10 CENTS A WEEK. IT LOOKED UGLY In Ohio For a Number of Hours ,j Today. Got. McKinley Orders Troops and aGatlinjj Gun To Drive Commonwealers From aFrehr&t Train AT MOUNT STERLING. The Men Very Bold Until Militia Arrives, Then They Scramble Off and There's No Bloodshed. KELLY'S PROGRESS. lie Expects to March Into Des Moines Tomorrow. Coxey's Commonweal is Short of Provisions Colcmbcs, O.. April 28. Gov. Mc Kinley has ordered out battery H of this city, Capt Frank T. Stewart, to report at its armory preparatory to going to Mount Sterling, if necessary, to clear a Balti more Ohio freight train of Calvin's contingent of Coxey men. The battery has gatling guns and cannon. The governor has also ordered compa nies A, IiandC of the Fourteenth O. N. G., CoL Coit, of this city, to report ready to proceed if necessary to Mount Ster- 1 hese are Columbus companies and with the battery will number about 150 men; some of the members being out of town and so scattered as not to be availa ble today. Col. Coit himself was at Chil-lk-othe, but hastened home. The governor's action is based on the fact that S. P. Peabody, general agent, and Superintendent Graham of the li. O. road said they had been unable to get a freight train through Mount Sterling for two days, and that the sheriff of Mad ison couuty with one company of the fourteenth regiment right in Mount Ster ling and at his disposal under the law had refused, or was afraid to act. This company has about thirty men. The men in possession of the train number about 200. The battery will take its gatling gun. Iklilitia u m I-ivr. John Mahoney, a Columbus police officer, aud as a representative of the state a very determined man, is at the train with some deputies, and it is supposed the show of militia is beinj made so as to enable Mahoney to induce the men to leave the train without the use of force. If this does not work, the military will-go to the Bcene. Adjutant General Howe is there in citizen's clothes. His uniform has been sent to him. A company of the Fourteenth Dele ware has been notilied to hold itself in readiness. The opinion prevails here that if the sheriff of Madison county had shown a little nerve there would not have been any occasion to use troops from other places. Galvin's men are quiet but are still holding the train. A special to the Dis patch says the excitement is intense, but bolemn. Every nerve is strung to a high tension, awaiting the arrival of the Ohio iNatii.nal guards. Attorney General Richards of the state is thero with Adjutant General Howe. John Mahoney offered to make the at tempt to drive the men from the train with his 30 special officers but was ad vised by the attorney general not to use force or shoot The attorney general said the military alone should do the shooting if shooting is necessary. Soldiers Lbavc fur Mount Sterling;. The train of soldiers at 11:30 a. m., pulled out for Mount Sterling. Two gat ling guns were on the rear. Six cars contained soldiers. The other was a baggage car. It was a surprise says a special to the dispatch to the Galvin army at 1:30 this moruing when Detective John Mahoney and his men asked them to vacate the train. When he presented his commis sion showing that he represented the governor who had given him special power in accordance with law, the Coxey ites laughed at uitn. They refused to hear the commission read. They met all demands in the name of the state with hoots and jeers. Mahoney wired these facts to the gov ernor and said that unless instructed oth erwise he would proceed to put the men off the train by daybreak. He was told to do nothing and at 5 a. m. Adjutant General Howe and Attorney General Richards arrived at the train. After a conference with them, Scott Chenowith, Bheriff of Madison county, ordered the men off the train. The order was kindly made. Galvin said he had no control over the men and was power less to do anything. The sheriff and the state officers then walked along each ear and ordered the men on each to leave the train.. This having been done at torney General Richards addressed' the men saying that Chenowith was sheriff of the county and the power of state was behind him. "If you refuse to obey his command to get off this train the state of Ohio will compel you to do so," he said. When he. had concluded Gal vin spoke to the men. Baying: "Men, I have no control over you," you must act on your own judgment in this matter. Each man must act for himself individ ually, but I would advise you to obey the order of the sheriff." 2ot a word came from the men. The Bheriff then made a request upon the State for assistance of the militarv. Galvin aaid to a reporter:" ""I don't see the necessity of all this trouble. All j the men want is to ride on that train. They do not expect to do anybody, or j anything any injury." The troops arrived at Mount Sterling at 12:10 p. m. Adjutant General Howe immediately took command. At 1 o'clock the troops mounted the cars. The Gal vins scrambled off and the train moved away. No shots were tired. It 1Va at Mtartlius Scene. As soon as the troops formed. Sheriff Chenowith handed Colonel Coit a paper directing him to make use of the mili tary in cleaning the train, the men occu pying the train against the protest of the railroad company. "Any person," said the paper, "who resists, you will arrest and hold subject to further orders. You will use no more force than is necessary to execute this order. You will then guard the train at this point until further orders." Colonel Coit then addressed the men as follows: "Men, I have asked you kind ly to leave this train. Your command ing officer has surrendered and now in the name of the state of Ohio, I order you to leave. 1 notify you that I will give you three minutes to get off the train and if you do not do so, 1 shall use force as I am authorized to do," and as he spoke he drew out his watch to count the minutes. He then started down the train and repeated his order, which was taken up by General Howe and other officers. Several of the Galvinites yelled "We surrender," and began to get down, but the mass of the men frowned and shook tueir heads. In the meantime the troops were moving into position. The (gatliug guns were placed so as to sweep the top of the long string of cars. Companies UA" UB' and "C" were-at the head. There was hesitation on the part of the Galvinites. The man holding the American dag on top of the forward car exclaimed: "I'll stay till the last!" General Howe extended the time and then Colonel Coit took Company A and mounted the car bearing the flag. As soon as the officer reached the flag, the flag-bearer laughed and said: "lama law-abiding citizen and will obey or ders." He forthwith proceeded to climb down. It was a signal and many others fol lowed. There were numerous mutte ings, however, ana there were a few troublesome ones. The stillness was heavy and save for the shout of the offi cers it was quiet as a funeral. Every strange sound caused a start and tho worst was expected. SHORT OF FOOD. Coxey's Commonweal Is Much In Need of Something to Eat. Gaithersburg, Md., April 28. The army of commonwealers slept with little shelter and in a bed damp with dew. Their breakfast was of hard-tack and coffee. The march from Frederick thus far has been through hamlets only and the contributions have been meager. Thus, since Thursday te men who fol low. Coxey have eaten iraught save hard crackers and, had not) Lo-g to drink but coffee. 'iiie army is feeling the stress of low diet. Their spirits decline with their physical dejection, and the result is there has been growling about food and all sorts of rumors of strike are heard. These conditions prevail, too, at pre cisely the tim when Mr. Coxey might least desire they should. The long tramp is about ended, and with its completion the army will feel absolved in some sense from allegiauce to the movement. Thus Coxey will have difficulty in keeping his following together as an ob ject lesson before congress. Mainten ance for these men all summer is the grave question which -now confronts Coxey. The men are also considering the ques tion and soon they will demand of Coxey some assurance of richer nourishment than they have enjoyed recently. The Correspondent Atkfl Questions. On this point The Associated Press correspondent today questioned the lead er of the movement. "It just amounts to this," said Mr. Coxey, "we rely upon the public at large' to support this movement." "By that you mean support for your commonwealers?" 'Certainly I do; if the enterprise is not maintained by the people in whose in terest it is, then it must fail; but we be lieve and rely without doubt upon the public support." "Can you personally afford to maintain these men through the summer or for any extended period," was asked. "Indeed, I cannot." replied Coxey, who then added after a moment's pause, "the fact is that I have sought not to appear as paying the expenses of this journey, and I have said as little as possible about what I nave paid. I will state however, that I paid all the outfitting of this ex pedition up to the start, except $15 which was presented. Ihe contributions along the lino until after Pittsburg was passed were quite ample, but since then I have been obliged to pay the expenses most of the time. At Frederick we got plenty to eat and there was no expense." "Your men propose, it is said, to de mand some share of the gate money charged the public for admission to the camp what will you say, then?" "Say; what will I say?" exclaimed Coxey. I will say that the money has been and is used to maintain them. I handle it of course but it goes for the support of the men." Mjr Issne Proclamation. "This matter has been carefully con sidered and within two or three days a proclamation will be issued, addressed to the American people, presenting the sit uation anew and calling for help from the American people who maintain and pros ecute this campaign. We intend not to stop insistance of action by congress in behalf of the unemployed when once we have reached Washington." The leader of this enterprise expects surely to go into Washington with his men and to go to the capitol steps. He regards any talk of interference as ab Burd. After a shave, Chief Coxey and Marshal Browne started in Coxey's phaeton behind his black team for Ilockville. Their errand was to se cure, if possible, the exclusive use of the fair grounds for the Coxey camp and shut the Unknown Smith seceders out, who are on the fair grounds about fifteen strong. The Coxey army is to be moved on Sunday morning to Irightwo-d park on TOPEKA, KANSAS, SATURDAY EVENING. APRIE the edge of Washington, and in this movement there is a purpose born of' financial consideration, Coxey's rea soning is that a big crowd will be sure to come out from Washington on Sunday to see the army. His plan is to set the canvas about the tent and charge 25 cen.ts admission to all visitors, the receipts to go toward maintaining the camp. In the absence of the chief and Carl Browne, Coxey's son Jesse is in command of the army. The youth marshalled the 250 men and took up the short day's journey of five miles to Ilockville. The morning was cool, bright and clear, the rain of last evening having laid the dust without creating mud. KXIEB MO I.N KS TOMORROW. Kelly Expects to Much Ills Army Into Iowa's Capital on Sunday. Stuart, Iowa, April 28. Kelly's in dustrial army began its forced march to Des Moines today under smiling skies and with the solid columns singing its war songs. The Sacramento inaleon-' tents had straggled in during the night having tired of their temporary deser tion and 1,251 men lined up for roll call and tramped down the green hillside when Kelly turned his charge towards Des Moines. The citizens of Stuart were liberal in their contributions of food, and forty-one teams were furnished for the transpor tation of the men. The army was in bet ter humor than at any time since the mutiny of company "C," the approach ing end of the tramp to the state capitol having revived the waning enthusiasm and developed a returning confidence in Kelly. The young commander was smiling and happy as he galloped up and down the long line of loaded wagons and trudging men. He had not aroused much sympathy among the townspeo ple, but he had secured much subsist ence and in the double barrel negatives of his little orderly, Walter, "he didn't have nothing to kick about." Kelly was confident of reaching Des Moines tomorrow morning. "We will be there to greet our friends when they awake," he said. "We are not very rap id, but the morning sun will see us at Des Moines. Our friends, the laboring people, will be at liberty Sunday and we must be there." Dinner was served atEarlham 11 miles from Stuart. Teams from points along the route met the army, picked up the stragglers and relieved the tired foot men. From Vanmeter after supper,Kel ly said he would go the remaining 20 miles to Des Moines with but one or two short "let ups" for rest Kelly impress ed his men with the necessity of getting into the city and they made good time riding and walking in relays. Soon after the army passed Earlham, Kelly became incensed because he had not sufficient teams to carry all the men and announced flatly that he would go no further until wagons were furnished.' Committees at once began scouring the surrounding country for transportation. Kelly said that his men must ride or stay In Earlham. He said