Iff in i 10 CENTS A WEEK. THIIII) l... iON. TOPEKA, KANSAS, TUESDAY EVENING. JUNE 12, 1894. TWENTY-SECOND YEAR, 'l;v SCORE HICTORY. Things Look Briffht For the Woman Suffragists. Ben Henderson Elected Tem porary Chairman Of the Topulist State Conven tion Today. GREAT ENTHUSIASM. The Women Present Give Hen derson an Ovation, While the Convention Cheers Itself Hoarse. THE GOVERNOR TALKS. He Will Not Take the Nomi nation Unless It Comes Entirely With out Opposition. Unlike the Republican convention the delegates were the first to arrive at Hamilton hall this morning and came marching in displaying their badges of Populism without evincing the least bit of diffi dence. The yellow badges which the women had sold the delegates yester day at ten cents apiece were replaced or entirely covered up by blue ones, a sign perhaps that the women would be turned down and hidden just as they had been in the Republican convention. 1. P. Elder and Editor Costigan of the Ottawa Journal had seats side by side iu the Franklin county delegation and cast sweet glauces at each other in spite of the underlying political bitterness. Warden Dick Chase marched in but didn't act at all like he was running things as the anti-administration people charged. M. A. Householder of the statu board of charities was shaking hands smilingly with the delegates and when they didn't have their faces buried too deep in the Advocate they looked up and spoke to him. J. M. Dunsmore, the "Bald Hornet of the Neosho," was buzzing arouud, but every one who expected to 6ee a wasp like waist was deceived. The Dispatch band entertained the assembling people with ir.usic and after they had waved the Star Spangled Banner played a medley of war tunes very nicely. Susan B. An thony and Mis Ann Shaw .were on hand to see if Populists would prove any more pliable than Republicans. Mrs. Laura M. Johns, Republican, though she ia, invaded the meeting and Mrs. Annie L. Diggs came in with Miss Jessie Lewelling. When the doors were opened leading to the seats reserved for spectators a stream of people was forced up the stairs on the dead run like beef cattle through a stock yard chute. Smooth looking Mr. Breidenthal made his appearance on the platform and the crowd cheered. Called lo Ordtr. With unheard of promptness for politi cal meetings, Chairman Breidenthal, of the state central committee, called the convention to order at exactly 11 o'clock. Mr. Breidenthal desiring to have the be-.t of order, begged of the convention not to forget that they were men and women. Mrs. Anna II. Shaw invoked the divine blessing while the delegates Bat stock still in their seat a, only those on the plat form showing the respect of rising. Somo members from the Crawford county delegation stood up because they couldn't find seats and alter prayer was over they m.ide a deuiaud for them. "There are seats enough for every delegate," said Chairman Breidanthal, "alternates (Mr. Breidenthal said all-ternates) are not eutitled to seats. I am informed that one gentleman is occupying two seats; that is out of order," aud the difficulty was soon adjusted. When the convention had been called to order by Chairman Breidenthal and after the Rev. Anna Shaw had offered the invocation there was a delay in the proceedings- because the Modocs were not present, and a colored man from Cloud county, who was said to be a sing er, had not arrived. W. L. Brown of Kingman, a O. Wheel er of Cloud, Ben S. Henderson of Cow Ky and Wm. Stryker of Barton county were placed in nomination for tempo rary chairman. Judge Doster said he had attended the Cowley county convention and seconded the nomination of Ben Henderson as he knew him to be a good chairman. Mr. Toothacher of Wyandotte county was nominated, but as he was not a dele gate his name could not be considered. Wm. Stryker of -Barton county with drew before the vote was taken, k When the vote began it soon became evident tuat Henderson was the favorite. Withdraw 11 la Nima. Before the vote was announced W. L. Brown of Kingman withdrew his name amid cheers aud moved that Mr. Hender son be nominated by acclamation. P. P. Elder didn't like this a little bit, because a motion of his had been ruled out of order and he waved his hands and shouted -Mr. Chairman" in futile objec tion. The convention gave a unanimous Vote in the affirmative. P. P. Elder in announcing Franklin county's vote for temporary chairman, said, "Franklin county casts its solid vote for that grand little man, Ben Hender son," and as he sat down he winked his left eye slyly at some one over in the first district. Mr. Henderson was escorted to the stand by W. L. Brown of Kingman and S. C. heeler of Cloud. When he came upon the platform the women arose and waved their handkerchiefs furiously. Mr. Henderson U a suffragist and they con sidered victory in sight. Ia accepting the chairmanship, Mr. Henderson made a short speech. He referred to several party issues and then called attention to the suffrage