,. Wheeler of Alabama, Whiting, Williams of Illi nois, Williams of Mississippi and Wise; total, 47. The adoption of this rule, taken in conjunction with the decision to en force the old law of to dock the salaries of members absent save on ac count of sickness, will, it is thought, put an end forever to parliamentary obstruction. The enforcement of that law will keep members at their post of duty and the rule will prevent them from refusing to participate in legislation when present. After the adoption of the rule it only required a few minutes to straighten out the parliamentary tangle which the house has been in for some days. A regular gorge of committee re ports, blocked by the filibustering of the last week, were presented under call of the committees. The house then on motion of Mr. McCreary, went into committee of the whole to con sider the consular and diplomatic ap propriation bill. After speeches by Mr. McCreary in support of, and Mr. Hitt, Republican, against the bill, the house at 4:40 adjourned. Senator Smith on thm Tariff. WASHtsfGTox, April 13. In the sen ate yesterday afternoon Senator Mc Laurin of Mississippi spoke in favor of the tariff bill. Senator Smith of New Jersey followed him in an earnest speech, which was devoted entirely to an attack on the income tax. He touched on the charge of treason by Minnesota Democrats, say ing: "Party ties grow weak .when they make disregard of one's own convictions and disloyalty to one's own people the test of fealty. And I do not hesitate to add that even the misrule of the Republican party is to be preferred to the communism of the Populists and Socialists. If that be the reason then self-appointed cen sors of Minnesdta do right to lay the charge at my door." At the conclu sion of Mr. Smith's speech the senate adjourned. IMON PACIFIC MATTERS. Attornr-General OloeT on tbo Govern ment's Interests. Washisgtox, April 16. The speaker yesterday laid before the house a let ter from Attorney-General Olney, re plying to the resolution asking for certain information concerning the status of Union Pacific railroad mat ters. The attorney general submits a copy of a letter from the special counsel of the government, the Hon. George Hoadley, who reports that the inter ests of tne United States in the Union Pacific railway have not been legally affected by anything- done in tha action wherein receivers of that rail way have been appointed, for the reason that the United States has not been made a party to such proceed ings. Mr. Hoadley asserts that events have confirmed his opinion that S. IL II. Clark, president of the company, and Oliver Mink, vice president and comptroller, while designated for the positions of receivers by gentlemen not especially interested in protect ing the United States, are men of such high character and great capacity that their selection cannot be regard ed with anything but satisfaction.

Kelly's Army at Council Bluffs is Scattered t By the Bain Which Falls in Torrents. WATER WAS TOO MUCH The "General" is Now Hustling: for Provisions. j, wkaha, j.ieu., April io. vtci irro ina bilities did what neither militia nor r -vt a ;t 4 a -r- courts could do scattered -Kelly's army, liare boughs offered but little shelter from a Missouri valley rain storm, and the army now knows just how much water can come from a cloud when it all comes at once. During the entire day the men clung to their camp in the timber near Park's Mill, wait ing, like Micawber, for .something to turn up. Rations were apt to be cur tailed in a few hours, for the uncer tainty of delay suggested the certain ty' of hunger. And then the rain came. It fell in torrents for a few moments and soon scattered the men in 'search of shelter. This was ex tremely scarce. The militia occupied the only buildings in the vicinity and would not allow a Kellyite to enter. As a reQ,'it the entire command was soon drenched. The shower ended, the sun came out warm and bright and the army gath ered again, mud-besmeared and be draggled, and something of a feel ing of desperation developed. General Kelly was in Omaha, where he had be erf all day, and his return to camp at nightfall waa anxiously awaited for by the men. When Kelly went back to camp he took with him $160 in cash and three wagons loaded with provisions, sub scribed by the citizens of Omaha. Shortly after Kelly's return to camp rain began to fall steadily, and it looked like the shower would continue all night. This rendered the situa tion of the men almost intolerable. Quite a sentiment has been aroused in Council Bluffs against Governor Jackson for his action in calling out the militia. The citizens angrily pro test that they have been put to un necessary expense. So far there has been no clash between the authorities and General Kel ly's men, and none is expected, Yesterday papers were prepared for an application for an order to restrain the governor and militia from further interfering with the army. The pa pers were not filed, however, as the expediency of such a move was doubted. In an interview Governor Jackson denied that the troops were called out on his motion. He said the re quest came from Sheriff Hazen of Pottawatomie county, who said he would need the militia to maintain order during the stay of the army in his county. Governor Jackson said he was not requested by the railroad companies to protect their property. COM MO N W KAI. K it S ON A BARGE. They Leave Cumberland, Aid., Singing The Battle Hymn of the Republic." Cumberland, Md., April 18. The army of the commonweal was astir at daylight, preparing for its barge trip to Williamsport. "Tooting John" White, the bugler, shrieked the reveille from the grand stand, at the edge of the ball park, just as the sun was topping the rugged moun tains on the east of the river. The men rolled out of bed, sweeping down their apology for a tent and swiftly bundling it, with bedding, into the wagons. There was scant time for a perfunctory washing before the line of march was formed, and the army plunged down into the deep canon through which the pike runs into Cumberland. The mist and shadows still hung about the towering rock walls 500 feet above, and through the cold, still air the marchers sent echoing the strains of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." Solemnity was changed to laughter as the army made its way through the town, swapping rude jests with the crowd on the sidewalks, where ull the prominent citizens of the town had turned out to bid them Godspeed. Both Carl Browne and Coxey made short farewell addresses from the canal bank before starting down stream, thanking the people for the kindness that had. been shown the army, and promising to march back over better roads thau Cumberland had ever seen, all of which was to- be the result of the bond issue which the commonweal is going to have passed by congress. The commonweal soon finished load ing up its targe. Hancock will be the first stopping place. Thence the army goes to Williamsport, where the canal will be forsaken for a six mile tramp to Hagerstown. From Hagers townthe army will continue on the route originally laid out. The army has high hopes for the remainder of the journey. DETECTIVES AMONG THEM. Washington Authorities Have Them With Coxey's Band. WashiSGTO, April 18. While the police authorities of Washington are not making known their plans in ad vance, they are laying active preparations to reeeive General Coxey and his commonweal army. Two members of the detective branch of the force, Officers Quinlan and Boyd, were sent to join the army at Cumberland .Saturday. Their busi ness will be to make the acquaintance of any criminals who may be enlisted in the ranks and to learn the true in wardness of the movement, if it con ceals any sinister designs.

I YES- The Celebrated Napoleon of Finance and Stock Operator Is Ko More. NswYobk, April IS. Henry S. Ives, who died last night in Asheville, N. C, was formerly a member of the firm of Henry S. Ives Co., which failed for 15,000,000 In August, 1887. In September, 1889, Ives was brought for trial before Recorder Smythe for over-issuing 6,000 shares of Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton stock. The jurors announced them selves unable to agree. It was believed that a new trial would be ordered, but Ives effected a compromise with his creditors at about five cents on the dollar, and got out of Ludlow street jail on March 18, 1890, after a year's incarceration. He promptly went back to Wall street, spent money freely and for a year kept the street in a state of nervousness by sending out rumors that he had secured control of this or that road. In J une, 1891, he was attacked by hemorrhages and after that got out of active business life. He appeared to have saved plenty of money from his wreck and entertained lavishly. When he married Miss Lillian Ger trude Sears, a comic opera singer, in New York, November 81, 1892, the old indictments against him had been dis missed and he declared himself at peace with the world. In February, 1893, his name ap peared in connection with a scheme to control the Cleveland, Akron Colum bus railroad, but he failed to do any thing with the plan on account of his reputation, and since then the public has heard nothing of him. MISSOURI CROP REPORT. Wheat Is Recovering and Looks Fairly Well in Moit Counties. Columbia," Mo. April 18. The bulle tin of the weather service in co-operation with the Missouri State Board of Agriculture, issued yesterday, says: During the week ending Saturday April 14, the weatUer was much more favorable for growing crops than during the week preceding, but was too cool for vegetation to make much advancement. .Wheat is recovering slowly and looks fairly well in mo3t counties. Early sown wheat suffered most from the freezing weather in March. In a few instances winter wheat has been plowed up and the ground prepared for corn. The greater portion of the oats sown early in March has been killed and resown or the ground plowed tor corn. Late sown oats are growing slowly. In the northern por tion of the state farmers have been busily engaged preparing corn ground, and some have commenced planting. In the coal and southern counties planting is well in hand. The acreage of corn will be somewhat increased. Fruit prospects are much better than they were a week ago. GREAT NORTHERN STRIKE Nearly the Entire Line Now Tied Cp Only ZOO .Miles in Operation.