he might be com---peiled to give up reaching' Des Moines" tomorrow, but he would not kill his men. A. THOUSAND IIY BOAT. California S I i 1 1 Throwing: Oft" Swarms of Unemployed Men. Sacramento, April 28. Word has been received here that 850 to 1,000 men left Oakland for this city on the steamer Alva, chartered by Oakland. The ex pectation is that they will be here by to morrow morning. Citizens held a meet ing last night to consider the situation. It was reported that Gen. Baker had been warned not to come but he declar ed that he had men enough to force his way into the city; that the railroad com pany and state had valuable interests here and it would be an object to them to have his army carried east The mayor, chief of police and the sheriff will meet the invaders on their arrival and flatly tell them they shall get no aid nor comfort here,'and that the first infraction of the law will be severe ly punished. The probability is that if the army at tempts to take possession of Agricultural park or any other state property it will be confronted by the military and local aoldiers. The army already stranded here has gone to Sutter and for that rea son it will be free from conflict with Baker's army, should the latter attempt to locate at Agricultural park. Colonel lnman says the city can call on them any time for aid, should it be required to subdue any lawlessness on the part of the invaders. LED BY A WOMAN. Anna Smith the General of a California Industrial Array. Oakland, Cal., April 28. The 500 commonwealers who left here last night on a steamer bound up the river for some point near Sacramento, were under the leadership of Mrs. Anna F. Smith a San Francisco woman who is past middle age. She was unanimously elected president of the regiment after several male commanders had failed to lead them from their wilderness. Mrs. Smith is a determined woman of soldierly mien. She declares she will not stop until her ragged, host shall be drawn up in line before the capitol steps in Washington and that she is fortified to suffer hunger with her comrades if necessary. STABS A KOTllSCIlixP A Beggar Attack One of the Great Bank ers in the Street. Paris, April 2a A dispatch to the Siecle from Vienna says that a beggar attacked the head of the Rothschild branch banking house in that city, and stabbed the banker in the face while he was walking through the streets. "nay ts Better Bat Ueak. Pittsburg, Pa., April 28. Senator Quay having recovered sufficiently to make the trip, left for Washington in a private car today, lie was very weak and said he was quite ill, but felt that at this time his presence was needed in the senate. Y"esterday he had a severe at tack of vertigo. Henri 3Int Iie. Paris, April 28. At the conclusion of the trial, Henri the anarchist, who threw the bomb at the Terminus cafe, was found guilty and was sentenced to death. LET US HAVE LAW i Seems to Be the Sentiment at Jlelena, Mont. The. .Great .Northern is Called Into Court, TO SHOW GOOD CAUSE Why Its Trains Running:. Are Not The Strike Today Takes On a 1 New Form. Helena, Mont., April 27. Proceed- ings were begun in the supreme court to day on behalf of the attorney general to compel the Great Northern to operate its lines within Montana. A' petition was filed which Bets forth the' organization of the road, and recites that on April 13. in violation of its duty to the people of this statej and in disre gard of its obligations assumed in the acceptance of its franchise, it wholly ceased to operate any of its lines within the state, and still refuses to do so, or to carry any freight or passengers or to ac cept either for transportation and has wholly abandoned operations. That it is f ulTy able to operate and run its trains. That it has abundant means to do so and that there are at all points along its line within the state a sufficient number of competent and skilled men, who can be engaged to do so at reasonable wages and at less wages than are paid to similar employes upon any other line in Montana; that the counties in the northern part of the state are almost entirely depend ent upon the Great Northern for transpor tation facilities and that the neglect of the road to run trains has already re sulted in great lossto inhabitants; where fore, the attorney general asks the court for an. order upon the company com manding it to appear and show cause why a writ should not be issued com pelling the company to operate its road as it was operated previous to April 13. These proceedings will be followed by an application to have the charter of the road within the state forfeited on ac count of the failure to operate the line. The court has taken the application un der consideration. A Well Laid Plan. Seattle, Wash., April 28. It has transpired that the Great Northern has a w.ell laid plan to break the strike on this end of the line, but it was foiled by fa clerk in the ranks of the strikers. The incipient break arose from ap peals to the loyalty of engineers and trainmen to their brotherhoods which came from the east. Being promised recognition of brotherhood men by the company the enthusiasm of the strike began to cool and they announced themselves as ready to go to work. A conference with the local officials at which the engineers, conductors and brakemen were promised concessions if they would go to work, the engineers and trainmen promised to accept provided that the firemen, who were not present at the meeting, would assent. It was arranged that trains should go out at regular hours this morn ing. The firemen, however, refused at a se cret meeting to accept the conditions and the engineers ref used to go out with scab firemen. All operators on the line have received orders from Chairman Jones, of the O. R. T. to return to their duties as the 6trike was not ordered by the order. The telegraphers last night replied to Chair man Jones dispatch saying they sympa thized with the A. R. U. and would stay with the strikers. The Tieap Utter and Complete. St. Paul, .Minn., April 28. The Great Northern strike situation today was one of quiet watchfulness on the part of both sides so' far as appearances went. No trains, either freight or passenger were moved in either of these and so far as heard, none were moving along the line to the coast. It is a com plete tie-up of over 4,495 miles of track in half a dozen states, the other roads in this city, who use Great Northern tracks for terminals, were allowed to switch with their own train crews, but no regular switchmen were at work. President Hill today received a tele gram from Superintendent J. D. Farrell of Spokane, saying: "All your engineers, firemen, conductors and brakemen here are ready to go to work when you call on them." Mr. Hill said he had more than enough men to go to work. The engines for branch line trains were standing in the union depot yards today waiting to be at tached as soon as the trains had been backed pown. They had been brought out of the round house without any dif ficulty, and were manned by old engi neers and firemen in the Great North ern. Cars, however, were not there, and their absence was explained by the fact that nobody, would handle the switch en gines to move them from the yards. In the yards there was no appearance of Unusual excitement. A number of the regular switchmen were on hand ready to work, but as there were no yard engine crews they had nothing to do. It was impossible to ascertain how long this state of inactivity might continue. Mr." Hill is, however, busily engaged in com pleting his plans to operate the road. EitciidK to Milwaukee. Milwaukee, April 28. A special from West Superior to the Evening Wisconsin says: All the employes on the Eastern 3Iinnesota have gone -out in sympathy with the Great 'Northern strikers, and the im mense yards are as quiet as on Sunday. It is rumored that flour handlers at the dock will strike but this is not believed as the men are receiving good wages and have been idle so long; all. attempts to 28, 1894. start trains are abandoned, and the stri kers are now holding a meeting. Tracks. Torn Up. Minneapolis, Minn.. April 28. Not a freight car is moving on the Great, Northern line', f rom St. Paul to Helena. The track was torn up two miles east of Devil's Lal N. D., today and all trains are held then? Reports from Mioot state that 140 feet of track there wa9 washed away.' What Hill Sayr. St. Paul, Minn April 28. Regarding the Helena suit to compel to operate its lines in Montana, Sam Hill, president of the Montana Central road, a branch line of the Great Northern, and son-in-law of Presi dent Hill, says;.. "There, is noth ing in it. I don't see how it can affect the company adversely as a natural attempt to injure the company in the minds of the public It will fail entirely in its object." A RIOT AT TOLUCA. Striking; Miners Wound a Is" amber of the Working; Miners. Toluca, 111., April 28. Riotintr broke out here at 8:30 o'clock last night and the first blood shed owing tp the refusal of several miners to quit work. Three men were wounded before the deputies could reach the scene of trouble. The fighting lasted not more than two min utes. Several pistols were fired without other effect than to attract a crowd of miners, who 'had been carousing in the neighboring saloons and dance halls. The wounded are: F. Garibaldi, Italian miner, head smashed. Frank Martini, Italian miner, badly cut about head and face and skull in jured. D. Sipek, Polish miner, Jace cut and head bruised. Two more Italians known to have been badly injured were carried into the woods by their friends and have not been found. OPEN LETTER TO WOLCOTT. Written By Superintendent of Insurance Snider of Kansas. Superintendent of Insurance S. H. Sni der has written an open letter to Senator Wolcott He says: "Senator Wolcott: Your utterances on the floor of the United States senate April 20th, (as given in the press dis patches.) in your speech in opposition to Mr. Allen's Coxey resolution, challenges an emphatic protest from every loyal in telligent American who reads the same. When you say there is today no man who sincerely desires to work for the support of himself and family, who can not obtain work, you are ignorant of the present conditions of not only your own state, butt this whole country, or you knowingly prevaricate. v "The Coxey movement is not he result of a session of legislation, but of years of enactments by just such individuals as you and your plutocratic colleague, ..by your own words, prove- yourselves to be. "For years te people have-petitioned congress for relief, but their written pe titions have been utterly ignored; now they come, peacably, in person to ask that their rights be respected and peti tions considered. They form the largest body of personal petitioners which has ever gone to the national capital, and though in comparison with our whole population their number may seem small, yet it is not, for back of them are millions whose hearts beat in sympathy with them; they are only the committee: they are not men'of the worst element of the country, but are true citizens, loving liberty, home and a government of peo ple. S. H. Snider," Supt of Insurance of State of Kansas. WOLCOTT A. RAILWAY ATTORNEY. Says Waiteand His Views Are Necessarily Tiueed. Denver, April 28. "Mr. Wolcott is incapable of taking a broad and states manlike view of any question," said Governor Waite referring to the senator's speech against Senar Allen's Coxey resolution. ''He .i'.a the United States senate the p'.l attorney of a railroad corporation to look out for railway inter ests which are largely concerned in the commonweal army." Wolcott Hanged in Effiffy. Cripple Creek, Col., April 28. Sena tor Wolcott has been hanged in effigy at Victoria, a mining camp in the, Cripple Creek district with the inscription on bis back: "Down with Plutocracy." .The reason for the act was the senator's re cent speech on the Coxey movement. "HANG HIM" KILL HIM Poor Thousand Unemployed Men Chase a Cleveland Policeman. Cleveland, O., April 28. About 4,000 unemployed men held a meeting in Monumental Square today and listened to speeches delivered in many different tongues. The police department learning that speeches were being made in foreign languages advising violent measures, sent Patrolman Frank Khulas in citizen's clothes, as an inter preter to listen and to report as to the nature of the addresses. Khulas was soon recognized and a cry went up frdm a thousand throats: "He's a spy; hang him; kill him." Khulas ran and was pursued a short distance by the crowd,' but succeeded in making his escape. MR. HURLEY ASSAULTED. The Santa I'e Train Master Has Trouble With a statist Agent. Train-master Hurley of the Santa Fe's Chicago division was assaulted this week by a station agent at a stop not far from Chicago. The trouble grew out of a railway regulation that no pic tures or lithographs shall adorn the waiting rooms of the station houses. Train-master Hurley saw a large picture of Chief Ramsey of the telegraph- operators' union on the wall and promptly tore it down. The station agent concluded that the trainmaster "had it in" for him and when Mr. Hurley passed through there a few days after, the station agent hit him several blows, on3 of which is reported to have closed his eye. Mr. Hurley is reported to have drawn a revolver and held his assailant and liis sympathizers at bay. D. Holmes, druggist, 731 Kansas ave.' TWENTY-SECOND YEAR.