question. He said: "The suffrage question is an issue in this campaign and we will not, like the cowardly Republicans last week, avoid the question. It taKes brave men to meet the issues of the day and we are equal to the emergency." At the reference to the cowardly ac tion of the Republican party in not en dorsing woman suffrage, in Mr. Hender son's speech the convention yelled with delight, the women jerked their hand kerchiefs tJbout like a wind whipping a line full of clothes on washing day and Mrs. Digg3 jumped up and down with ecstasy. What H.ndcnon't Cholc. Mumiii. The selection of Henderson as tem porary chairman ia a victory for the suf fragists as a caucus of anti-ttuffragists GOVEKNOS this morning declared they had the con vention "fixed" and that Brown would be chairman. Henderson ia strongly pronounced on that question and a suffragist personally and politically. Cha9. S. Davis of Junc tion City was elected temporary secre tary by acclamation. Chairman Henderson thought the con vention needed more prayer and he called on Rev. Mr. Goodaew from Paw nee county, whose prayer was more like a Populist speech than a request to the Lord. "Oh God," said Mr. Goodnew, "bless the chief executive of this nation provided that he repent of hia sins." Great cheering and laughter. Refer ing to woman suffrage he prayed that "the millions of disfranchised women in this country be released from their bond age," and concluded in the midst of a storm of cheers and amens. Cheering a supplication to the Lord was a little surprising to Miss Sudan B. Anthony. One delegate wanted to make an amendment to the amendment to the amendment, and while the convention was floundering around with this mo mentous question, D. G. Gill the confed erate soldier from Frankiin county, wanted to clear things up by moving a substitute for the whole thing but was howled down as the chair didn't beem to know whether it was in order. A Call for tlie Committees. Some one called for the committees and the chair said, "It will take me some time, I haven't got any slate." A motion to adjourn was lost, because the chair man can't hear aj-es half as well as Chairman Peters of the Republican con vention. Mr. Dunsmore asked the chairman a question and the chair said: "JS'o sir, the chair made no such ruling." The pre siding officer was trying to keep order to the best of his ability and the dele gates were generously assisting him by yelling "order, order, ord r," in a long wailing voice as though they were call ing hogs. After a long discussion on the question of the appointment of committees, ex Governor Eider succeeded in inducing the convention to agree to have the var ious committees appointed, three mem bers each- from each congressional dis trict. Mr. Costigan of Franklin suggested that the committee prepare duplicate copies of their reports for the use of the members of the press. The convention then adjourned until 2 o'clock, to give the congressional districts time to select their members of the var ious committees. After the motion to adjourn prevailed, the greatest confusion reigned. Chairmen of delegations stood up on chairs and yelled "oil down." because, they wanted the districts to confer, and the body of the convention echoed back "sit down yourself." Bedlam waa uo name for the noise, and men crowded and pushed like they were in a mad struggle for life and bread. At tha Afternoon Session. Two large banners about five feet square were added to the decorations this afternoon. One bore in large letters, "Our Financial System," and underneath was a British lion holding the neck of jhe American eagle fast In his mouth The other represents Cleveland and Sherman walking arm in arm down a road, at the side of which is the repre sentation of a silver dollar labeled "Vetoed." Sherman points to the dollar and says: "That's right, Grover." The crowd cheered when they were brought in and placed against the wall by the side of the sledge hammer cartoon. A nice looking young woman with a bright yellow badge and a face full of earnestness, labored zealously with the members of the fourth district delega tions while the convention was assem bling. If flowing smilea an -I warm handshakes could win support she cer tainly secured a solid delegation. One solid section in the west end of the hall was reserved for the women and they filled it full of repr esentatives of that sex with bright faces. Avery pretty young woman in blue dis tributed knots of yellow ribbon among the mefl and secured hosts of -converts. The convention was called to order at 2:10 and the Modocs were announced for one song, but it was a mistake for they were not present. Mr. and Mrs. Wright "of Shawnee county. Populists soul and body." were called on for a song and after showing the proper diffidence four women and two men came out and sang a song in still small voices that had for the refrain "They are coming from the east, they are coming from the west," at which the convention