This has been accomplished thus far without anything threaten ing bloodshed and the men say there Is no danger of any trouble. They are determined, however, and will allow no trains to be made up or to be moved. The last part of the system to be affected by the strike is Eastern Min nesota. The men on this branch are restless and want to strike. Illinois Municipal Elections. Chicago, April 18.

"I want no insurance agents forcing themselves upon me, sir." "I understand that perfectly, and I am no insurance aent.

The other wives may be both divorced and sold. Ireland has the greatest number of un married women between 15 and 43 of any country in Christendom. Switzerland has the greatest number of divorces as proportioned to marriages of any country in Europe 468 to 10,000.

w !i 7 t H iV OF F Senator Allen Savs the Action of Oomrress, Has Incensed tke Whole of Agriculturalists. Body EVERY MOTHER'S SON Will Be Turned Out if Senate Fiddle Faddles. r Washington, April 18'. Special. When Senator Allen began his movement in favor of fixing an early day for a vot on the tariff bill, It was supposed to bo rather an Indirect way of making an at tack upon the Democrats for their delay. A little later It was taken as meaning that the Populists would Bupport the bill if tho manag-crs would bring it to a vote in Its present shape. On this question of put ting an early end to the debate the ex tremes have met, for Senator Hill, who Is tho most strenuous opponent of every thing of a Populist nature, agrees fully with Scn&tor Allen, and among the advo cates of somo process of closure are men representing other extremes of political thought. A Kale For Closure. Senator Allen lias been saying for some time that thero is no reason under the rules why tho discussion of the bill should end before the close of this congress, as there are Rcpulbicans enough to continue, the speaking until that time and give each one about six weeks to prepare a new speech for each turn. Ho insists, however, that the trap thus set is so open an affair, meaning that it is so obviously a mere scheme to delay action, that he cannot be lieve the Democrats will submit to it. His ehort sneech on his resolution setting a date early in June was listened to with the closest attontion. Indeed no other senator is more pleasing to the galleries, for his voice is not only pleasing, but his enuncia tion so clear and strong that every syllable can be heard in the remotest corner, and. it is a pleasure to listen to him. I When ho nuulo his famous 13 hour epeoch, he remained in the senate chamber continuously, a feat of physical endurance never equaled in congress nor probably in any other deliberative body As to adopt ing a ralo for closure, however, the Demo crats f?l that they may soon be in the minority and want to practice obstructive tactics. It is true, says Senator Voorhees, i "that the Scripture tells us the net is epread in vain in the sight of any bird, and we know just what the net is spread for, but the rule allowing unlimited debate has killed more bad laws than good ones." Other senators ridicule Mr. Allen's argu ment that committees have no right to pigeonhole bills, but ought to be required to report for or aer.inst any measure sub mitted to them. They say that would de feat the main object for which committees exist namely, to kill bills and prevent the senate from being bothered with them. In the meantime, If one can trust the gen eral talk outside, the old time opposition to a senate is springing up again. A Gloomy Picture. As the month of March drew near its close there was a universal expression that the oldest inhabitants liad never seen its like for general mildness and early spring beauty. Bcf oro April was half passed there was an equally general and far more em phatic expression that it was by far the worst ever seen, and as tho days passed on, and the rain fell and was followed by snow, and the sleet rattled against the win dows the gloom outside was more than equaled by the gloom within the capitol and especially in tho hearts of Democrats and Populists. The veto of the seigniorage biU, the long delay on the Wilson bill in the sen ate, the savage attack on the administra tion by Senator Hill, the successful fili bustering by the minority in the house and a dozen other causes of discourage ment, followed by the municipal elections sweeping away nearly all the Democratic strongholds, reduced all but the mosthopc ful to a painful state of depression. It is particularly hard on members from the exclusively agricultural states of the west, whose financial interests are now suffer ing more than their political. Said one such member, speaking to a group in the reporters' gallery: i "I have been noticing thing3 forover 40 years and reading the papers all that time, and I never saw tho prospects of the farm ers as gloomy as they are right now. In that part of Ohio from which I went west the very best farms are selling for less than they would have brought 40 years ago and for a great deal less than tey were assess ed, at 23 or 30 years ago. For 13 years now there has been an almost continuous de cline in farm produce, and after careful figuring I am satisfied it will take about seven years longer for agriculture to turn itself. In that time the farmers will get out of theso lines that are so badly over done and will diversify their crops more, and tho population will grow up to the supply, but it won't do us fellows any good. If that (expletive) senate fiddle fad dles along till August, tho farmers will turn every mother's son of us out, and tho Republican majority in the northern states will be 600.000. Saltpeter won't save us. If that bill is made into a law as late as the McKinley bill was, the Republicans will carry every northern state and Dela ware, Maryland, West Virginia and North Carolina besides. You hear me?" Ono Kind of Consolation. At first hearing such talk excites a smile, but it is the opinion of many besides the speaker and men not given to gloomy views cither. Mr. Hatch, whose whole soul is wrapped up in tho idea of doing something to help the farmers, freely con cedes that a failure to act speedily will be disastrous alike to his party and the coun try, but he takes care to add that this overthrow will bo followed by worse legis lation and consoles himself that things will soon bo so desperately bad as to force a sort of fiscal and financial revolution, i How very great the pressure from the outside has become within a few days may be judged from the fact that senators here tofore extremely reticent have taken pains to state their position on the Wilson bill, and the action of members of the house in declaring what the senators from their state ought to do and must do have a pain ful resemblance to those resolutions passed by some state delegations during the John son impeachment trial, threatening sena tors with political destruction if they ''did not vote right. Senator Morgan went so far as to rise to a personal explanation and to declare thut ho would vote for the bill, and it is stated by members that other sen ators who thought it rather undignified to notice outside denunciations have private ly assured their stato delegations Uiat they .will 8unpoi$ the XHX- AFRAID ARMERS TO STOP 1TAXHINGS. tola d Representative la Ohio Intro- daces Two Bills. Columbus, 0 April 18. Representa tive Clifford, one of the colored inambers from Ouyahogo county, today will intro duce two bills which it ia believed will afford legal protection against lynching. Ihe first bill defines lynching as the killing or attempted killing by an assem blage or persons, or a person lor crime without judicial sentence, and makes participation in each an affair a crime punishable with imprisonment in the penitentiary for from five to twenty years. Being one of such an assemblage of persons, whether tak ing part in the attempt or not, to be con sidered as participating in the crime. The companion bill makes it the. duty oi the governor when a lynching occurs to direct the attorney general to go to the county where the crime was commit ted and assist the prosecuting attorney of the county in the collection of evidence and the prosecution of the case, thus taking the control of the case out of the hands of an official wno mignt De governed by local preju dice. If the attorney general believes that an impartial trial cannot be had in the county where the crime and lynching oc curred, he need only make affidavit as to his opinion and the courts must allow a change of venae. WILL THEY EXPEL HIM? Congressmen Considering the Expulsion of Breckinridge. Washington, April 18. The feeling among leading members of the house of representatives is that no action should be taken concerning the Breckinridge scandal. There ib some difference of opinion among the ve'erans of the house as to the right to pas3 on questions of morality affecting a member. One of the best lawyers in the house eaid the constitution gave ample authority. lie cited the case of Brooks, who was expelled from congress for as saulting tnaries oumner with a cane. According to another authority any wrong doing was to be passed upon by a member's constituents. So far as con gress was concerned, it was obliged to accept certificate of a member's election without going back of the returns inves tigating Ins private character. II 1 m rui me ouruen or congressional opin ion is against this view. A case in the fourth congress is cited in which Repre sentative Lvon was tried for spitting in the face of Representative Griswald, but this, like other offenses quoted, was com mitted on the floors of congress. There appears to be a dearth of precedents on offenses committed wholly outside of congress. ADM. BENHAM RETURNS. Arrives ia New York and Talks of Bra zilian Affairs. NkwIork, April 18. Admiral A. E. K. Benham, retired, lately in command of the United States fleet in Brazilian waters, arrived today by the Red "D"' line steamer Philadelphia. Admiral Benham is in fine spirits. Ue said the rebellion in Brazil could have ended in no other way, as the recent election of Aioraes was a aeatn blow to the insur gents' cause, and all De Mello could hope for was to try and hold out until next November and then endeavor to make terms with the new government. The American fleet, the admiral says, had been very free from sickness. There had been only four cases of yellow fever aboard the Newark. The admiral is un decided as to his future movements.