STATE JOTTRNATi, SATURDAY EVENING. APRIL 28, 1894. Kansas City. it.- The biggest and most comprehensive Bale we have ever had begins Tuesday, the 1st of May. Biggest inasmuch as we have more poods to offer you than ever put in one sale; most comprehensive, since we dive deeper into the inexpensive goods and reach higher into the expensive articles of merchandise. We intend to make this an event not an incident in the history of our busi ness. Having gathered from the four quarters of the globe merchandise of all discriptions, except that which is worthless, we are going to offer you practical seasonable merchandise, at prices that will make you a quick buyer. We have determined that this shall be the greatest May Sale on, record, and it will be. Our New York buyers have raked the market fore and aft, and with their ready cash and good judgment have taken from the jobbers, manufactur ers, and auction rooms goods at unheard-of prices.

Representatives Talbert and Pickler Call Names, For Whlch'Tliey Are Called to Order. APOLOGIES ARE AS BAD As the Heated Language First Indulged In. WASBtrxeTOX, April 28. Twenty-one private pension bills passed, tells the story of yesterday's work in the house. Mr, Hepburn '.of Iowa, who has been harassing the Democratic side daily for' a week, to force action on these pension bills, finally succeeded, thrpugh the aid of 51 r. Pickler of South Dakota, who has been acting with him, and the bills were passed. The beneficiary of one of the bills, an old lady of 96, totally blind, the widow of a soldier of the war of 1812, had died siAce her bill was reported from last Friday night's session. When it was read and about to be placed upon its passage, Mr. Taylor of Indiana in terrupted by saying: "Never mind, Mr. Speaker," said he, "that bill can be laid aside; the old lady is dead." The members who had been chat ting and laughing stopped'. There was a moment of silence. The relief for which the old lady had. been striv ing so long was at hand, but, like many other congressional claims, it came too late. The Tisual monotony of the Friday night session was broken when the members were in a rancorous temper, the lie passed and two members were called to order for unparliamentary language. Mr. Talbert. Democrat, South Caro lina, who has been trying for several weeks to get into the record a series of articles on the subject of pensions, repeated his attempt last night. All his requests were refused. Mr. Pickler, of South Dakota was particularly determined in his opposi tion. Both gentlemen showed signs of temper, "That is the most slanderous attack on Union soldiers ever published," said Mr. Pickler. "The gentleman is talking about something he knows nothing about," shouted Mr. Talbert. "The gentleman from South Caro lina," continued Mr. Pickler, "is only trying to slander union soldiers." I deny it," said Mr. Talbert in loud tones, shaking his fist aloft. "The gentleman has uttered a false hood, pure and simple," said Mr. Pick ler. Instantly a dozen members on the Republican side were on their feet, and Mr. Hepburn cilled Mr. Talbert to order and demanded that his word9 be taken down. They were read from the clerk's desk, and, after some wrangling, Mr. Talbert was given permission to explain. Mr. Talbert began his explanation by stating that he was sorry he was obliged to say what he had, but it was true. He would withdraw what he had said, however, if Mr. Pickler would with draw his remarks. The tone of the South Carolinan's explanation did not seem to suit Mr. Baker, Republican, New Hampshire, who declared that the explanation was fully as offensive' as the original language and he again called Mr. Tal bert to order. At this juncture there was an effort to pour oil on the troubled waters and, on motion, Mr. Talbert was allowed to proceed. He had no further explanation to make, however, and took his seat, when Mr. Pickler arose and made a statement, which a gain kindled tne flames of par tisanship. The paper which printed these articles, he said, was continually slandering and villifying the soldiers. "The gentleman from South Caro lina," he added, turning to Mr. Tal bert, "has slandered and vilified them every Friday night. That is his ob ject, and I hold it in utter contempt." Mr. Livingstone of Georgia, Demo crat, jumped to his feet and in turn called Mr-. Pickler to order. After his words had been read from the clerk's desk, Mr. Martin of Indiana, moved that Mr. Pickler be permitted to ex plain. "I don't want to explain," shouted Mr. Pickler. "I stand by what I said, and have nothing to take back." At this point the counsel of cooler heads prevailed. The excitement subsided and, without further inci dent, the house proceeded and dis posed of nine pension bills, five of which were favorably acted upon. The point of no quorum was then made and. after a call of the roll, the house at 10:30 adjourned. A SKIRMISH IN THE SENATE. Maneuvering, Marching:. Clashing and Rapid Firing- on th Tariff BUI. Washington, April 27. Yesterday was a field day in the senate. There was maneuvering, marching, clashing and a rapid firing. When Mr. Aldrich demanded that Mr. Harris, of Tennes see, should speak for the Democratic side and say whether or not the Dem ocrats would vote on the tariff bill as it now stood at 3 o'clock, the interest of senators and spectators became in tense. All eyes centered upon the sturdy, white haired senator from Tennessee, but he did not reply. There were hurried consultations, and it was soon known the defiance of the Republicans would be hurled back, and there was an air of expectancy when Mr. Lind say neared the end of his speech. When he finished, Mr. Harris was on his feet immediately, -although others sought the floor. He was recognized. In an intense and .dramatic manner he read the verbatim report of the colloquy between the Rhode Island and Kentucky senators and accepted the proposition to vote on the senate bill, and followed.it up with a request for unanimous consent for such a vote at 3 o'clock. It was at once apparent Mr. Aldrich did not intend to accept this offer. Several Republican senators ob jected to the unanimous consent, and Mr. Aldrich. with some difficulty, re ceived, recognition. He explained that, while he offered to vote on the house bill, be had only asked jthe Democratic senators if they Would vote on the senate bill. Further than this he made the proposition to the senate and not to a Democratic cau cus, which he intimated had been held, since his proposition had been made. He was accused of backing and quibbling, and Senator White of California intimated he had -been bluffing and been 'called," and also the senator from Rhode Island would probably understand the term "called." t The senate and spectators knew, and audible demonstration followed the sally. Mr. Aldrich evidently knew what was meant, and replied by saying that it was not common in places where the words were applicable to allow the adversary two hours to look over his hand before making the call, and that was what the Democratic senators had done. Senator Teller stated his objections to a vote in vigorous terms, and in an allusion to the compromise tariff bill, brought out vigorous denial by Senator Voorhees that any other bill was in existence. But the interest in the battle had disappeared, the bugle sounded a retreat and the most dramatic incident in the senate tariff debate closed. FIVE CIVILIZED TRIBES. Senator Teller "Will Present His Report Regarding Them in a Fw Days. Washington, April 28. Senator Tel ler said yesterday that he intended to bring in his report on the subject of the condition of the five civil ized tribes, the result of his recent visit to the Indian Terri tory, within the next few days. He does not believe, however, that this report will fully cover the subject. He says that his committee has by no means been satisfied with the limited investigation they have been able to make, and that they intend to con tinue their consideration of the sub ject, probably in another vilt to the Indian Territory, or else in hearings before the committee on the five civi lized tribes, of which he is chairman. Attorney-General Olney's Advice. Washington, April 28.

Department of Agriculture. Washington, April 28.

But No Stens for the Better Elsewhere. ICjtvt York, April 28. Bradstreets says: "The general business situa tion throughout the Unifed States is less favorable, as is shown by reports from more than fifty important dis tributing centers. A specially de pressing influence is the strike of 147, 000 bituminous coal and coke opera tives in twelve states. "Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago and Duluth are feeling the strike, the ef fect in vessel interests at these and other lake ports being very discour aging. Duluth ore shipments are de layed for want of return coal cargoes and railroad companies have berun to discharge coal train employes. "Only two cities of thirty-five re porting in Central, Western and North western states report material im provement in general trade this week Indianapolis and Kansas City; even at those points the gain is slight. Ac tivity in the stock market is checked by the labor disturbances and the de lay in reaching a conclusion on the new tariff bilL Professional operators incline to depress the railway share list by means of short sales. Tne market, however, is narrow and sub ject to reaction. "The decrease in liabilities of firms failing still continues, and the aggre gate reported for the third week of April was only 82,792,463, and for three j weeks of April $0,988,588, of which $2,810,914 were of manufacturing and $3,841,095 of trading concerns. The failures have been very equally di vided as to sections, the East having the larger number, with liabilities of $3,277,000; the South, $2,572,000, and the West, $2,138,000. "The failures this week have been 180 in the United States, against 215 last year, for the first time in many months showing a decrease, and in Canada twenty-six, against twenty two last year. The list includes none of great importance." Clearing House Returns. New York, April 28.

Strike on the Great Northern Has Not Reached a Settlement. Minneapolis, Minn., April 28. The strike is on at last in the Twin Cities. The American Railway Union yester day afternoon called out all its men in the employ of the Great Northern road in the two cities. Telegrams were sent to all unions on that line to stand by the union. All efforts to settle the strike failed, and President Debs, of the American Railway union, issued orders for a strike qn all the Minnesota divisions of the Great Northern. This com pletes the strike from St. Paul to the coast. President Hill, of the Great Northern, again proposed his plan of arbitration at the last conference be tween the men's committees and the road, but it was refused. Last night everything was closed up in these two cities and along the line of the road. The brotherhood men, although not actively joining the strikers, seemed disinclined to work with non-union men and feared the possible dangers of green men on the switches. ROYALISTS IX HAWAII.

The resolutions also commit the Royalists to a policy of antagonism to anv project of the provisional govern ment to extinguish the Hawaiian con stitution of 1 887, or to adopt a form of government other than the one sanc tioned by the said constitution, until a definite and final adjustment of the Hawaiian matter shall have been made by the United States.