LEWELLINO. cheered and encored them. The singers responded with "When the election comes around we'll all be there," in the same piping voices which seemed totally inadequate to fill the halL The Modoc9 having appeared in the meantime, sang "The Song of Jubilee." The Modocs responded to an encore, beginning, "Adam was the first man that ever was invented," which pleased the convention more than anything they had heard today. The announcement of the committees caused lots of trouble be cause half of the names were so peculiar that they had to be spelled out, the worst mistake being the calling of Mc Juice for McGuire. When Mrs. Eliza Hudson's name was announced as a member of the committee on resolutions there was hand clapping and some cheering, showing that the convention appreciated the recognition of women in the selection of committees. Woman Delegate Present. Mrs. Eliza Hudson of Anderson coun ty, is the only woman delegate in the convention. She had a seat near the front in the Second district section. She is a woman about 85 years of age, rather good looking, dark complexioned with hazel eye3, and wore a pretty new black straw hat. She had a big palm leaf fan with which she fanned herself and a man sitting by her who had a beard as red as Judas Iocariot's. When a motion was made to refer all resolutions to the committee on resolu tions, Judge Doster of Marion raised the point of order that the motion was out of order and the chair sustained the point. This aroused Editor Costigan, who jumped upon a chair and dissented from Judge Doster's remarks and the decision of the chair, but the chair would not rec ognize him. For a long time he stood there with his hand raised trembling for a chance to talk. Some one appealed from the decision of th9 caair; the vote was taken and the chairman declared the chan? sustained. R. M. Cheuault of Bourbon shaking with excitement and so furious that he could hardly talk de manded a call of the roll of counties. P. P. Elder spoke against the chair. Speaker Dunsmore made a long talk in favor of sustaining the chair because the convention was not yet a properly organ izod body and theman who made the ap peal withdrew it whoa the chairman de clared he would rule all similar motions out of order until the committees re ported. A motion to adjourn to 4 o'clock was lost and Mrs. Carrie Lane Chapman Catt addresssed the convention. She was greeted with enthusiastic applause and was listened to with closest and most un divided attention. Mr. Catt Speaks. Mrs. Catt said: "The woman has always opened her heart at. the touch of the labor move ment. Do you know that in this coun try there are 4,00.,00J working women? 'lhey are nearly all in the ease They have to work 24 minutes longer each day to buy their thread and six minutes more to pay the tariff on the thread. We came to you in the behalf of the 4,000,000 working women to ask that they may have a voice in the gov ernment. "There is not a party but resolves in favor of the working man gentleman it is a lie. Applause. "They tell the women that if she wants a voice to go down into the highways and byways and find her a man and marry him, Applause and then have him vote for her; but there are not enough men to go around. Applause. I predict that in fifteen yeaas every state iu the union will have eliminated that little word male. Applause. We ask you to do this thing so that tne news may not go out that the People's party ia made up of cowards and demagogues. Applause. I am so very unfortunate as to live in New York. I tell you that Wall street ia trembling. Loud applause. They say that there is a movement in Kansas to give women the ballot, and that if they do they can no longer stop this re form. Applause. 'If you do this, you will say that your wives and daughters are to have the same right as those who live in the city. The Republican party kept itself in power by a simple act of justice, and you can do the same. "There are many Greenbackers in your state who believe that the Popu lists are a party of the people and 'of principle, aud how are you going to hold them if 'you refuse to put a plank in your platform. Applause. "If you put it in your platform and nominate the right kind of men you will sweep the state in a mighty waye in No vember." Applause. "'Ml Anthony Talks. Miss Susan B. Anthony was called for and introduced by Chairman Henderson as ono who had labored for her sex two score yearn. Ex-Gov. Glick was an in terested listener and enjoyed hugely Miss Anthony's castigation of the Repub lican party. Miss Anthony said: "We shall ak of every possible gathering of men for a resolution saying that the women should have the same right as the men. I understand that HJ per cent of the People's party are in favor of suffrage and will vote for it. Applause. I belong to but one party under the shadow of the flag and that is the party of idiots and criminals. We haven't been pardoned yet by the gov ernment. Now, I don't