A telephone message to the Beacon contained the information that a covered mover's wagon drove into town from the east and put.up for the night, They had a very sick woman with them and late at night called in a local doctor, but too late to do her any good, ihe man claimed the dead woman as his wife acknowledged that he had given her a heavy dose of chloroform, but said that consumption had caused her death and he at once made arrangements to have her buried. The citizens did not like the looks of things and proceeded to investigate. They found th"at the movers were from some point in the east and were on their way to the territorv. The husband showed no disposition to talk either about the woman's death or about his former whereabouts and the names of the parties could not be learned. tier death occurred in the wagon which stood over inside the Sedgwick county line and Coroner McCollister will make a thorough examination before permit ting the outfit to proceed on their way to the territory.

A Wichita man who was ordered to pay his wife $5 ner week alimony pend ing divorce, couldn't pay and was locked up in jail, so the woman is just as well pleased. Tramps who strike Hutchinson get such an abundance of things to eat that people go out to their camping place and (rather up the scraps for their pigs and chickens. Emporia young men wha won't do the proper thing and go to church with the girls, linger around until the service is over. So after all they have to "wait on the Lord." The Citizen thinks the assessment of Fredonia real estate will be about as hard a job as any trustee ever tackled. After he takes half the valuation he will have to work in minus quantities. The Muscotah delegation of nine men to the Atchison county Republican con vention all went to church the night be fore the meeting. For some reason they seem to have wanted to avoid the politi cians. One of the merchants at Madison has oilered two dollars and a half in gold for the best adder in the book-keeping class of the public schools. The pupil that can multiply up into the 12s doesn't have a show at all.' The Emporia College Life has been devoting about two columns a week to the question, "What is Plagiarism?" It seems useless to define when one can hear, but perhaps the editors didn't at tend the state contest. It appears, if the dispatches from Council Bluffs are correct, that Governor Jackson of Iowa, did a singularly un popular thing in calling out the militia to meet the so-called "industrial army," headed by Commander Kelly. It seems that Kelly's men are not tramps in the ordinary sense of the term. They are mechanics and laboring men out of work. They were received cordially at Omaha by 50,000 people, given plenty of food and sent on their way rejoicing. If they can be sent east, where they can se cure work, so much the better for them and so much the better for the west. Why Governor Jackson should insist on corralling them at Council Bluffs and making them stay there to become a bur den on the citizens of histwn state is past comprehension.' NOT SO BAD" A3 IT LOOKS. This paper today prints the annual re port of the city treasurer for the year ending April Tat. The report develops the rather startling fact that the disburse ments for the year exceeded the receipts by fG6,608.53. This apparent deficiency ia covered, however, by a balance on hand at the first of last year amounting in round numbers to $200,000, so. that the sum on hand at the commencement of the pres ent fiscal year is merely reduced $68,000. The cause of the deficiency ia not shown by the treasurer's report, but it will be explained at least in part ia the incompleted annual report of City Clerk McFaddeu. .It ia estimated that the city has received $40,000 less this year to pay its running expenses than a year ago. The abolition of the poll-tax is responsi ble for about $10,000 of this. The re mainder of the amount which would have been paid into the. various city funds by the county treasurer, has not been paid largely on account of two acts of the last legislature relating to taxes: one doing away with the March penalty, and the other reducing the rate of interest on tax sale certificates from 21 to 15 per cent. The latter act makes the certifi cate an undesirable security to those who have held them, on the ground that they can make better use of their money elsewhere. Apprehending such a showing at the end of the fiscal year, the mayor and council early last fall began measures of retrenchment to reduce the deficit be tween receipts and expenditures. These measures have been only slightly relaxed since, and to this retrenchment is no doubt due the fact that the deficit is not doubly large. This abnormal shortage, however, teaches those controlling the strings of the city purse that strict econ omy the year round ia more desirable and accompanied by better results than a maximum of "retrenchment" in a mini mum' of time. The city has not the money at its disposal it use,d to have, and hopes to have again sometime, but an ex ercise of good business sense will obtain the results the taxpayers demand and the city desires. While there is probably no irreparable harm done by this year's shortage, the city administration we are sure, will profit by the experience and score another kind of showing another spring. WE NEED A UNION DEPOT. Following the announcement that the Burlington and the Alton have hopes of reaching Topeka soon, comes the thought that Topeka needs a union depot. There is no convenience to the present system here, and nearly every citizen of the city can testify to it from personal experience. The objections are too numerous for enumeration, but they are mention ed so often in private and on the street, that no citizen can say they do not exist. It ia a fact then that there is a demand from the public for a union de pot at Topeka. '1 he location is of second ary importance of course, but it is sug gested that the least troublesome to es tablish would be in the locality of the present Rock Island passenger depot. This would make it central for both the public and the railroads. The Santa Fe, the Rock Island and the Missouri Pacific could reach this point easier than any other and the Union Pacific has the choice of two railroad bridges on which to make arrangements to cross the river. The railroads themselves would be as much benefited as anyone probably, and if the demand was rightly presented to the officials by the public they would perhaps be glad to take the matter under advisement. Smaller towns than Topeka have union depots and they secured them through the united elforts of their citi zens. Let the idea expand. SUPPRESSING NEWS. The trouble at the city prison was prompted by no one on the outside. The management ia perhaps not unlike the preceding one, but it remains as a fact that then mutinies and strikes were sel dom heard of. Then the newspapers were given unlimited latitude and a re porter was never refused permission to talk to a prisoner. Now the reporter is looked upon as an aggressor and is not permitted either to speak to the prisoners or see the jail book. The management may be all right, but why such precautious to keep the public posted only on one side of the story? A man ia not a brute because he ia confined in the city prison. It ia understood that in no other jail under the sun are such unfair regulations made. Every day one reads of interviews with prisoners. Re porters are given frequent access to Prendergast. In thia city those confined in the county jail are allowed to talk to reporters who ask to see them. PANIC ATA FAIR. Church Tower Falls Into the Market Place at PradUch, Moravia. Cracow, April 18. A fire at Pradisch, Moravia, destroyed the ladies' school, the hotel, Franciscan monastery and the church tower, which fell into the market place. The annual market was being held at Pradisch at the time and consequently large numbers of people were present at the conflagration in addition to the regu lar inhabitants. The fall of the church tower caused a panic during which a number of people were injured by being trampled upon. No loss of life is re ported.

WEALTH WEDS BEAUTY. And Mew Cork Go-sIp Are Surprised by the Old. Old Story. Howard Gould ia to follow in the foot steps of hi a brother George and marry an actress. The authorized announce ment of his engagement to Miss Odette Tyler, a member of a well known the atrical company, was one of the recent nine daya' wonders in New York social and theatrical circles, and now the gos sips are on the tiptoe of expectancy in regard to the wedding. Thia will prob ably not occur until after the 1st of June, for Miss Tyler's contract with her theatrical manager- does not expire till then, and she has signified her intention of completing that engagement first. Miss Tyler belongs to a good Tennes see family and was born in Nashville. Her father is General W. W. Kirtland, a member of the Southern society of New York, and she is the granddaugh ter of General Hardee, the author of Hardee's "Military Tactics. Miss Ty- iiJr"r- HOWARD GOULD AND MISS TYLER. ler began her career on the stage in "Featherbrain" seven years ago and has played successfully ever since. Her greatest hit was made in "The Coun cilor's Wife," in which she played the title role. Miss Tyler was formerly the wife of Edgar P. Crissman, now a clerk in the New York custom house, but aft er two years of married life she secured a divorce on statutory grounds. Howard Gould is the third son of Jay Gould and was born in New York city in 1871." He was educated at a well known private school in New York and studied for a year at Columbia college, but did not like it and left to go into his father's office three yeara ago. Ha is now a director in the principal Gould companies and is said to have won the kindly regard of his older and more ex perienced business associates. He lives as Tarrytown and is one of the execu tors' and trustees of his father's estate, the others being George J., Edwin and Helen M. Gould. Jay Gould's will provided that his es tate, after certain specific bequests had been deducted, should be-' divided into six equal parts, each of the six children to receive the income cf one of these parts for life, with power to dispose of th9 share by will. The amount to be thus divided was about $66,000,000, so that each of Mr. Gould's children re ceives the income of at least $11,000, 003. There is a provision in the will that in case any of the children shall marry without the consent of a majority of the executors and trustees the share of such child shall be reduced one-half.