RUMBLING OF DISCONTENT Predictions That Coxey' Commonweal Army Will XMsbead. Gaithersbukg, ML, April 28.- The Journey of the army yesterday, though over good roads, was more than un usually weary, because of the succes sion of high hills and deep valleys. A halt was made for ten minutes' rest at Clarksburg. In response to a request br one of the spectators, Coxey made a ten minutes' speech. At Green Center, when lunch was had, Coxey again spoke. The tramp "was then resumed, and without incident, the arm? march ed in here at 3 o'clock and went into camp about three-quarters of a mile from the center of the hamlet. There are rumblings of discontent in the army, and there are predictions the army, though it seems scarcely prob able, may go to 'pieces before Rock- ville is reached. Hard tack and coffee alone for two days is evidently caus ing some grumbling. Mineral Product of Canada. Ottawa, Ont., April 27.

Congress and tho Washington public have been for the past 10 days in much the same condition as the patriarch Job was while the messengers of evil were arriving. First came the news of one railroad strike,- and then every morning and evening brought additional message on tha progress of Coxey's, Kelly's, Frye's and other armies, and then a messenger telling of the great railroad strike in the northwest, and while he was yet speaking there came another telling that 120,000 coal miners hail quit work; that there was another decline in farm produce, and stocks in Wall street were depressed. The discussion in the sen ate by Messrs. Allen, Peffer, Ilawley and others resulted as such things always do. The men who aimed to speak a pood word for the invaders said moro in the heat of the debate than they intended and arc de nounced accordingly as demagogues, dis turbers of the peace, apologists for anarch ists and all the other pet names which are used in such cases.

Out of the hurly burly and experience with the first bodies to arrive came a very sensible conclusion on the part of the Dis trict government and f edoral authorities that is, to do nothing, but bo prepared to do everything if necessary. The capitol police declare their ability to enforce the rules in the building, and outside the in vaders can do as the workingmen's asso ciation from Philadelphia did. No proces sions being allowed on the capitol grounds, these men marched in military order to the Peace monument in front of the Pennsyl vania avenue entrance, then broke ranks and went up the steps and into the capitol as individuals. They made their protest, had an excursion, saw a good deal and pos sibly had some fun, but the results in leg islation were told a century before by the poet who set forth how The kins of France with forty thousand men Marched up the hill and then marched down again. The workmen set a good precedent. Coxey's army and all tho others will do the same thing and with the same results. Residents and casual visitors have tacitly agreed to givo up the galleries and most of the other places about the capitol to the invader., and it is quito likely that for two or three days of next week those clas sic halls will present a peculiar show of mottled humanity. So far good, and no body is uneasy about that part of it, but suppose a few thousands of them conclude to stay here tmtil the bounty of their friends is exhausted and then try their mild form of blackmail on the residents. Tho very most that Colonel Redstone and his colaborers will promise is that the army will be fed by them for two days, and Coxey declares that after ho has deliv ered them at tho foot of Capitol hill his connection with them is ended. The real wonder is that provisions enough have boon contributed to feed the invaders two days, but Colonel Redstone promises that if their petition is not listened to and complied with in that time they will march right out of town again. It appears that they are a remarkably sanguine as well as a very accommodating set of reformers. After their repulse and retreat, says Red stone, will instantly follow a great popu lar uprising which will wipe tho old par ties out of existence, pulverize corruption, restore tho reign of purity and justice and close tho century with the opening of the workingmau's millennium. Well, worse things might hr ppen. The TariiT Discussion. All this time the senate has continued to drone away on the tariff, sometimes with as many as 20 senators in the cham ber, but oftcner with only five; tho houso has hammered away on the appropri;ioii bills, dragging into the discudbion every possible political issue from tha loyalty of a claimant in Tennessee to the contribu tion of would lie Minister Van Alcn and the honesty of John Wanamaker, and the plaintiff in Pollard versus Breckinridge has persistently urged a speedy settlement of the question of a new trial. Urged on by her eagerness, her attorneys have noti fied her opponents that argument thereon must begin today and bo concluded as soon as possible. Public opinion in the meantime has not changed unles it be in the direction of emphasizing tho justice of the verdict and concluding that the de fendant is very unwise in wanting a new trial. In the senate Mr. Voorhees is con fident that the discussion may yet Ixj end ed early in June, while Mr. Dolph is posi tive it will continue to Septernlx?r, and Mr. Allen saj s he sees no reason why it should end at all till thi.5 congress expires. This is only what he has ofte said and backed it up by tho statement that there are enough ablcbodied Republicans to keep tho 6pcechnmkirg going right on indefi nitely. Of cov:rse he wants a closure rule, as Senator Hill does, and Mr. Voorhees is of the opinion that such a rule could be adopted on this bill after the debate has run well into the hottest weather. A Compliment to Senator liOde. Of all tho speeches so far delivered none has attracted such wide attention among the critics as those of. Senators Lodge and Turpie. Mr. Lodge has a national reputa-. tion as writer and scholar, while Mr. Tur pie has so far had but a local reputation, and that chicSy as a jurist. He is, how ever, a very remarkable scholar, probably tho best informed man in the senate on art, architecture and History. He is tho stand ard authority on all questions there con cerning the great painters and architects, ond in concise scholarly sentences his ad dress has rarely been equaled. The de mand for his speech is already great, and his exposition of what ho considers true Democracy will be a campaign document. Tho senate committee on public lands has decided to favor the bill for settling tho t'.isputed claims arising under tho 'timber tulture act and will probably recommend ksmo general measure for disposing of the arid land conditioned on guarantees that the grantees will establish some general system of reclamation. The house commit tee on irrigation of arid land is practically a unit against extending any government aid whatever, and so it is of no consequence what the senate wishes on that subject. Members from the far western states are. however, so earnest in favor of some gen eral scheme of reclamation that they will take the best bill they can get now and trust to getting a better one from a Repub lican house of representatives, which they expect with certainty in 1895-7. R. J. STEWART IN JAIL. Tho A. O. IT. W. Financltr Says Ho Hm Been Done a Great Wrong. Robert J. Stewart, the defaulting treasurer of the two local lodges of the United Workmen, whose arrest was an nounced in last night's Journai, has been confined in the Shawnee county jail since being taken into custody, and the probabilities are that he will stay there for some time to come. Stewart is unable to get bondsmen in Topeka, and his only hope of freedom is that some of his wife's relatives may come to his rescue and furnish the requisite 1,000 security. Air. Stewart was seen in the corridor of the county jail today by a Journal reporter. He was walking up and down the corridor restlessly in deep thought. He was spoken to four times before be realized that he was being addressed. "I haven't got anything to say,?' he said. "I have been done a great injus tice." "What is the injustice?" "That's all right; I haven't a thing to say. I have been done a great wrong, a great wrong." "Since your admissions of guilt, do you intepd to plead guilty?" I don't want to talk about it, and that settles it." TOPEKA'S HOME GUARD This Town Into Coxeyism to a Limited Extent. MEETING TO BE HELD TONIGHT At .Representative Hall at Which, the Home Guard of the Commonweal of Christ Will be Organized. The second meeting in Topeka in the interest of the Commonweal of Christ will be held tonight at Representative hall at the state house. According to the plan outlined by Commander G. C. Clemens, of the Kansas contingent of General Coxey's army, to night's meeting will be one of organiza tion. Mr. Clemens, as he saidin his speech last Saturday night, does not propose to lead a foot brigade on to Washington, but his plan is to organize a home guard and tonight's meeting will be for the purpose of completing the formation of the home guard Noah Alien, who has charge of the ar rangements for tonight's meeting, says it will be a state meeting aud that he has assurance that Coxeyites will be present from Emporia and several other neigh boring towns, for the purpose of getting pointers for the organization of local divisions of the Kansas Home Guard. Tonight's speeches are to be limited to ten minutes each and all speakers are ex pected to sit down when they, get through. CoL Fred Close will make a speech tonight, as will also John Mad den, the man who is talked of as a can didate for congress in this district-! against Charles Curtis. General Artz and G. C. Clemens will be on hand and will talk as usual. It is also expected that Albert Griffin and Frank Forrest will occupy ten minutes each. While the meeting is in progress to night at Representative hall, the South western Kansas army will be organized at Wichita under the leadership of I. P. Campbell, a Populist lawyer, who is be ing boomed for the nomination of attor ney general on the anti-administration ticket. At a meeting of the Populist league last night the Coxey meeting of tonight was the one theme of discussion. Gen. Artz made the principal speech, in which he said he hoped to see 500 men ready" to enlist at tonight's meeting. In conclu ding his address he said; "If we are re fused a hearing by congress then 'By the Eternal' they will hear a racket in this country that will cause Coxey's army to sink into insignificance."

Wichita, A pril 28. The local believers In the Coxey movement will meet to night to express the public sentiment of Wichita dn the Coxey movement. L P. Campbell, the well known Populist, has issued a-call in which he says: "There will be a public meeting at the city building, Saturday, April 28, 1894, at 8 p. in., for the purpose of giving expressions on the movement known as the 'Coxey movement' Let us come to gether as friends and citizens irrespec tive of previous condition to do what lit tle we may to direct both the movement, for we cannot control it, and their recep tion at Washington. This is a matter that concerns the welfare of every citi zen." This meeting has been in contempla tion for some time and some red hot speeches are expected to be made at it It may also result in the formation of a division of the army here. Quite a num ber desire to go to join the commonweal, but as yet no leader has been found. A good bppprtunity is offered to somebody who is thirsting for passing fame and it is a matter of surprise why some one has not already offered to embrace it K. U. COMMENCEMEXT.

A Wheat Thief at Mcl'herion Captured In His Hiding Place. McPhkrson, April 28. Frank Brown and William Barclay, two young men of Castle township, have been arrested here charged with stealing wheat of E. L Al ger, near Wheatland The wheat was hauled to Galva and sold The parties were tracked by the wheat which they unloaded in the basin to enable them to get through. The men returned to Mc pherson after they had disposed of the grain and were arrested towards evening. One of the men hid in the lumber yard corner of Ash and Marlin streets. His whereabouts were betrayed by his dog which was tied at one of the livery sta bles. Being unloosed the dog followed by the officers went directly to his mas ter. A warrant was issued charging the same parties and A. Brown jr., and a brother of Barclay's with being the parties who recently burglarized Clar ence Hawkinson's hardware store in Marquette.

The Hahnemann School of Medicine closed its successful year's wjork last eve ning with a very enjoyable" party,held at the office of Dr. Eva Harding. Dr. Harding's four', rooms' were taste fully decorated with cut flowers and palms, and the evening's pleasures con sisted in a few speeches and a general social time. Dr. Eva Harding and her sister, Dr. Agnes Haviland, were the best of host esses. The Hahnemann school is the only homeopathic school in the city. It was organized last fall, and the lectures were delivered in the evenings. Although this school is yet in its infancy, there are thirty-two matriculates.