like my com pany. Applause. Do you blame me for asking for this. Luud cries, No! No! Do you want to leave your wives and daughters in the society of idiots and lunatics. Voices We wont. No party can live that does not favor new and radical reform -ideas. Applause. I ask you to say that every woman by your side should have the same rights as you have." Created a Bl Sensation. When Miss Anthony had concluded, ex-County Attorney W. II. Carpenter of Marion created a great sensation by say ing: "Before Miss Anthony leaves I want to asK her a question before this conven tion, and out of all due respect for her: Miss Anthony, in the event of the Popu lists putting a woman suffrage plank in their platform, would you work for the success of the Populist party?" Miss Anthony came forward to answer amidst the wildest cheers. She said: "For forty years I have been laboring for the success of woman's enfranchise ment and I always said that for the party which first endorsed it, whether it were Republican, Democrat or Populist, I would wave my handkerchief. Ap plause. I will go before the people at your meetings and though I don't know a thing about the other principles of your party I am a perfect ignoramus on .finance and tariff I will try to persuade every man in those meetings to vote for woman suffrage." "Miss Anthony,,' said Mr. Carpenter, "we want more than the waving of your handkerchief, and if the Peoples' party puts a woman suffrage plank in its plat form will you go before the people of this state and tell them that because the Peoples' party has espoused the cause of woman suffrage it deserves the votes of every one who ia a supporter of that cause?" Miss Anthony: "I most certainly shall!". Immediately upon hearing Miss An thony's answer, the convention went wild yelled aud cheered aud applau ded to its very utmost. Hundreds rose to their feet. The cheering lasted for five miuutes without intermission. Judge Doster was demanded and ad dressed the convention. He made an impassioned exhortation and assumed quite an evangelistic tone. When he said, "I don't want any cowardly utter ances in the platform such as were made by the Republicans, both public and pri vate," some man in the back part of the audience cried loudly, "God forbid I" Mr. Doster said further: "I don't want a platform to catch votes on." (Applause.) fLet us resolve in favor of allowing our wives to help us out of this industrial feudalism." Permanent Organization. It was t with shouts upon shouts that the' report of the com mittee on permanent organization was received whvjn read by CoL Fred. J. Close its chairman. The committee se lected the officers of the Populist "house" of the last legislature as the permanent organization: J. M. Duns more, the '-bald hornet" of Neosho, as permanent chairman and Ben C. Rich as permanent secretary. Judge Frank Doster and Fred J. Close escorted the permanent officers to the platform and the cheers with which they were received were deafening. It was said that office holders would not be given seats in the convention but it seems that the administration fixed matters to suit themselves and that the rule was transgressed whenever an op portunity offered. The governor's private secretary, Fred Close, had a seat ou the floor in the Doniphan county delegation "and was chairman of the commitiee ou permanent organization, which reported J. M. Dunsmore for permanent chair man. A THICK Y TAIR I. F. Elder and "W. L. Brown Try to Oat wit tne Women. The smooth trickery and skullduggery of the anti-suffrage members of the con vention has iailed to capture the com mittee on resolutions, at least, Mrs. Diggs and her associates say the committee is satisfactory to them. The first attempt to shut the friends cf suffrage out of the convention was made in the anti-suffrage caucus this morning, which attempted to make W. L. Brown the temporary chairman of the conven tion. Failing in this, the next move of these scheming politicians was to adopt an unusual proceedings iu state conventions of political parties and take the power and right to appoint the various committees of the convention; including the committee on resolutions, out of the hands of Chairman Ben. S. Henderson, who in accepting the chair manship announced, that he believed a suffrage plank should go into the plat form. W. L. Brown, the defeated candidate of the antl-suffragists for chairman, championed the measure to take the ap pointing of these committees out of the hands of Chairman Henderson. P. P. Elder, the well known anti-suffragist from the second district, also joined hands in this, although he voted for Henderson for chairman. Elder pro posed and championed the plan to have these committees named by the congres sional district delegations, a The anti-suffragists werajt Into each congressional district caucus and fought for the anti-suffrage members of the committee on resolutions. It has been stated by the enemies of suffrage that the scheme had