MsnoloKtoD Caffyn Has Taken the English. Reading Publio by Storm. "A Yellow Aster" is the most nota bly successful among the English novels of recent date, and the sensation it has created ia said to have disturbed the truimphai progress of "The Heavenly Twins," a book that has sold more copies to the week than any fiction print ed in a long time. "A Yellow As ter" is a most pe culiar book, with a distinctive pur pose, but it ia quite a3 charm ing as if it were written only to MRS. CAFFYN. be entertaining. It is the strange story of a beautiful girl trained by scientific parents in a scientific way, without any idea of religious belief except as a mat ter of historical study, and without any sense of human affection, even for her parents. Ita purpose is to protest' against loveless marriages, and its author has expressed the hope that it may open the eye3 of mothers and daughters to the enormity of such alliances. The identity of the author of the bock was veiled for awhile by her pen name, "Iota," but when the success of her Work was assured she let it be known that she was Mrs. Mannington Caffyn, the wife of a London physician. She is an Irish woman of good birth, her par ents coming of old families. On the fa ther's side she is related to the De Veres, but otherwise the family is without note worthy literary connections. Nor was Mrs. Caffyn's early training especially adapted to encourage a liter ary bent. She was educated entirely at home, all her early years being spent in the country, where she followed the hounds with her father and joined him on his shooting expeditions. When a 6tepmother appeared upon the scene, the young woman left home to study hos pital nursing, and while engaged in thi3 laudable work she met and married Dr. Mannington Caffyn. The husband soon fell ill, and they were forced to seek the Australian fclimate, and in that far re gion he regained his health. It was in the bush thnfe a large part of "A Yellow Aster" was written. FATHER OF WHALEBACK. Alexander McUoneall'i Career Full of En couragement For Young Men. The career of Captain Alexander Mo Dongall, the inventor of the whaleback steamer and founder and general man ager of the largest shipbuilding concern in America today, is full of interest and encouragement for the youth of the country, re-enforcing the old lessons about the victory of him who perseveres in the face of the most discouraging cir cumstances. After he had conceived the idea of the whaleback and convinced himself of its usefulness and practica bility, Captain McDougall kept working along quietly in spite of the incredulity and ridicule of the nnappreciative. mak ing model after model, each of which in volved improvements on those that had preceded it, until finally one was made that convinced capitalists there was a reasonable hope of profit in the idea. With capital interested, success was as sured. The American Steel Barge com pany was formed, with Colgate Hoyt as president and Captain McDougall in charge of the yards at West Superior, Wis., where 83 large vessels of the whaleback type have been built, besides any number of smaller craft. The com pany has now upward of $5,000,O-) in- r V.' CAPTAIN ALEXANDER M'DOCOAIL, vested in vessels, with a total tonnage of 47,350. It has branch yards in Europe and on the Pacific coast, and everything looks as if Captain McDougall's whale backs had a future before them. Captain McDougall is a man of strong character and individuality and impress es strangers with the idea that he is a plain, blunt Scotchman, but his friends say that he is modest, confiding and sympathetic. He is 50 years of age and waa born in the little village of Port El len, on the island of Islay, off the west coast of Scotland. His mind always had an inventive bent, and it is a significant fact that as a child he was constantly whittling out miniature vessels and sail ing them in the inlets of the sea. The captain's parents brought their family to America while he was a boy and settled in Canada. He took to sail oring on the great lakes very early in life, making his first trip as porter on a steamer that sailed between Buffalo and Chicago. He first obtained his title of captain when in command of the steamer A. Scott, which was wrecked on Lake Erie many years ago. April Ad.

STATE JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL. IS, 1S94. 3 IT MIGHT BE WORSE. AFira Started in the Statehouse But Was Put Out. SEYER&L PARDQS3 ARE GIVEN OUT aiaklas uy ple Htppy-Sw Crpormtlas wd tner (tehouie Matter. A fire started in the east wing of the Statehouse this morning about o'clock. It originated in a closet under the stair way In the weat end of the wing, which had been used for storing away rags and old papers. By the prompt action of Henry Wilton the fire was put out with out serious damage. The closet is a place where cast off articles are thrown. Some of the state house attaches hold that the blaze was occasioned by spontaneous combustion while others think that a lighted match must have been thrown into the place by some one. When John Falls of the state library first discovered that something was wrong the smoke was coming out of every crevice ana wnen me uoor as opened the air fanned the blaze and it looked quite serious. If the tire had started in the night it is probable that the entire state house would have burned. ELK WELL GOES FREE. A Daughter's Labors to Get Her Father Oat or the Penitentiary. Last evening Governor Lewelling eicned the papers which gave to O. J Burwell his freedom after two years Of service in the penitentiary. The pardon was secured only by the persistent faithfulness ot a daughter Miss Emma Burwell, who is eighteen years old. Burwell comes from Lenora, Norton county. He is a man nearly sixty years old. He seems to have been the victim of bad sons. Wm. Burwell and Jim Burwell, in company with another man entered an express car on the Union Pacific ana carri ed off the safe. They concealed it on their father's place and secured its contents, $2,200 and hid the money in the house of their father. The money was found and the old man arrested. Jim Burwell es caped and William Burwell pleaded guilty and got a two year's sentence. The father was arraigned on the ground of criminal knowledge and was con victed and sentenced to five years In the penitentiary. The boys were members of the Belmont gang of horsethieves, somewhat famed in their neighborhood, but the father had borne a good reputa tion. They were well oil financially but the money was all spent in the trial and car rying the case to the supreme court. The case was decided there against Burwell. Then the girl Emma started out with a petition, blie secured about 500 names and by taking in washing and working by the week, managed to save a little money. She mortgaged a team and raised her fund $20. She came here accompanied by an eld erly farmer. E. H. Darnell, and presented her case to the board. Her plea was successful. MILITARY MHCONDCCT. C. Rilbagrh Fired By Military Zeal ana Ao Fired By General Davit. C. Radab:iugh is a martial citizen of Newton. When he became fired by mil itary zeal he enlisted in Co. D, Second regiment Kansas National Guards. In time the discipline of the service became odious to him, and he failed to attend when called, and paid little attention to the duties appertaining to a soldier's life. He was remonstrated with by the officers, but was still derelict in duty. A company court of discipline was convoked, and Privte Kadabaugh was regularly tried. He was convicted of neglect of duty, and sentenced to be dis honorably discharged. Adjutant Gene ral Davis has just issued the papers that place Radabangh on the retired list. Honorable discharges were granted to Corporal H. B. Stewart and Private A. L. Egy, of the same company. SEW CORPORATIONS. Charter Secured for Corporations for Marions rorpotia.

Be Got Into the Penitentiary For a Fl-ht Over a Debt. The friends of Wiley Neville want him released from the penitentiary. He was given one year for felonious assault and has only served a little more than a month of his time. A voluminous protest ha been filed and Wiley will undoubtedly have to serve out his time. The story of the trouble sounds as if it was only an ordi nary fight. Neville and a man named Murphy got into a quarrel over a debt and Murphy was etruck oa the head with a stone. He was not seriously hurt but that did not prevent Neville's con viction. EMMA RELEXIi, She Sent Her Lover to the Penitentiary Sow She Want Him Out. Emma Jantzenof Kansas City, Kan., appeared before the board of pardons late yesterday afternoon. She wants Joseph McLane released from the -penitentiary. She and 31c Lain had been lovers.