Washington, April 28. Forecast till 8 p. to. Sunday: For Kansas Generally fair; cooler Sunday; south shifting to west winds. Tiik Midwinter fair seems to have got lost in the crowd of circuses. How disappointed Coxey would be if congress should give him and his whole army a job working on the roads. If other and worse cranks than Citizen Train were as anxious as he to get into jail a good many problems would soon be solved.. The number of sick congressmen is unusally large. The country Is just as sick but has to keep on working to pay their salaries. It was not until bo many wings of Coxey's army were formed that the coun try began to think the industrials were getting too fly. The nearest the eastern division of commonwealers could come to getting transportation was to capture George Francis Train. If the numerous armies continue to have to walk, instead of having a peti tion with boots on they will be glad to get it In barefooted. What a pity that William McGarrah an, who died without having his long standing claim settled didn't think of organizing an army. The report that the senate would vote immediately on the tariff bill proved too good to be true. Besides it lacked all the elements of probability. From the number of guards being placed around the White House it is evident Cleveland has no overweening desire to become a martyr. Hobo Hogan'b men hadn't learned the first principle of revolutionists that "eter nal vigilance is the price of liberty." or they would never have been caught nap ping. A modern Jeanne d'Arc riding a white horse, is to lead a band of commonweal ers out of Chicago. From the clor of the horse this looks like the reds were rising. Cleveland Democrats in Colorado are called "White Wings" Democrats. The discovery of white winged cuckoos is likely to be received with great surprise and pleasure by ornithologists. Gravebkmd was included in the bill passed by the legislature for Greater New York. The town that could pro duce John Y. McKane was too good a thing for Tammany not to have it. Governor Flower is doing all he can to make himself the logical Democratic candidate. He said to the New York legislature that if it didn't do as he said he would veto the appropriation bills, and he did it. The different disturbances all over the country will result in the diffusion of certain kinds of intelligence if nothing more. People now know the names of the governors of a dozen states that they couldn't have told before if their lives depended on it. The Journal publishes today two po litical editorials from the Iola Register which state the gubernatorial situation strongly and fairly. The weakness of Morrill as a candidate and the strength of Hoch as the standard bearer are point edly presented. There is now only 5iX),000 to spare in the treasury gold reserve. In an easy going, shiftless, improvident Democratic administration this arouses no alarm, for It is easy to borrow and make it up they think, if the amount falls below the mark of $100,000,000. But to men of honor it would be a stinging reproach. That Secretary Carlisle feels no such shame is doubtless due to his Kentucky training. To be a hail fellow well met, to take a drink with every one and owe all your friends from five to a hundred dollars, is the idea of a good fellow in the Blue Grass country. This however, is not a good year for Kentucky standards. What the country wants is men who can do, and the people will see to it that men of business honor and statesmanship take the places of these listless and apathetic voluptuarie- STATE J oy THE OXE HAXD. I From the Iola Register. J Do the Republicans of Kansas want a defensive campaign, prosecuted chiefly upon national issues with the silver ques tion uppermost, or do they want an of fensive, aggressive campaign, chiefly upon state issues with the redemption of Kansas from Populist misrule as the bat tle cry? Those are the questions that must be answered when the choice of a candi date for governor is made. The nomination of Major Morrill must inevitably, In bur judgment, result in the kind of a campaign indicated by the first question. The- Populists will at once attack. Mr. Morrill as a 'void-bug," as a banker, as a man of wealth whose interest Is all in the direction of keeping money dear and whose sympathies are all with the "money power." They will charge that he was nominated because he had "bar'L," They will declare that no poor man has any show to win the highest honors In the Republican party. And they will point to Mr. Morrill's nomination as proof of all they have charged against the Republican party as the party of the corporations and the "plutocrat.? They will howl these things through every newspaper and from every stump every day and hour from the mo ment he is nominated till the polls are closed. And the. howl will have its ef fect. 'No matter how false it is. No mat ter how irrelevant it may be. No matter how we may ridicule and denounce it. There are men who will be influenced by it. It may not lose us many Republican votes, but-it will hold the Populist votes to their own party. For it will put us at once on tfee defensive and keep U3 there. It will divert attention from the record of the Le welling administration and keep us hammering away on the money ques tion which is not properly an issue in a state campaign instead of allowing us to give all our time in smashing Popu- li8m" r OX T&E OTHER HAXD. From the Iola Register. The nomination of Mr. Hoch, on the other hand, would force the campaign on state issues with the Populists on the defensive. There could be no attack made upon Mr. Hoch from any Populist standpoint, except that he is a Republi can. He is a poor man. He is not in any way entangled with any corporation. He is known to be friendly to silver. No possible pretext could be found, therefore, for switching the fight off bnto unnecessary or irrelevant issues. We could concentrate the guns of all our batteries directly on Populism, its stupidities Rod blunders and crimes. We could smite it hip and thigh, for its as saults upon the credit of Kansas, for its infamous slander against the state for its incompetency, its dishonesty, and its treason to the constitution and the laws. And we could appeal to the people for their love of country, for their love and jealous regard for the state, for their love of law and protection of property, to come out from such a party and ut terly destroy it. That is the kind of a campaign we coujd make with Mr. Hoch; and it is the kind of a campaign we must make. It is the kind of a campaign the Populists most fear. The Republican party is not on trial here in Kansas. It is the "Reformers" who are on trial, and the prosecution should be aggressive, punishing, relent less.' With the opportunity for such a campaign within our grasp it would be inexcusable stupidity for the Republican party to deliberately place itself in a position where it would be disarmed of its strongest weapon and compelled to parry blows instead of giving them. We trust that no Republican will mis understand the attituda of the Register toward Mr. Morrill. We have the highest personal regard for him. We believe he is thoroughly honest, sincere, con scientious and patriotic, and that he would give the state a splendid adminis-, tration. And the only reason we do not favor his nomination is because we do not believe he can get as many votes as Mr. Hoch can get. We believe that his nomination would force us into a defen sive campaign chiefly on national issues. And we believe that' the party would be 20,000 votes stronger in an offensive cam paign chiefly on state issues. Lawyer James McNacght of the Northern Pacific has received a telegram from an ex-United States senator who wants to know whether we are to have "law or larceny order or anarchy." Mr. McNaught wouldn't give bis name or state but the picturesqueness of the expression warrants the suspicion that John James Ingalls is within communicating dis tance. A prominent railroad official has ex pressed the opinion that the frequency of miners' strikes in the country will be the means of hastening the perfection and adoption of electricity on railroads. That the railroads could not afford to be hampered as much in the future as they have in the past by miners' strikes. The alacrity with which the Demo crats fell in with Senator Aldrich's scheme to vote at once on the Wilson bill, shows how alarmed they are at what they have already done, and how anxious they are to make an end of a bad busi ness. t Kexxt. bases the right of his cause on higher -ground than the constitution, and, thereby may save himself trouble that the other leaders will fall into.