worked and the First, Fifth and Sixth district committeemen were opposed to a suffrage plank; but in spite of this the suffrage workers say they are satisfied that they will win the day for a suffrage plank. In the convention this afternoon an other scheme to shut the friends of suf frage out of the right to debate the suf frage question was submitted. VV. L. Brown made a motion to refer all resolutions to the committee on reso lutions without debate. -Judge Frank Doster opposed this, and although P. P. Elder championed Brown's motion, the chairman was sus tained in ruling the motion out of order, because the committee on order of busi ness had not yet submitted its report. Every step of the way is being fought to a finish by the anti-suffragists, but the friends of suffrage predict a victory. TELEGRAM FKOH SIMPSON. The following telegram from Mrs. Jerry Simpson was read before the con vention this morning: Berktky Springs, Va., June 9. Governor L. D. Lewelling, Topeka. Kan. I have Jerry at Berkley Springs, about one hundred miles from Washington, and he is doing finely. Don't worry; he will be ready for the fight. Mrs. Jerry Simpson. Hundreds of throats sent up a big rousing cheer, when the telegram was finished which lasted several moments and as the general applause was subsid ing one lone delegate from the Seventh district came in like the last crashing note of a brass band, "Hurrah for Jer ry!" The secretary was instructed to pre pare a reply from the convention to Sirs. Simpson. The reply is: Convention Haix, June 12. Mrs. Jerry Simpson. Berkley Springs. W. Va.: Your telegram read in state conven tion amid great enthusiasm. The entire Populist party of Kansas sends congrat ulations for the cheering news, "Kansas is redeemed," and her people will keep off the grass. Chas. S. Davis, Secretary. THE COMMITTEES.

Whatever progress reform, with a big R, may have made among the Populists art reform has made no decided or per ceptible impression, if the cartoons that decorate the walls of Hamilton hall are to be considered as mirroring Populist art ideal.-!. A. series ot cartoons, repre senting Republican redeemers, decorates the back of the hall. O. L. Atherton, candidate for state treasurer on the Republican ticket, i3 represented sitting at a poker table hold ing aces up, with a bottle in front of him, which he looks at as though he thought if he drew he could fill. Major Hudson is squared to the bar and shows his true Kansas spirit by drinking from the orig j inal bottle instead of the ordinary com i mon-place mug. The woman suffragists' are depicted rising skyward from an im j petus received from the foot of the Re publican party, while Congressman un ston wears a pity-the-blind placard label ed certificate of character from Saloon keeper Murray. Dick Blue with two bags of dollars under his arms, has a roguish expression on his face and is called "Boodler Blue," while Major Morrill is pictured as a 3 per cent a month "redeemer." George T. Anthony is filching from the safe con taining the school funds, as though a great part of it had not already been paid out for worthless bonds. Others of the cartoons for the most part represent ideas too indecent to suggest, however true they may be and which could only find a place under a management whose ideas of respectability and decorum were AT EMPORIA. The Prohibition State Conven tion Meets Today. Ex-Governor St. John Made Temporary Chairman. NOT GOING TO FJLOP. St. Jonn Says There's No Hope From Populists, But Wants Nearly All the Pop ulist Planks. Emporia, Kans., June 12. The prohl tion hosts began to gather here this morn ing for the state convention, which meets at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The attendance is small and very little canvassing is being done. The delegates seem to have no idea who the nominee for governor will be. although St. John's name is most frequently mentioned. The ex-governor, however, says he will not accept the nomination for any office. He denies the report that he i to flop over to the Populists and he condemns the present state administration. The Convention Assembles. The convention assembled at the Whitley opera house at 2 o'clock this afternoon. There is a fair attendance and considerable enthusiasm. Chairman Newton of Ottawa called the convention to order and after prayer ex-Gov. John P. St John was elected temporary chairman. He was escorted to the platform while his admirers made the hall ring with cheers. He made a characteristic speech and was loudly applauded. He de nounced the Republicans, Democrats and Populists and said the present con gress was a stench in the nostrils of all decent people. He denounced the Lewelling adminis tration as weak and cowardly and said there would be no hope in that direction if the convention in Topeka today did not rise above it Outlining the platform that should be adopted he said the convention should declare for the suppression of the liquor traffic, demand