The case against Cameron Miller and Earnest Dannwas set for hearing in Jus tice Furry' court today at 3 o'clock. The lawyers for the defense, W. A. S. Bird, J. B. Larimer and T. H. Bain, were not ready for trial, however, and the case was given another long continuance of something less than three weeks. Justice Furry explains that there is in reality no delay in the continuances which are being granted in the case. All that can be done by a justice of the peace in the case is to bind the young men over to the district court, if there is sufficient evidence of guilt to warrant it. The case can't be tried in the district court before the September term. There is plenty of time, the justice thinks, and the delay might as well occur in his court as in the district court. PEXqUITE TELLS TALES. Meets Harry Sifford on a Train and Glvea Hlin Pointers. County Attorney Harry Safford was on an east' bound train a few days ago when a familiar figure entered his car from the smoker and took a seat beside him. Mr. Satford did not recognize the young man at hrst but soon learned that he was Ed. Penqnite, who has just finished a six months sentence In the county jail for stealing a set of surgical itstruments from Dr. MUnn during fair week. Pen quite was on his way to Hot Springs. Penquite grew confidential in course of a vigorous friendly cross-examination and told the county attorney considerable inside history of criminal cases which are still pending or have been lately set tled in the district court. He said that most of the offenders fixed up" their defences in jail and some of the other prisoners helped them. Penquite said that N. IL Wolffs story to the effect that he had" given his wife $200 to put in the bank, and for that reason thought he had money at the time the fradulent checks were drawn, was manufactured in his presence. Concerning his own case Penquite said he wasn't as guilty as his pal who 'peached" on him, but admitted that he was '-tnixd up in it," and said he had no complaint to make. He told the county attorney about many other cases and said only one guilty man had escaped. He was the man who tried to break into a Rock Island car. IX 3IR. TROUTMAN'S FATOR. Judge Btlen Decide Foreclosure Case of Abble sblpley Vi. James Troutman. The district court jury has decided the interesting foreclosure case of Abbie Shipley vs. James A. Troutman, eL al., in favor of Mr. Troutman. In this case in which some North Topeka property was in question, the suit was first brought in the circuit court but after Mr. Troutman had suc ceeded in delaying the case by a number of motions and demurrers, Attorney Welch, who had Mrs. Shipley's side of the case, paid up all the costs and took the case to the district court. One or two continuances were secured in the district court when Mr. Welch suggested that the case be submitted for the decision of the court on the argu ment Judge Hazen took it under ad visement for a week and at the end of the week refused to decide it on the facts sub mitted and said it must be tried by a jury. It has now been tried before a jury and much to the chagrin of the at torney who paid the costs in the circuit court the decision is against him. THEY STICK TO IT. Prhoneri At the City Jail Rsnew Their Charges Concerning the Food. To the Editor of the State Journal. Sift: In reply to the article of Mr. Long in last evening's Journal we wish to state that after having spent ten days in the city prison and being compelled to eat three times a day of the food that he provided, we consider ourselves, under the circumstances, quite as good a judge of the meat that he served as Mr. Long, or his butcher or his kitchen help, and we wish to say that the meat, especially the liver was spoiled, and the coffee that he served was not coffee but a composi tion of chicory and hot water. We don't write this article with the expectation of having to eat any more of Mr. Long's 12J- cent meals, but merely for the sake of tnose who are unfortunate enough to be compelled to do so. Lee Curtis, W. L. Wkbb. ABOUT A DOG. A Quarrel Between Residents of Park dale Result, in An Arrest. The name of John Nelson appeared on the police register with a charge of disturbing the peace. The complaining witness is Mrs. Florence Neugetauer. Both are residents of Parkdaie. The difficulty occurred over an insig nificant mongrel pup. It was claimed by both parties, and Nelson found it in Mrs. Neugebauer's yard. He at once pro ceeded to take possession, but the lady objected. That made no difference, and Nelson carried off the dog. Before he did so, Mrs. Neugebauer says he called her names. She forthwith appeared at the police station, and swore out a warrant for Nel son's arrest. He will be tried in police court tomorrow. LOCAL MENTION. Born, to Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Brussel, an eight pound boy. The jury commissioners of Shawnee County, J. G. Howard. A. M. McRoberts and C S. Stanley, are now preparing the list from which the jurors for the dis trict and circuit courts will be drawn during the remainder of the year. A Washburn college car northbound ran into a buggy today on Kansas ave nue between Fourth and Fifth streets. The accident was probably due to the woman who was driving. One of the wheels of the vehicle was smashed. A horse belonging to Wm. Schlegel, bitched to a light buggy ran away on west Sixth street this morning. The driver a colored boy named Tom Ruck er, was thrown cut but was -not seriously hurt.

'Do you think that irrigation can be made a universal Buccesa and what do you consider the best plan?" said a Jour nal reporter to Mr. F. D. Coburn, secre tary of the state board of agriculture to day. "If by 'universal success' is meant the thorough irrigation of all or even one half the land comprising what was form erly known as the plains,' I answer no; but this by no means implies that it will not become a tremendous factor in the agriculture of western Kansas and event ually in that of the entire state, when those who come after us shall be educa ted up to the value and business economy of it. Then the state will be supporting a population ten or twenty times greater than we now have and the slipshod, wasteful, unbusiness-like methods so complacently tolerated in our day will not do. "We are certainly on the threshhold of great development In irrigation and if in the next decade or two we find the ways and means to put water on an average of so much as ten acres of each agricul tural quarter section it will mean crops, comfort and competence. Whatever of real success comes out of this new de parture, will be the outgrowth of small beginnings and individual effort a grad ual finding out of what is best in this or that locality and the conditions locally prevailing as to water supply, etc. An important feature of all this will be the conservation, storage and proper use of the storm water, so much of which la now worse than wasted. "I scarcely see how Congress, when fully advised as to the facts, can ignore the people to whom these semi-arid lands have been disposed of, and fail to do the fair thing in the way of helping make 6uch investigations as will discover where the water is, the probable quantity, and the best methods of storing and distribu tion. Having spent so many millions in keeping water off the low lands in the Southern States there is certainly a pro priety in using some for helping discover how much water may be put on lands where it would do so much trood as it can in some portions of Kansas. CITIZENS, COME OUT. Call For the Meeting of the North Topeka Commercial Club. Citizens and business men of Topeka who have an interest in the upbuilding of the best tnd prettiest city in the United States, that desire and wish for better times, should not fail to attend the meeting of the North Topeka Commer cial club at fire station No. 1, next Fri day evening at 7:30 o'clock (April 20th).

Harry Chapman of Amnrlcaa Railway Cnion on the Great Northern Strike. "1 see by the Journal that there is as yet no cessation of antagonism between the Great N orthern and its late em ployes," said Harry Chapman, Chairman of the local board of the American Rail way union, who probably knows as much about American Railway union affairs as any other one man in Kansas, last even ing, "it seems to me that this is not a very good time to strike. Railroads as a rule are not making as much money as an uninformed man would suppose," and the northern railroads in particular are not in such' a gloriously healthy condi tion. They feel then that it behooves them to cut down their enormous ex pense in some way. The natural ques tion then arises, shall the road retain say nine-tenths of its men at the unimpaired schedule or retain them all at a reduc tion. I am a member of the American Railway union which furthered their strike and I am of course in sympathy with any move it may make looking to an improved condition of organized labor, but in the face of the financial stringency such as now exists I believe men should be slow to strike. "Laboring men must' work to live 01 be supported by their brothers of the union. Is it cheaper then to strike now when it is so doubtful if the road can pay its present schedule to ail its men or accept even a slight reduction until better times and keep all hands at work? I believe as do all other workmen in good wages whenever they can be paid, and in the best possible wages at all times. The Great Northern strike is right in this particular: The reduction proposed is out of reason, and it seems to me that after a cool conference between the offi cials and the men, a reasonable compro mise will result."

During the fiscal vear which ended April 1st, the city of Topeka spent $66,- 6OS.00 more than It received. The annual report of the city treasurer which has just been compiled by Deputy Treasurer L. G. Beal, shows this shortage; the disbursements for the year were 400.S48.S0, while the receipts from all sources were only $334,239.75. This deficit, it is only just to say, is due more to circumstances than mismanage ment and is not as alarming as might ap pear at first sight. It is amply covered by a balance on hand at the first of April, 1893, of $193,946.01, leaving a balance in the various funds at the first of this year of only $127,337.46. The cause of this deficiency, briefly stated, is that the city did' not have as much available-revenue-at its disposal this year as last, due to the abolition of the poll tax and the passage of laws by the last legislature providing for more leniency in cases of delayed payment of taxes. It is estimated that the city has been deprived of about $40,000 from these causes. This is the explanation given by the city officers. Moreover the city paid out over $10,000 from the old funds of sewers 11 and 12 to the creditors of Decker, Mullins Berry. This money has been idle in the treasury for five years, but its disbursment helps to make the unfavorable showing. The report shows that the receipts in addition to money received from the county treasurer for taxes, are divided as follows: Bank interest....... ...$2,579 93 Food inspector 8,143 16 Dog tax 1,093 00 Sale engine and cart 125 00 Sale of junk 116 26 Fees returned by district clerk 49 53 License 2,681 15 Rent 2,727 00 Building permits 133 50 City scales 127 90 Sale of dirt 67 70 City railway 479 55 Fire loss 635 13 Police court fines 3,714 85 Pound fees 15 50 The report then gives an itemized statement of the condition of each fund, a summary, or "recapitulation" of which la as follows Disbursements.

The Kansas City Star says: "It has been years since Kansas City has enjoyed a production of grand opera; bo long, in fact, that there are doubtle-s scores of lovers of this class of music w ho now suffer from "a thousand dollar thirst." For these persons the live per formances at the Auditorium this week will be as an elixir. "If the quality be not of the Abbey Grau standard there will be no heart burnings. Better one sup, one eriu-t, than no Blip, and no crust at all. In tho selection of a repertoire the management has shown excellent judgment. It would be difficult to present five popular and standard operas without choosing either or all of "Faust," "II Trovatore" and "Carmen." All have been presented iu this city excepting Mascagni's "Caval leria Huaticana," and that has been heard here in a dramatic version played by Alexander Salvlni with some of the incidental music" By addressing Lee F.

In his younger days Henry Labot chere, when attached to the British em bassy at Home, received instructions tc make inquiries about Florence or soini distant place. He wrote for expenses, but they were not allowed. However, Mr. La"bouchere started. Nothing was heard of him for weeks. Eventually, in reply to many dispatches Kent out to as It how he was getting on, a letter arrived' "A expenses are not allowed, Mr. La bouchere is obliged to walk. He expects to reach his destination by the end of th year." Argonaut. Bespoken. Lady of the House I am a poor.