APRLL' 28, WHEELS IN HIS HEAD. Cranks the Product of a Nerxpusly Organized People. IRE KOT ALL AT WASHINGTON. Cranks Xot Confined ts the National Capital Reformer Called Cranks. i Special Correspondence. Washington, April 2 6. Washington is no longer the paradise of cranks and deadbeats that it was some,. 20 years ago. Beau Hickman is dead, and Dr. Mary Walker is in retirement. Her al ter ego, that mysterious woman with gray curls whose very name is forgot ten, and who came from no one knows where, vanished as suddenly from the capital and has been heard of no more. Colonel Maurice Finchover, who tor mented every new member of congress with his claim against the Pennsylva nia railroad for $2, 000, 000, of which he asserted that Tom Scott had robbed him, became violent at last and died in a lu A HARANGCE TS THE HOCSE. natic asyl am. All that strange drift of humanity which poured into the dis trict from every direction eoon after the war has been wasted away by death, lunacy commission or gentle restraint by friends until very few are left, and a comparatively harmless set has taken its place. The approach of Coxey's army, how ever, has warmed into life all the queer and creeping things of the capital, and from miserable tenements in the back districts, from obscure rooms in cheap hotels and even from lonely old farm houses in the adjacent country the long haired men and the short haired women have appeared on the streets and at tempted to organize in bands of wel come. For the most part they carry plain evidence of diseased minds, espe cially in eyes which sometimes show the glare of unreasonable anger, oftener a painful vacancy and frequently the un easy, feverish light seen in the eye of a hunted animal. Cranks at the White House. What becomes of all the cranks any how? Lawrence, the painter who snap ped a pistol twice at President Jackson, lived for 85 years in a lunatic asylum. Guiteau, as everybody knows, died by the rope, and, although the weight of opinion is that he was really insane, yet events have shown that his execution was wise and justifiable, for no subse quent attempt has been made upon the life of a president. It is true that scarce ly a week passes without a call at the White House by some crank who insists upon seeing the president, but it is very seldom that any such are arrested. Old residents tell many queer stories about panics in the White House in the days when presidents were not so carefully guarded as now. In that dark period of John Tyler's administration when one woe trod upon another's heels, so fast did they follow the killing of two members of tie cabinet by the bursting of the big gun, the hanging of another member's son on the government's brig Somers and other minor tragedies many threatening messages were re ceived, and the political animosity against Mr. Tyler was so great that he took febese messages seriously. One day a mysterious looking box wa3 delivered at the White House and was at once pronounced an infernal machine. After much trepidation the coachman consent ed to open it very cautiously, and in it was the model of a patent stove and a letter from the inventer requesting the president to see that the proper patent was issued at once. Tbe Good Roads Idea. Conspicuous among the cranks of to day is Colonel Redstone, whose mission it is to prepare congress and the public generally for the wonderful reform which the Good Roads association is. to bring about. Every day he may be Been in the hall of the house for an hour or so before the session opens distributing his crazy documents and buttonholing members. At first he was something of a nuisance to the statesmen, but now he no sooner takes his stand at a desk than he is surrounded by a crowd of visitors, pages and loafers, who proceed to guy him with all sorts of ridiculous questions and jokes on his mission and personal appearance. He is so awfully serious, however, that very little fun can be made out of him. At other-times he hastens back and forward between Rechabite hall and other resorts of the unemployed, canvasses the hotel lobbies or holds forth on the street corners. The singular feature of the Redstone-Coxey programme is its moderation. They only ask an issue of $500,000,000 in "green backs, while no other financial reformer of that class speaks of starting in with less than $2,000,000,000, and the favor ite amount with most of them is $50 per capita. Social Curiosities. Most noted of our present cranks is "the stuffed man," a son of the once eminent Jndge Dun lap of Georgetown. He was educated at Heidelberg and in herited a competence, but developed an idea that he was the glass of fashion and the mold of form when properly dressed. His chest and shoulders are puffed out, with padding to an amazing extent, and he drears a child's chip hat on the crown of his long and curiously shaped head. In .this queer getup he joed ou tae. street .Ocautes, standing erect and motionless aometimes for an hour at a time and threatening wi th de struction any who laugh at him or even stop long to gaze. Another local curios ity, though a man of average sense, is Rig Headed Parken. He is a small man, but has the largest head in the world and enjoys fairry good health withaL The fact that he has sold this head to a scientific association adds not a little to the interest he excites. There is one man -who made a bet against Cleveland's election in 1892 the terms of which were that if be lost he was to play the cornet for one year on the streets and live on what he received for it. He seldom played over an hour a day and was so generously rewarded that he lived like a prince. There is a Frenchman with a scheme for laying out the Potomac fiats in immense flow er beds of red, white and blue, repre senting the American flag. He also has a scheme for a new system of sewerage, the pipes to be above ground and paint ed gorgeously in the national colors. Of course he has a bill which he wants congress to pass and has hammered away for years making the lives of new congressmen a burden. He is really something of an engineer and on other subjects quite intelligent. A Favorite Subject. The committee on education and la bor suffers most from these fellows, and its chief business is to prevent them from annoying other members. Hun dreds of bills are brought to this com mittee almost every session, and it is worth noting that the most gorgeous schemes are generally sent in by the sor riest looking specimens of humanity, and the bills calling for largest expendi tures and promising most wonderful re turns are mostly by men who dwell in 15 cent lodging houses and get their meals by chance. Even, here, however, there is cheering evidence that Wash ington is no longer the crank heaven it was from 18p5 to 1875 or a little later. In those days the committees were sim ply overwhelmed, and as it was a time of general nnsettlement of old ideas and rash experiments a hearing was given to everybody. The great army of the queer and crazy descended upon Wash ington, and every valid attempt at re form was made ridiculous by their ex treme views. Woman suffrage, for in stance, became a phrase of contempt among congressmen because of the wild eyed creatures who used it as a starting point to advocate polygamy, polyan dry, the agapemone, the phalanstery and other systems of so called free love. In view of her subsequent history jt is curious to recall the address of Victoria Woodhull before the senate judiciary committee, the respect with which she was listened to and the high praise be stowed upon her production. It ought to have been able, for it was written by Theodore Tilton. The experience of that time put an end to such hearings before the committees. Insane on One Subject. Labor reform was another victim of the excessive zeal of the cranks. Finan cial reform was simply laughed out of court. The movement to put God in the constitution and recognize Christianity by national law was so completely crushed that it is only of late that any congressman could be found willing to listen to an argument on it. Temperance reform was simply run in the ground. But of all the subjects on which there was discussion at that time none fur nished the cranks with so varied and at tractive a field as the negro. The future historian will probably say that the American people then went insane on that subject, as the English did at one time on "popish plots. A Blitit to a-itiinate Reform. The panic of 1873 knocked the non sense out of most of these people, and the fearful scandals of that year and the three following purified the moral atmosphere and gave a new form to Washington crankism. Since then near ly all the great schemes have been pro jected in aid of labor, and here again the curse of crankism comes to blight legitimate reform. What ought to be done and might easily be done to appease the discontented to some extent is pre vented by the moral cowardice of mem bers who are afraid of being classed with wild eyed visionaries, and let a man make ever so modest a suggestion about silver or incomes or reduced tax- J atipn he is at once assailed as an ally of communists, an enemy of property and a disturber of the proper relations between capital and labor. It was ever thus. Martin Luther said that tli e pope and the priests did not give him half as much concern as the wild men like S torch and Munzer. Re ligious fanaticism has also become a feature of crank ery in this city, and with brilliant schemes to make every body rich with paper money are min gled equally brilliant ones to scare them to heaven by a law of congress. All this time the Coxey cohorts and allied bod ies continue to advance, and puzzled cit izens continue to ask, What will they do when they get here? It is a symptom, only a symptom, of a general disease pro duced by the peculiar conditions and much brooding over their troubles by our supersensitive and nervously organ ized American people. J. EL BEADLB. 1894. A VERY HAPPY VVOMAN And Indeed She Has Good Reason to Be Joyous. HOW IT ALL CAME ABOUT. A. Most Attractive Kcw "Vorlc Lady Xelin Her Remarkable xper. lence It la Exceedingly Interesting. One would have to travel a long dis tance and search thoroughly to find a more bright, attractive and pleasing lit tle lady than Mrs. Cross, who resides at No. 826 West 23d street, New York. She is the wife of Mr. Clarence Cross, who is an expert telegrapher, connected with. the Western Union Company. Seated in her parlor a few evenings since, in a pleasant conversation, I was told a story which in interest and importance I have never heard excelled. "You would not think," said Mrs. Cross in a naive manner, "that I ever knew what trouble, unhappiness and pain were, but, nevertheless, I think few women have ever gone through what I have. About a year ago I paid a visit to Boston, and while there began to feel very strangely. My head ached, I had no appetite, I coughed constantly, and began wasting away at a terrible rate. My complexion grew sallow, dark lines came around my eyes. I felt no ambi tion, I was entirely discouraged. These things continued until I finally became so sick I was compelled to go to the hos pital, iney were exceedingly Kind to me there, but it was more than two months before I could leave, and then I almost felt myself to be a physical and mental wreck. Uict 1 consult doctors! Yes, indeed, many a time, but somehow I gained no strength, and was losing in flesh constantly. You would hardly be lieve it, but at that time I weighed only 85 pounds." "And did you not get very much dis couraged?" "Certainly, but I tried to be as brave as possible, although I felt that there was but little hope. All my mother's family died of consumption, and as I once had a severe attack of pneumonia, I feared that my time of life might be short from the same cause. I returned to New York and tried to be brave and cheerful, but I certainly did not feel that way. My husband said it seemed to him that I had every kind of disease known to the world. It was at this time that a friend said to me: I do think you need the medicines and drugs you are taking. Why not drop the cod liver oil, and other nauseating and disgust ing medicines, and try some good food something that will build you up and strengthen you?' I told her that I would be glad to do so, but did not know what to take. She kindly gave me a bottle of food which she told me had done great things for some of her friends. And now comes the surprising part of my story. While in that weak, emaciated condition, weighing less than 90 pounds, I began to take the food. The very first day my appetite grew better, and soon I began to reiisn other roods. Soon after wards, I noticed that my flesh and strength were increasing, and that my complexion was getting better, j Then it seemed to me that I could not get enough to eat. I ate heartily three times a day meat, eggs, and nourishing food, and slept soundly every night. I was so happy and so were my friend3, that I continued taking the food, and, to make a long story short, I am, as you see me now, weighing 113 pounds, gaining flesh every day, feeling like a girl of sixteen, and I owe it all to the wonderful I al most might say, miraculouspower of Paskola, the great pre-digested food, which has done so much for me. "You think I am enthusiastic about it? Well, why should I not be? Would you not be if you had been helped I might almost say saved as I was? Of course, I have recommended it to my friends, and I have yet to find a single person who has not been benefited by its use. I do not think that people and women especially need drugs or medicines to keep them in health when afflicted as I was. What I do.think they need is good, sustaining, strengthening food, which does not require any effort on the part of the stomach to digest it, and this is cer tainly the power Paskola possesses it goes at once into the blood, strengthen ing and making new life. I believe if women knew these truths more generally, there would be less sickness, less sallow ness, and more happiness among them than there is. "Is Paskola like cod liver oil? Not at alL Instead of being nauseus, it Is pleasant to lake. It don't make you sick at stomach. "I have never been more Impressed by the words and appearance of any person than I was of Mrs. Cross. Her manner was so sincere, her words so earnest, her nature so buoyant, and her health, as every look and movement indicated, so perfect, that I could hardly realize that the little lady who was conversing had once been so great an invalid, and so near to death's door, and 1 could not but feel that if women throughout America could know the means by which she had been so benefited, and avail themselves of it, it might mean much for the health, beauty and happiness of American women.

This truth is acknowl edged by the best doctors, the most renowned scientific men and the highest author ities in the worjd. Through out all Europe, in every part of America, and even in Australia and other dis tant lands, it is admitted to be the standard, the only remedy for men and women whose blood has become de ranged, for men who are unaccountably debilitated, and for women whose lives do not pursue th.eir normal course.

Chicago, April 28. Lem McGregor, otherwise known as the St. Joe Kid, was arrested last night on a vagrancy war rant. The police claim that McGregor has been living in Chicago for some time without Visible means of support and that they wanted to discourage idleness. Capt Duffy said there were too many pugilists in the city who never worked and that he was determined that they should do some honest labor or leave town.

Tomlinson, editor of the Daily Democrat, takes exception to the conclusion of the article in last evening's JotTRNAL, on the rumor that Hon. David Overmyer would be appointed by Presi dent Cleveland recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. Mr. Tomlinson thinks the report itself 13 absurd; that Overmyer is the last man Senator Martin would thtnk-of naming to President Cleveland for that position, even if he should be consulted by the president, which is doubtful. Moreover, in the very improbable event of President Cleveland naming Mr. Overmyer for the position, no change whatever would be effected in the politi cal situation in this state. It would not under any circumstances leave "the field clear for fusion." Another "Democratic Surrender" is out of the question. The Democrats intend to have a "straight-out" Democratic state ticket. If Mr. Overmyer should be appointed to the above position which is highly improbable it would simply remove one candidate of, possibly, many. Carroll, Humphrey, Lowe, Jones, or some good. popular Democrat would receive the gu bernatorial nomination. In no conceivable way, Col. Tomlinson thinks, can Senator Martin or the fusion Democrats prevent the nomination of a straight-out" Democratic state ticket in Kansas this year. What Gov. Oltek Says. Pension Agent Geo. W. Glick in speak ing of the report of the office of regis ter of deeds of the District of Columbia being offered to David Overmyer, said: 'I don't believe there is anything in the story, as Overmyer could hardly afford to give up his law practice here in To peka and go to Washington on a salary of $3,000 a year. That is all that office is worth now; it is not the snap it used to be. The fees of the office now are turned into the treasury of the United States. The man who gets that office must be endorsed Ly John Martin, and he and Overmyer are bitter enemies, and I don't believe Martin would endorse his enemy under any circumstances. I don't believe Overmyer is a candidate for the office." Band Concert at 4arnlI Part. Marshall s military band will give a concert at Garfield park tomorrow after noon, commencing at 3 o'clock.

Mr. Zellers Passed Away Last Klsht St 11 :30 His Loss Boflertscs. Edward Zellers died of Bright's disease and brain trouble at his home at 415 Bu chanan street, last night at 11:30 o'clock, after an illness covering a period of about three months. Mr. Zellers was 42 years of age. He came to Topeka from Iowa and has been in the employ of the Santa Fe for the past eight or ten years. He was at the time of his death foreman of the blaclmithing department of. the shops. He was a plain man, a Christian, a member of the Methodist church, and a pood citizen: a member of the Masonic order and of Irwin lodge No. 60 A. O. U. W., and stood high in the estimation-or his friends. The funeral arrangements have not yet been decided on, further than that he will be buried here, proba bly tomorrow afternoon. The obsequies at the home will necessarily be private, because of the presence of Bcarlet fever in the house. Mr. Zellers, it is said by an intimate friend of the family, has for about a year been the victim of mental worry which is one of the immediate causes of his death. At the time of the Santa Fe strike a year ago, Mr. Zellers was employed in the Santa if e blacksmith shop and was in charge of the "big fire." iHe was not a member of the union and when the un ion men walked out he told the Santa Fe officials that he had a wife and ba bies to care for and while he did not want to be considered as opposing the action of the strikers, still he could not afford to quit work when he could just as well be earning a living for himself and family. Mr. Zellers worked, through the troub lous times and when the strike was over he was Dromoted to the uosition of foreman of the blacksmithing deparment. Some of the strikers when they re turned to work objected to working un der "a non-union man" and he had trouble at times with some of the men under him, although the trouble was not always open. At one time it Is stated Air. Zellers was directed to discharge a man in his department who had been with the strik ers and the officials who ordered him to discharge this man told him he must find his own reason lor getting tne man out of the company's employ. Mr. Zellers ordered this man to do a piece of work a certain way and the man objected. This objection led to hot words between the two men, and finally to the discharge of the objectionable employe. I his action of Mr. Zellers made him more obnoxious than ever to the old men, who were still retained in the shop, al though the new men who came in after the strike never had any trouble with the foreman, who appears to have been ordinarily a good boss. f requent incidents liKe this worried Mr. Zellers, and he was taken sick a few months ago. He went back to work be fore his friends thought it advisable. and Master Mechanic Smith advised him to take a vacation and go to Las Vegas hot springs, but he insisted on going back to the shops. About ten days ago he was again taken sickand was forced to leave the shops. He gradually grew worse, and as the disease obtained a firmer hold on him, it was more apparant than ever to his friends that his mind was affected. This sad story of Mr. Zellers' trouble was given to a State Journal reporter from an in-' timate friend of the deceased, who ob tained it from his own lips. This friend, Mr. C. E. Gault, says there can be no doubt but that the worry about his work at the shops is directly respon sible for the death of Mr. Zellers. BIG SLIT FOR DAMAGES. A Santa. Fe Employe Sues for Malicious Imprisonment. William J. Moorhead, a Santa Fe brakeman, who lives in Denver, has filed a case in the United States district court against the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railway for damages in the sum of $50,000. Moorhead was arrested January 26, 1893, with many others of the employes of the road in that section, who were charged with a systematic robbery of Santa Fe freight cars in Colorado. The evidence against the accused men in the trial was not strong enough to con vict, and they were all acquitted. Moor head claims his arrest and prosecution was malicious, and he wants damages in the sum named above for injury done to his reputation and the loss of his job, which he says was paying $1,000 a year. He was unable to give bond at the time of his arrest add' he was conflaed in the La Junta jail thirty-seven days. He has a wife and three children. Waters Waters are Moorhead's attorneys. COXEYITES IN OKLAHOMA. The Rock Island Anticipates Trouble in the Territory.

There is not a single village in the country large enough to boast its regular physician or drug Btore where- Paine's celery compound is not being more largely used this month than any other remedy. It is known wherever progress and enlightenment have pushed the rail road or the newspaper. Paine's celery compound is the very utmost the medical research of today can do for the exhausted, badly-nourished nerves and thin, impure blood. It goes straight to the cause of the mischief in the many forms of disease resulting from nervous debility and insqficlent or vitia ted blood. A thousand painful symptoms arise from these two prime causes. Cor rect the nerves and blood with Paine's celery compound and the entire system must get well; diseases of particular parts disappear, and strength- and health by ELKS AND THE CIRCUS. There Was a Carre Audlenoe Present Lut Evening. Sells Rentfrow's "Great Syndicate Show and Paris Hippodrome" gave its first performance of the present circus season for the benefit of the Topeka lodge of Elks last night on the vacant tract near Fourteenth and Harrison streets. The attendance outside was so large before the doors opened that for a time an overflow meeting in the side show was held. Those who took the Elks advertise ment in sober earnest and expected to see Lee Jones ride the elephant and A. B. Campbell deposit himself on the back of the "herd" of camels, or witness trapeze work by T. J. Anderson, were doomed to disappointment. The only part the Elks took in the performance was to assist taking tickets at the main entrance. Everything about the circus was new except, perhaps the canvas, and the costumes and banners looked pretty. The tumbling and trapeze work was decidedly creditable although the performers took an occasional tumble. The performance is repeated this after noon and evening. ROSEN MAY SITE THE CITY. If His Sewer Bid Is Not Accepted He Will Claim Damag-os. Contractor C. J. Rosen, who had sewer No. 16 haif completed before the work was enjoined, and whose second bid the city council has "referred," is not at all backward In admitting that if his bid is not accepted within a reasonable length of time he will bring a suit against the city to recover not only what money he has already sunk in the contract, but damages as welL After the work on the sewer, was en joined through an error at the city hall, by which the estimates for the work were not sworn to, the city began at the first and had new estimates prepared. Mr. Rosen was the only bidder the second time and his was $1,010 in excess of his original bid. Mr. Rosen claims he is en titled to this excess because his material has been on the ground six months and he has been paying interest on his money all that time. S. B. Isenhart, his attorney, said to a Journal reporter today that the damage suit would be brought, and he was wil ling to bet his life he can get a good sized judgment from any fair-minded jury. HE DIDN'T TALK 'And Astonished Every Ona About the Statehouse. Matthew McCook, a deaf mute of Du buque, Iowa, called on state officials to day. They were dumfounded at finding a Populist among them who couldn't talk, but when they recovered from their surprise the quiet man was well received. He is editor of the Deaf Mate Critic and is a very intelligent man. He con versed in his own language on topics of interest. Among other things, he said: "This Coxey movement is a big affair. I think people do not realize its magnitude but I believe that it will result in good." Mr. McCook is here looking for a lo cation for a paper for mutes. He says that mutes are nearly always Populists. FR031 THE RANKS. Charles A. Phillip is Made Captain ef Company A at Holten. Private Charles A. Phillips, of com pany A, Third regiment, K. N.

He was taken from the ranks and promoted over the other officers in response to a petition signed by the members of his company. The captain of the company Geo. H. Barker was promoted to the office of colonel of the regiment and since that time First Lieutenant Jacobs has been in command and the company became de moralized. Sergeant C A. Hodges, of Co. F, Third regiment, has been promoted second lieutenant. He is located at Concordia. Just now the ranks of the Third regi ment band at Minneapolis are sadly de pleted. Gen. Davis has issued honorable discharges for four members of the band. They are C C Cline, D. E. Stea ler, Morris Bloch and IL E. Eichaltz.

Paine's celery compound drives out diseases of the liver, heart, and kid neys by sending pure, sufficient blood, loaded with reconstructive material, through these vital organs, Instead of a watery, impure fluid that can neither nourish nor invigorate.

There is a great deal of speculation whether the case will be decided in favor of George D. Hale, the mayor's appointee, or Oscar Bischoff, the present incumbent. This will be known only when the court hands down its decision. It is known, however, that the court will hold, which ever way the case may be decided, that the assessment this year made by Mr. Bischoff, which the law says must be completed by May 1st, will be legal, inasmuch as the pres ent incumbent is the legal ansesaor pend ing the contest. ThuB, Mr. Hale would serve as assessor only one year, even though the case is decided in his favor, and Mr. Bischoff will have filled his two year term even if the case is decided ad versely to him. The assessment on real estate, which is made only once in two years, falls on this year, in addition to personal property and improvements. The decision of the supreme court, therefore, will do little more than decide whether a city assessor's term of office shall be one year or two. The laws of 1876 pertaining to cities of the first and second class, provided that the assessor should serve for one year. A subsequent law, however, which is supposed to take precedence, provides that a city asHeuHor with a group of other officers mentioned, "may" be appointed for a term of two years. It is on this legal point that Mr. Hale and Mr. Bischoff are fighting for the office. It pays three dollars a day when engaged on the assessment. AN OBJECT OF PITY. An Old Man Walks a Hundred Miles to See the Governor. Edward Lamb is C5 years old and the heavy hand of Time has not fallen ligiit lv upon him. He is almost blind and walks with difficulty. But that did nor deter him from making the trip from Garnett to Topeka on foot, a distance of more than a hundred miles. This poor old man, an outcast, without either friends or money, came to Topek.i to see Governor Lewelling. "He will see ?hat I am given my rights," he said, in a laltering voice. He says that society ha-j wronged him, but his story is that of a man whose mind is weak and unbal anced. Last winter he was examined before the probate judge as to his sanity, and declared sane by a jury. After that ho say he was kept in jail fifty-three day t. He wrote to Attorney General Little, who secured his release. Then be was taken to the poor house. He transgressed Borne rule and was re moved and not allowed to return. He Bet out for Topeka, arriving here yesterday. He saw the governor and was sent to At torney General Little. There he was told that nothing could be done for him. He left the state house last evening with a dejected look upon his face and disappeared down Ninth street, going, nobody, not even himself, knew where. GLICK ON OVERMYER. Be Doesn't Believe the Topelta Lawrer is a Candidate for Governor. Ex-Governor Geo. W. Glick is of tho opinion that the Democratic state con vention will nominate a state ticket at its meeting on the 3rd of July. To a State Journal reporter he said: "Yes, I believe a full state ticket will Lu nominated, and it will not be the ticket nominated at the June 12 convention, un less an agreement of some kind is inado beforehand." "I do not believe David Overmyer is a candidate for governor. He au doubt enjoys the advertising he gets by having his named used in that connectiou, but he thinks too much of his law business to be governor. As long as he can have his business advertised by being a talked about candidate I don't suppose he will object" Go out to Garfield park tomorrow af ternoon and heat the open air concert. by Marshall's band.

It is no more natural for bodies to gravitate toward the center of the earth th-n it is for Viavi to cure the dis eases peculiar to women.