"Sorry," he said, "but I can't let vo i have it." "Why not?" And the your.g man v s greatly astonished. "Because you have disappointed iric, and I don't want to be disaX'poinlcd again." The borrower was more surprised tiinn ever. "What do you mean by being disap pointed?" he asked. "This," explained the money man: "1 let you have that $10 not expecting evci to get it again, and I did. Now, if I let you have $o0, I would expect to get it again, and I never would. No, sir," ha added conclusively; "one disappointment Is enough. Good day." And that ended it. Detroit Free Press. Motherly Solicitude Fur tbe Young- Man.

Flowers J1- L 1 THE OLDEST DOLL. It Is Encrusted witn Jewels and Is in a Church at Rome. Francella A. Hitchcock, in the Doll's Dressmaker, tells an interesting story of the famous Bambino di Ara Coeli, which is far older than our grand mothers or our great-grandmothers for many generations back. It is the old- i est doll in the world, and, if tradition is true, almost as old as the Christian, religion, for it is claimed to have been carved out of a tree from the Mount of Olives in the time of the apostles, and to have been painted by St. Luke. However, be this true or not, it has been in the "Eternal City" many hun- THE OLDEST DOLL. dreds of years, and it is called the Ara Coeli Bambino (baby), because the chnrcb. of that name, one of tho oldest and most interesting" in Rome, is its home. This church is built on the site of a very ancient pagan temple, and its nave is formed of twenty-two columns, the spoils of the ancient buildings, tho inscription on the third on the left proving it to have been brought from the palace of the Caesars. I shall never forget the first day we visited this vast and solemnly pic turesque edifice. It was just at sun set, and golden shafts of light illumi nated the mosaic floor, lighted up the richly gilded ceiling above and flashed in wondrous brilliancy over the Pre sepio or manger, where lay the miracu lous Bambino in swaddling clothes, literally crusted over with diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sappbires and other precious stones, while its neck and wrists were entirely covered with. 6trings of the purest oriental pearls. The whole of one of the side chapels is devoted to the representation of the birth of Christ. In the foreground is the Virgin Mary kneeling by the man ger, with Joseph, by her side, while just behind are a life-size ox v and ass, and shepherds and kings kneel near in adoration. DO NOT GROW OLD. Hint to .Ladiea Whose Tears Mny Boon Become a Harden. In Paris elderly ladies are now wear ing almost exclusively velvet dresses, trimmed with costly lace, disposed in basques, collars and sleeve sabots or frills, says the New York Tribune. This combination is extremely becom ing and stately. A woman is never old enough to neglect her appearance. Nothing can be more disagreeable to the sight than a negligee old lady. Unfortunately, one often sees one with the hair dragged in the most un compromising fashion away from the face brushed close to the head and fastened under the cap in a little knot about the size of a walnut at the back, no 'further attempt at any arrange ment of the coiffure being made; and this carelessness results in a dreadfully bald appearance, as the spaces bet ween hair and ears and hair and neck are thereby rendered conspicuously promi nent. Moreover, many dear old dames fail to realize that at thoir time of life the neck should be as little exposed as pos sible, for it is only too frequently brown and wrinkled. It would be easy to dispose a little lace about it in order to conceal the scraggy neck revealed with too scrupulous honesty. It may be added that women over forty should carefully avoid becoming too stout, a misfortune brought about generally by self-indulgence in the" pleasures of the table, in afternoon naps, and in a lazy neglect of daily ex ercise. Avoid candies. Never eat pastry or buttered toast. Prefer biscuits or dry toast to bread whenever possible. Drink as little as possible. Accus tom yourself to taking tea or coffee without sugar. Never touch jam, and if you cannot do without butter spread it as sparingly as possible. Lemonade, if made from fresh lem ons, is good for the health, and tends to reduce flesh. Growing old is always, of course, a little tragic, especially if a woman re main young and fresh in mind. But she need not grow fat, coarse and ruddy as well a old. m .A V fa HATS FOR YOUNG CIRLS- This illustration shows the general style for school and everyday hats for young girls. Feathers and ribbons are the. suitable trimmings, a-s flowers crush too easily. The toned and plain dark straws are the best styles, and the shapes are whatever is found moat becoming, the hats being bent and fastened into any form. THE NEW SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT. It Is Called Conservative, While the Pio neer Movement Was Radicalism. Within a few days a postal card read ing thus has been sent to a large num ber of people in this city, both, men and women: A committee of ladies invite you and all the adult jiiembera of your household to call at SherrTs on any Saturday in April between 9 and 6 o'clock to sign a petition to strike out in our state constitution the word male as a qual ilication for voters. Circulars explaining the reasons for this request may be obtained at the same time and plaoe. Mrs. Charms Rcsseli. Lowell. Mrs. Joseph II. Choate. Dr. Marv Pttnaii Jacobl lire. J. Wakken Goddabd. Mr,. Robert Abbe. Mrs. Hexry Sanders. Miss Adkle M. Field e. This circular has much significance because of the character of the ladies whose names are appended to it. So far as we know, none of them has taken part in the women's rights agitation of the last 40 years, and hitherto they have not been among those who were active in demanding the suffrage for women. The radical women's rights agitators like Jlrs. Stanton and- Miss Anthony have not had them among their followers and have not enlisted their sympathies. They have represented feminine conserv atism or tho prevailing feminine senti ment, and hence have kept aloof from the little band of women who have struggled for years and against so many discouragements to arouse in their sis ters a desire for political privileges which would put them on an equality with men in the state. It is true that Mrs. Jacobi, for in stance, was one of the first American women to enter the regular medical pro fession, and that she has won much dis tinction in that field, but she has not been publicly associated with the wom en's rights agitators who have been en gaged in a ceaseless fight for those priv ileges during the whole oi her successful professional career. She began by con tenting herself with resisting the preju dice, then almost universal, against what was called the enlargement of "women's sphere," which opened for them other activities than those pursued in the seclusion of the home or the schoolhouse. At the time when she pre pared lierself for the medical profession it was a brave step for her to take, but since that day it has become a matter of course for women to engage in any honorable occupations for which they can fit themselves. With the solo exceptions of the em ployments that require rude masculine strength and endurance, they are now successfully pursuing every department of business and professional industry in numbers so great that their appearance in competition with men no longer at tracts attention. If a woman has her liv ing to make or practical abilities which she wishes to exercise, public opinion finds no fault with her if she goes out into the field of industry like a man. She can do as she pleases about it, whether the occupation be trade, manufacture, a profession, the public service, the 6tage, the platform or any other career for which she is competent, and she suffers nothing in public or private estimation in consequence. She rather gains in es teem because of her self reliance, and experience shows that she loses nothing of the feminine charm that is in her. 1 This great advantage was won by women during a period when the cause of women's rights, as represented, by the mere agitators for woman suffrage, seemed to be going backward rather than making progress. Women were strug gling for social rather than political rights, but now having conquersd in the first field this circular looks as if they were beginning to have aspirations for equal triumph in the other. Having dem onstrated their ability to compete with men in private business, they are grow ing confident of their ability to join with them in the management of the affairs of the state. They are not wildly agitat ing to accomplish their purpose by dint of vociferation, but are calmly and quietly organizing to influence the rea V., XT i 4- 'ji.?1 '3', L t-i 1 ills'..- V son and the justice of the-coming consti tutional convention. It is noticeable, too, that the headquarters of the commit tee of ladies who sent out the circular we have quoted are at a resort of fashion in the Fifth avenue and not in a place with which radicalism or eccentricity is associated. This indicates that the pres ent movement expects to receive aid and impulse from social forces which hith erto have turned with indifference or re vulsion from efforts to obtain woman suffrage. Therein consists its great sig nificance. Undoubtedly if this committee repre sents the sentimeut of a great body o.' the intelligent women of the state its petition to strike from the state constitu tion the word "male" as a qualification for voters will not go unheeded. When ever women generally want the suffrage and make known their want, they will obtain it. New York Sun. A Superstitious Kride. As a German wedding procession was leaving the bride's house recently to go to church the dress of the heroine of the 'occasion caught to the knob of the door, which made a big rent in it. It was quickly mended, but the heart of the bride palpitated at the evil omen. Pass ing through the door of the church the dress again caught on a hook, and a hole larger than the first was made. That was too much of a bad portent for the bride- She turned abruptly and would not be held back. Neither her family nor the bridegroom was able to make an impression on her. She would not run into a life of bad luck with her eyes opened, and the bereaved bridegroom had to look for another bride. Berlin Letter. A. Kainy Day Club. Salem pedestrians were startled one day last week to see coming down the street a procession of ladies in short skirts. It was the rainy day club out for an airing. The new fad is becoming quite popular and is unreservedly in dorsed by the local papers. The skirts come within 8 to 12 inches of the ground. Portland Oregortian. BXiddle Aged Women. Says the Hartford Courant, finishing an essay on "Middle Aged Women:" "An old woman we aie all proud to be old;' a young woman we are all happy to.be young. But there was a premium promised to every woman who would join the Society of Ladies of Forty-five, and that premium was never paid." The Sash In Fashion. The truly aesthetic woman will wel come the sashes which have appeared orce more. They are worn in the back, tied in front or on the side, as they are most becoming, and are made of soft silk, satin or moire, with long ends fall ing almost to the bottom of the gown. American Fashion Journal. Mrs. Mary L. Burton, the very effi cient chairman of the Amendment club at Jamestown,- Kan., ia the mother of eight children seven sons and one daughter. She is a notary public and has served four years as postmaster at that place. The common council of Newburg, N.

Th Cbrlntian Cbareh TldK Seat Efforts to Womu Suffras. The Christian chorchea of thia county are the first to take a bold stand for woman suffrage. They adopted resolu tion8 in favor of equal sulfrage at the county convention yesterday afternoon in iNorth Topeka. Mrs. L. O. Case and Dr. Agnes Iiaviland appeared before the convention, and aaked that if the conven tion was in favor of woman suffrage, suitable resolutions be passed. The la dies were treated very cordially by those in the convention. The following reso lutions were unanimously adopted; Whereas, Feeling that a crisis has ar rived in our nation, and believing that "Whatsoever a man soweth, thatrshall he also reap;" we feel it imperative for ua to do what we can to undo the injustice with which over one half of our citizens, and over two-thirds of our church mem bers have been treated for past ages, and Whereas, That in appreciation of the labors of the sisters, we have passed, res olutions of sympathy, and bid them God speed, and they have worked on, greatly to the beneflt of all objects, for the up lifting of the human race and have ac complished wonders, and Whereas, Men have had fall power to make laws for the government ot the state and nation a3 suit them; but we are not satisfied, and having seen what the women could, and have done by their silent influence, we feel that she has been weighed in the balance, and not found wanting. Therefore, be it Resolved, That we deem it expedient, as well as right, to grant her the right of full suffrage, and for that purpose pledge her, not only our sympathy and our prayers, but our votes, and pledge ourselves that we will apply that other saying of Paul not so frequently quoted, as the one we are all so familiar with, that, "Yea, I entreat thee also, true yoke fellow, help these women who labored with me in the gospel." And we will not "Be found wanting in bearing the banner of "Equal rights to all, and special privileges to none." WHISKY TRUST MEETS. Net amlnfi for X.at Tear Were Nearly a Million Dollars Cash.

TOE SMME F HE la.st guest had said good night, the scrunch of carriage wheels had died away from the long avenue, and waa lost amid the si lence of the fields. The flow ers, waxen white and vivid scar let, drooped in the hot atmos phere of the oak gallery at Car thew G t a nee, which an hour J before had been. tilled by a great notabilities to crowd of county honor the birthday of the earl of Carthew's only daughter and heiress, and to hear a piece of news. And yet the announcement of an engagement between LadyAwdry Carstairs and young Philip, Dene, the wealthy squire of Hazeldene and Denewood, was no news to a county which for six months past had openly discussed the subject in the hunting field and the ballroom, over the tea-table and at the hair-brushing symposia sacred to the fair sex. "Good night, -my darling," said the countess, kissing her daughter. "Don't stop too long -taking farewell of Philip." Then she swept her violet velvet and rose point from the gallery, whence she was directly followed by a couple of men servants, who had been engaged in extinguishing the tall lamps and wax candles. In a halo of pale yellow light stood Lady Awdry Carstairs. The soft brown hair of her head was crowned with pearls, which also hung in many gleaming strings around her slender throat. Her white gown fell in full folds to the polished oaken floor where there grew and grew a little heap of white flower petals, pulled slowly one by one by the girl's un gloved fingers from her great bouquet. Philip Dene, tall, dark, fitted to mate with the fair vision before him, stepped from the shadowed embrasure of an open window. "Dearest, are you tired?" He spoke softly, bending his curly head above her smooth one. She waved her hand in negation, but no words came. "But your sweet face is as white as your gown, and such dark rings have come beneath your eyes during this last hour." He took her fingers into his grasp. "And your hands are like ice, and on this warm night, too. Let me send for Ceeile to bring you a wrap and take you straight off to bed." He rang as he spoke; but when the bell was answered it was Lady Awdry who stepped forward and gave the orders. "Light the fire and the lamps in the library, Thomkins, and bring me some hot coffee there t-t once." Then she turned to her lover. "I want to speak a few words to you before I go to bed." u With great deliberation, as though she wished to gain time, Lady Awdry poured out and sweetened a cup of coffee. "I prefer to stand, thank you," she said presently, as Philip Dene pushed a big chair nearer the blaze. Suddenly she dropped her cofSee cup with a clatter into the saucer and set both on the table. "Philip," she cried, and her big eyes widened and her cheeks grew yet paler as she spoke, "this mockery this farce must end." "Mockery! Farce! Awdry, what do you mean?" Philip tried to take 4' fvW "FHILIP! CQME BACTt! hif hands, but she shrank from him and clasped them both above her heart, which beat heavily through her laces. "Don't try to touch me or I shall scream. Don't attempt to speak, for I will not hear you. Nothing you can say can extenuate your baseness toward me and toward that other woman!" Philip Dene flushed hotly at her last words. He tried to speak but the girl, quivering with excitement, and beating her foot upon the floor, as though to lash herself into a fury went on: "Yes! You are more mean, more cruel toward that other poor soul than toward me. Was not her love enough for you, that you sought and won me? For I did love you, Philip, andGod help me! I love you stilL" Her voice broke and tears started from her eyes, but she dashed them from her eheeks and poured out a torrent of wild words. "Not content with ruining one woman, you long to degrade another. How can a man honor the wife who knowingly takes the place of a cast off mistress? How can a father look his own children in the face, knowing that he has stamped his image upon an outcast a 'Good God! Awdry, are yon mad? A wronged woman am outcast child! What do you mean?" Philip Dene was deadly pale as he spoke, but he faced," the angry girl without flinching, and, taking her by the shoulders,' forced her to look into his eyes and answer him.' "I will tell you what I mean. Last Monday, the day before you told me of your love and asked my father for my hand, a woman, young but faded, and wearing what was once rich clothing, arrived at Hazeldene. With her was a child, a boy." She wrung her hands and wailed as she looked into her lover's face, "Sc like you! Oh!' so like you!" But Philip only shook her slightly and muttered, "Go on." "I met the child the next day.. He told me in his baby way that he and his mother had come from London to stay with you. I gathered you had lodged them in the cottage by the old bridge that bridge which joins your place to my father's, that bridge you cross each time you come to see me. You pass that woman every time you leave my arms. You kiss that child before you lay your lips on mine. Philip Dene, I will not marry you, for that woman and her child are your shame." Philip dropped like a stone into the chair behind him. "You are right, Awdry," he cried, in a terrible voice. "That woman and her child are indeed my shame." She slipped her hand into her bosom and drew forth a tiny packet of papers. One, two, three, she dropped them singly into the flames, then drew a ring set with great diamonds and fiery rubies from her marriage finger. It tinkled on the hearth as she cast it from her, and ere the sound died she glided from the room. For an hour Philip Dene sat motion less. The Grange was wrapped in deadest silence, which the slow drop ping of the dying fire only intensified. It was a, drawn, miserable face, which at length faced the gray light which was creeping among the cur tain folds and turning the glow of the lamps to a sickly yellow. "So Awdry had found out about Elsie. Poor little Elsie, so fair, and ah! so frail. I loved her so, I love her now. And the boy, too, what a bonnie wee chap he is. Thousands of men and women would give half their for tunes for so bright and sturdy a son, and yet he is his mother's shame, and yes, Awdry was right and mine." Philip crossed the room and dragged back a curtain. "What a lovely sunrise on what a fair world. My world is storm-swept and ruined, but duty must be my sun. I will go to Elsie, poor broken thing, and take her and the child, two waifs both, away from here to where we can find peace. Then, perhaps, when Awdry bears, are will be sorry and forgive." He laid his hand upon the window latch, meaning to leave the house in that way, but a slight sound caught his ear. "Someone coming. Who can it be at this hour?" Instinctively Philip drew into the shadow. As the door was gently pushed open, Lady Awdry, barefooted, her long hair lying all unbound Over her shoulders, stepped softly over the floor. She did not seem to notice the parted curtains, but going to the fireplace, fell on her knees and with dainty finger-tips began to grope among the scarcely cold Wood ashes which lit tered the hearth. "My ring my dear, darling ring," she sobbed. "I must find it. .1 must get back the ring Philip gave me. It was only last Tuesday, three days back; he gave it to me, with tender words, and oh! such loving kisses and now it's gone, thrown away like his love, broken like my heart. Oh! Philip, I sent you away, but hear me, come back to me. I cannot give you up Philip, come back! pome back!" In a very passion of despair she flung herself face downward on the floor and wrung her hands, and moaned in agony. "Awdry! my love, my darling, I heard you. I am here!" Philip raised the prostrate form in his arms until it lay across his breast. He pressed his cool firm hands over her swollen eyes, and pushed the tan gled masses of her hair back from her burning forehead. Presently she looked at him. "You've come back, Philip. Ah! don't leave me again whatever I may do, whatever I may say. I was mad, I think, an hour ago. Mad with pride and jealousy, and envy of "Of my poor little half-sister. Don't look so startled, dearest. My mother married again after my father's cfeath. It was a mistake which she scarcely lived long enough to repent. Dying, she left a baby girl, Elsie, to my charge. But the child's father claimed her and took her abroad. Her wretched story I eannot tell you now, but only last week she wrote me from a miserable London lodging, praying my pitv and charity for herself and her child "Oh! Philip, and I "Would not let me speak an hour ago; but now you know all, and "And I must find my ring." Side by side they knelt before the cold hearth in the brilliant light of a new-born day. Side by side their fingers sought the lost ring, while the long strands of her unbound hair fell across his cheek. "At last," Philip Dene cried in tri umph. "Now, dearest, give mat your band again." 'Again and forever," she whispered, blushing rosily as he slipped the cir clet upon her finger.' Then she held it high above her head, and a sunbeam struck life and joy and happiness from the robies and diamonds Pick-Me-Up. The discontented woman finds no easy-chair. 75 aW rfj IVORY 1 r:."