ENCOURAGING PROGRESS MADE BY THE LOCAL COUNCILS OF WOMEN. Japan' Awakening Woman and Kiiiancc Another Woman's Congress Morals and the Balle A Chicago Experiment At lanta's Promise. When Frances E. "Willard, in her president's adiress at the national coun cil of 1891, sketched the growth she hoped for the council and outlined the plan of local councils of women in all the cities and towns of the nation, some of us thought her more of a dreamer than a seer, but, as month after month brings word of the formation of new councils in various important cities it begins to look as if her words were in deed prophetic Some who have not Watched the mar velous growth of interest in the council idea in its various developments may ask, "What is a local council of women and what is its Work?" Perhaps the best organized of the lo cal councils is that of Minneapolis, which held a four days' congress to mark its second annual meeting. It divides its work into 11 departments. During the entire year it holds monthly meetings, which are well attended, and at which the papers presented for discussion com pare favorably with the best produc tions in our current magazines. This council also makes a special point of the social reception of distinguished wo men visiting Minneapolis, and since in itself the council includes so many in terests it is scarcely likely that any wo man of note may not be classified under some one of its departments and thus become entitled to the social recognition which it is its pleasure to give, and which results in a mutual knowledge which cannot fail to be a gain both to the stranger within their gates and to the women of Minneapolis themselves. In Indianapolis the council of women has been interesting itself and the city council in questions of sanitation, a line of effort in which women may find work to do in almost any of our American cities. But, aside from their active work, the local councils must act as a great solvent of narrowness and prejudice, the prejudice' against our neighbor which arises as most of this sentiment does from ignorance of our neighbor and his motive. When black and white, Chris tian and Jew, philanthropist and rad ical reformer, club woman and W. C. T. U. worker sit side by side and listen to and. enter into friendly discussion as to what will best further the good of all their fellow citizens, an immense step in advance has been taken for wom en toward that freemasonry of sex which has been so helpful to men, and which women as yet understand so little. American Woman's Journal. Japan's Awakening. A silver stork 4 inches high was th9 souvenir given to the guests at the state banquet which terminated the ceremo nies of the imperial silver wedding in Japan. This was the occasion not only of royal festivities, but it marks in a way the approach of the Japanese wom en to social emancipation. It was de signed to indicate the sovereign's desire that the usages which have hitherto reg ulated the domestic life of Japan should be so far amended as to establish a near er approach to equality, if not an actual and thorough equality, between his male and female subjects. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the imperial marriage afforded a happy opportunity for this declaration, and for accompanying it with forms which could not be misap prehended. In ordinary national festi vals the emperor stands alone as the cen tral figure, and the observances pre scribed, whatever they may be, are ex clusively to his homage. In this instance the honors were not merely shared by the empress, but it was felt that they were in greater and worthier part ad dressed to her. Only twice before had she appeared with the sovereign in any public function, but now the em peror had resolved to show that the place of his wife was beside him and on his own level not beneath him, nor at a distance, in the subservient attitude which custom assigns to the women of this country. In every respect the inno vation was commendable and of excel lent promise. Its results may or may not be immediately apparent, but a blow has been struck by the highest power in the land against an abuse and evil which could no longer be made consistent with the pretentions to civilization which the empire is constantly striving to vindi cate. Tokio Correspondent. Woman and Finance. A Brooklyn young woman has been in the habit for several years of reading the market reports daily to her father. To make the occupation interesting to herself she sensibly asked questions, dis cussed situations and ended by becom ing a shrewd critic of affairs. Her fa ther admits with pride that some of his best investments were made upon her judgment and at her suggestion, and that more than once her sagacity avert ed a loss for him. That, however, women have to ac quire this financiering ability is evi denced by a recent remark of a well known capitalist and investor, a leading officer in one of the big insurance com panies, to the effect that he has put a stop to a practice in which he at one time considerably indulged. This was the advising of women in their financial affairs. Women who were friends of his, or who brought letters from friends of his, came to him constantly asking his opinion on investments and transac tions. He began by giving it as he would to a man, stating always that it was not infallible, merely the judgment of one mind, and deprecating responsibili ty for results. This qualification would be accepted at the time, but in the event of disaster to plans or steps he had ad vised he was frequently bitterly blamed. And now it is extremely difficult for a woman to get an opinion from him. THE WORLD Draped tailor costtime: a style much affected by the fashionable women of London and Paris. The skirt effect in this costume is something entirely new. These two recitals, taken together, i make an argument in favor of the grow- ing effort of women to .enlarge their knowledge of business affairs. The first story proves they are equal to acquir ing it, and the second certainly attests how much they stand in need of it -New York Times. Another Woman's Congress. The California Midwinter Interna tional exposition has had one result in the formation of a Woman's Congress association, which is to hold its meet ing this month, and which promises to be almost as brilliant and interesting as the woman's congress of the World's fair. The president of the board of man agers is Mrs. Abby Cheney, who is prominent in musical art and was for merly president of the Century club. She is said to have great executive abil ity combined with the dignity and grace which made Mrs. Pottor Palmer so ad mirable a presiding officer. She is the wife of John Vance Cheney, the poet. On the board of managers are such women as Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, the noted kindergartner and president of the "Golden Gate Normal Training school; Mrs. Edna Snell Poulson, anoth er famous educator, and Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson, the writer, sociologist and reformer. Mrs. May Wright Sewall and Airs. Henrotin, the vice president of the wo man's auxiliary of the World's fair, are among the speakers for May, and the board hopes to have Mrs. Potter Palmer deliver an address. The number of bright California women who will talk is legion. Among them are Margaret Collier Graham of Pasadena, a writer of short stories; Theodosia B. Shepherd of floricultural fame; Harriet M. Strong, on reform and social questions; Mrs. Sarah Pratt Carr, on tho outlook of Cal ifornia literature, and Mrs. Mary F. Mc Eoberts, who i3 well known in English political circles, on the legal status of women in different countries. San Francisco Letter. Slorals and the Xtallo. In my contact with such of my sex as I consider as belonging to class of thoughtful women I think the suffrage topic is one that is gaining much ground and seriously dwelt upon as a matter of grave importance. Among my acquaintances I count a large number of women of means widows and spin sters, dwelling in towns located through out the state, whose taxations contribute largely to the support of the places wherein they dwell and hold property. I think these women consider it not only unreasonable, but unjust, that they should not be allowed an active part in legislation. For my own part, I earnest ly desire the privilege of the ballot, and when it is granted to women I shall be glad to avail myself of it and give the subject personal attention upon every question at least that affects the inter ests of my sex. I believe that morals will be elevated by the association of 'women in legisla tion. When women are accorded the ballot, polling places will be located among better surroundings, kert in bet ter condition, well ordered and super vised, that it may not be a disagreeable duty for them. The inborn chivalry of the masculine voters will secure these advantages for tho opposite sex, even if consideration for their wives, mothers, daughters and sisters has not brought the subject to mind. Men of education, broad minded, high principled and gen erous hearted, are not averse to women being accorded tiie ballot, nor are they anxious or fearful that the privilege will in any degree conflict with the estab lished conditions of social life. Mrs. Russell Sage. A Chicago Experiment. The Domestic Science association has just organized at Chicago. It will un dertake to train women in "the lost arts of domesticity. It is hoped that laun dry work will not be omitted! from the programme, which includes cooking, general housekeeping, sewing, home nursing and physical culture. The ob ject of the association as given in the charter is to promote and develop the social and industrial education of girls OF FASHION. and women and to place food at cost within reach of the poor. One of the greatest needs in the city, say the ladies, are means of amusement for young wo men away from home. This department will be in charge of Miss Jessie Patton, who will conduct the classes in physical culture and organize dramatic corps among the girls of the club, entertain ments, being given in the clubhouse, which contains an auditorium capable of holding 200 people. Graduates of the Cook county hospital will have charge of the home nursing department, which will include a knowledge of simple rem edies in the family and ready aid to the injured. Well known society ladies who have had experience in training serv ants will take charge of the housekeep ing department. The idea is to develop a system that will bear the same rela tion to the educational world for the training of girls that the kindergarten does for children. The association will shortly erect a handsomft St. Andrew's stand at the foot of the elevated rail road stairs on Congress street, Cooper's store, where penny meals will be dis pensed. Chicago Letter. Atlanta's Fromixe. The New York World having ex pressed the hope that the next national woman suffrage convention would re ceive fair treatment at Atlanta, where it is to meet in 1895, the Atlanta Consti tution says: It is unnecessary for our contempo rary to suggest to Atlanta or any other southern city that these ladies deserve fair treatment. Our people recognize the fact that among the women who ad vocate suffrage for their sex are many of the best and brightest mothers, wives and daughters in America. The conven tion will be heartily welcomed to At lanta, and the members will be hospita bly entertained, while it goes without saying that our citizens will take a deep interest in their meetings. It is true that the south has not en couraged the woman suffrage movetut-., but it is also true that this section has led all others in many lines of female advancement. The first female college in the world started here in Georgia, and our state has taken the lead in the mat ter of giving married women their prop erty rights as independent persons. With such a record it is safe to say that when the women of the United States come here to seriously discuss the suffrage question as it affects them, they will re ceive not only fair but courteous and friendly treatment. A Moneyless Princess. A fresh fctory of a princess comes from Vienna. Crown Princess Stephanie and her little daughter, the Princess Eliza beth, were on a country excursion and stopped, to buy some milk and fruit at a country inn. Suddenly they remem bered that they had no money in their pockets, and on learning this the prudent landlady refused to trust them, although the Princess Elizabeth assured her, with flashing eyes, that they were "honest people." Stand hy Each Other. Until women stand by women and show their support in all the womanli ness of their nature, no lasting result for equality and suffrage can be ob tained. Let women uphold each other for the right as men do each other for either right or wrong, and in the end the steadfastness of their purpose must accomplish the noble aim in view. Woman.

A recitation by Miss May White, also of Kansas City, and a pipe organ and piano duet. Miss Johnson has a rich contralto voice of great strength, and her solo was encored. Prof. Leib fully sustained his former excellent rep utation as a soloist His solo was en thusiastically encored, and he responded with "The Holy City," which was the Btar piece of the evening. Miss White, who recited, is a beautiful anl charming lady. Her gestures were graceful and her rendition was highly appreciated. Mr. W. F. Roehr played a pipe organ obligato to the recitation. She was en cored. Prof. Leib and Miss Johnson sang a pleasing duet Mr. W. F. Roehr's work- 'on the pipe organ was artistic, as was also the piano music by Sirs. Chas. S. Gleed. Their duet was excellent. The chorus numbers were all of a high stand ard, but the closing number from Gounod entitled, "By Babylon's Wave," is worthy of special mention. Just before the last number Prof. Leib thanked those present and said: "I really expected a larger audience tonight, but when I noticed what was to occur tonight, I was not surprised; but you are the ones that are sifted out from among the others and are therefore finer than they."