SNIDER BEGINS SUIT. To Enforce Payment of $18,000 by New Vork Ioiuraice Companlea. Superintendent of Insurance Snider, through Attorney General Little and V. C. Webb, has filed a caao in the district court against the New York insurance companies. The suit is to enforce the reciprocal tax of 8-10 of 1 per cent on all New York policies written in Kansas. The tax would amoifht to about $48,000. It was collected from 1881 to 1886, when Superintendent of Insurance Morris held that the law waa not effective from the fact that the New York law had been re pealed by the legislature of that state. Superintendent Snider holds that the law has never been repealed and that thu companies are still liable, A reciprocal insurance tax is a tax to correspond with the insurance tax in the state in which the companies have their headquarters, and as !New York had an 8-lt per cent tax, Kansas was allowed to enforce the same tax against New York companies.

Evanston will not become a part of Chicago. The question which has been on the minds of the Evan etonians for the past four months was settled when the returns were all footed up last night and the movement was de feated by a vote of more than 8 to' 1. The total number of votes cast was 2,797, divided as follows: Against annexation 2,155; for annexation 612. The defeat of the movement was large ly due to the work of the Citizen's Asso ciation, which was organized with the single idea of preserving Evanston sepa rate and apart from the big city. The association conducted a vigorous cam paign. Mass meetings were held in every part of the city and so successful were its' works that it succeeded not only in killing annexation, but in burying it for a long time to come. When the result whs made known last evening there was great rejoicing in the temperance city. Brass bands paraded the streets, bon-ares were kindled on the public square and shouts of "hurrah for home rule" were everywhere to be heard. M"kfd Kobbera in a. Bank.

BI any Flfrrimca to the Old John Brown Farm In the Picturesque Adirondack. The Region Has iately Become a Fash ionable Smnrnet Retort. If the sonl of John Brown is still marching on, as the old war song saya, the grave in -which the sam mysteriously-inspiriting slogan hath it that his body lies moldering is becoming year by year a more interesting place of pil grimage for students of his history and admirers of his deeds. It is yearly be coming more accessible, too, with, the opening up and improvement of roads and the building Of railroads made nec essary since the wild Adirondack region has become a fashionable summering place. The grave is situated on the farm which John Brown bought in 1849 from Gerrit Smith at North Elba, Essex county, N. Y., and only two miles dis tant from those beautiful twin lakes. Mirror and Placid, whereof "society" baa lately become enamored. A good road leads from Mirror lsie to the John Brown farm, which is situ ated in the midst of the grandest scenery in the Adirondaoks. It is in an upland valley somo 20 miles in length and of an average breadth of five or six miles, and around it the forests have been cleared away for grazing farms, so that the country is oj.'en enough to present some charming s eeps of vision to the-eye. To the north, is the grand old "Whitef ace JOHN DOWN'S GRAVE, mountain, 4,000 feet in height, and from the farm one can look up its entire southern slope and see where it dips into' the famous Wilmington notch. Looking southward, the visitor has a magnificent view of the grandest of the Adirondack mountains. Mount Marcy, with its domelike crown piercing the atmosphere at an altitude of near 5, 000 feet, is the highest mountain east of the Rockies, with' the single exception of Black mountain, in North Carolina. Near it is the Elephant, a long mountain with an apparent resemblance to the animal for which it is named. West ward of Marcy stands Mount Mclntyre, second in height of the Adirondacks and affording, it is said, finer views than Marcy, owing to its more isolated, posi tion. The finest views of all, however, are to be had from Whitef ace, which also stands apart from the other mountains seems, in fact, entirely separated from them. From its summit almost the en tire length of Lake Champlain is visible as well as hundreds of the Adirondack lakes and the St. Lawrence river. A project is now under consideration to make tho summit of Whiteface more accessible. It is proposed to build a rail road up from Mirror lake, like those up Higi and Pilatus in Switzerland and like those up Mount Washington and Pike's peak. That John Brown must have had. an inborn love of natural grandeur is shown by his selection of a burial place in tho heart of this magnificent valley. But with his first coming to North Elba love of the beautiful had far less to do than his passionate love of freedom. What attracted him most was the fact that Gerrit Smith had there established a colony for negroes rescued from slavery. It may be that he thought it would be a good center from which to propagate his openly avowed idea of organizing a negro army to make war upon the slave hold ing states. At any rats, he took a farm of 248 acres in the then unbroken wilderness, made a clearing and erected a little wooden house, which still stands where he built it, though it has been consider ably improved in recent years. There he left his wife and the younger members of his family when he went to Kansas to fight against the extension of slavery into that territory. From there he went forth to his death in that famous raid on Har per's Ferry. There, after his execution, his widow took his body and buried it, in accordance with his desire, in the shadow of a huge bowlder that stands 30 or 40 feet away from the front of the house. The house and farm are now the prop erty of Kate Field, Sinclair Tousey, the sons of William'Lloyd Garrison and sev eral other admirers of John Brown. They bought the farm and put a neat wooden fence about the grave. Their aim was to protect the grave from desecra tion and the farm from unworthy uses. The inclosure about the grave contains about; an eighth of an acre and is filled with wild rosebushes. At the head of the grave stands a tombstone which John Brown brought from the grave of his grandfather at Torrington, Conn., and on itre inscriptions commemorative of his death and that of his three sons, who died, like him. in the effort to emanci pate the negroes. The tombstone has to be kept boxed tip and padlocked to pro tect it from desecration by relic hunters, who had already chipped it somewhat before this precaution was taken. The bowlder has also suffered in like man ner and has to be caref nlly guarded. On its summit, carved in great letters, is the inscription, "John Brown, IS 59. 7 v T J-r SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

It Will Be Operated ly Gas Says Oar Consul at Frankfort. Washington, April 18. The coming motor for the propulsion of streetcars will be gas, according to the report of United States Consul General Mason at Frankfort, Germany. He shows that the results of exhaustive experiments have determined that the gas motor is the cheapest and best of all means of power propulsion. The report tells of the great expense of the cable in construction, the noise and danger of the trolley, and of the high operating cost and unreliability of the underground electric systeci, and then, coming back to the gas motor, he describes the experiments that have been made with it in Europe. Practical trials have been made at Neuchatel, Switzerland, and at Dresden and the results in both cases while per haps not wholly conclusive, have been so favorable as to be worthy of examina tion. The Neuchatel car cost $2,858 each, pass one hundred foot currents, run back ward or forward with seven horse power, traverse any part of the line which is forty feet higher at the midway point, than at the ends, at a speed of eleven miles an hour. The cost of operating by gas is found to be 23 per cent cheaper than by elec tricity and the cost of equipment is also much cheaper. Hpyins on French Troops. Monaco, April 18. Gen.