the government owner ship of railroads and telegraphs, endorse free aud unlimited coinage at 10 to 1, declare in favor of direct issue of money by the government oppose the is suance of bonds for any purpose should favor election of senators by popular vote and declare for eq'ual suffrage. The indications now are that I. O. Pickering of Olathe, will be nominated for governor aud that a complete ticket will be named. At 3:30 the convention took a recess for an hour to give the chairman time to make up his committees. Nothing will be done iu the way of naming a ticket before tomorrow. FIRES FUNSTON. The Committee Reports In Favor of Col. Moore Today. Washington. June 12. A report in favor of giving to CoL Moore, the Demo cratic contestant, the seat for the Second Kansas district held by Funston (Rep.,) was made by the sub-committee to the house committee on elections to day. at least very crude if not undeveloped altogether. DUNSMORE ON UOBTON. Ex-Speaker of the Populist Houie Com ments on the Uuim Case. Several hundred Populists, including a number of delegates of the state con vention, attended the state officers re ception at Representative hall last night It had been announced that the affair was to be entirely informal, and it was. All the chairs in the hall were occupied and fifty or sixty people walked around, leaned on the radiators and tried to make themselves comfortable and agreeable. Frank Forrest, the ex-state house jani tor, who is now connected with tho Ad vocate, officiated as chairman and intro duced the speakers who were called for, and addresnes, short and spicy, were made by ex-Speaker J. M. Dunsmore, G. C. Clemens, S. S. King, B. E. Kios and S. M. Scott S. A. Martin, of Eureka, sang several campaign songs. When ex-Speaker Dunsmore was mak ing his speech ho talked about the cer tificate plan of the legislature over which he presided for a short time and argued that the Populists were right and that their position had been sustained by the action.of congress last summer. He said in congress the right of any member to a seat is never qupstioned until ho ii about to be sworn jn and members are not sworn in until after the temporary organization has been effected. The clerk calls a roll which he has prepared and the n ames called from that roll are the names of the members who take part in the tem porary organization. "Judge Horton decided against us and in direct opposition to a case of the same kind from Maine, and I want to say that Judge Horton is guilty of anarchy." In conclusion he said: "This whole question is summed up in "Hlggins, hades and Horton." The meeting adjourned about 11 o'clock. AMIS TO BE NOMINATED. Mm Is the Winning Candidate for Secretary of state. The delegates of the Sixth congres sional district canvassed at Lincoln Post hall this morning, and for two hours talked about tho endorsement of their candidate for secretary of state. It had been generally agreed by the delegates to the convention that the Sixth district was to be given the privi lege of selecting the candidate for secre tary of state to succeed It. S. Osborn, who was until yesterday not considered a candidate for renomination. Secretary Osborn and his friends were Continued on Seventh Page.

-l6wtt4KS ilW' UMW'lUli STATE JOURNAT TUESDAY EVENING. JUNE 12. 1894. RAPID WORK. Nineteen Paes of the Tariff Bill Disposed Of. The Brakes Are Taken Off at Last. THREE BIG SCHEDULES Railroaded Through By the Senators Yesterday. Washington, June 12. The brakes were taken off in the senate yester day and more progress was made with, the tariff bill than during1 any pre vious three weeks of the considera tion of the measure. Three schedules, spirits and wines; cotton and flax; jute and hemp manufactures from paragraph 237 to 277, in clusive, comprising- nineteen pajres of the bill, were disposed of. The entire cotton schedule, ten pages of the bill, was finished in thirty minutes. The Republicans made no opposition to the amendment proposed to this schedule, maintaining that the rates, though reduced, were so changed as to make the cotton schedule the most "scientific" ever prepared. Bags, made of burlap, for grain and cotton basrging, were placed on the free list. The collar and cuff paragraph, pro viding for a duty of 30 cents per dozen pieces, and 30 per cent ad valorem, while shirts or other articles com posed wholly or in part of linen carry a duty of 50 per cent, provoked con siderable discussion and more or less amusement. To-day the woollen schedule was taken up. Mr. Quay pave notice just before adjournment that he would, when this schedule wti reached, resume the speech he began delivering four months ago. STATEMENT AMPLIFIED. Sraater Caffery As;eln Before th Sugar Trust Investigating; Committee. Washington, June 12. Senator Caffery went before the sugar trust investigating committee yesterday to amplify the statement heretofore made by him concerning1 his meeting with Mr. Havemeyer at Senator Brice's house. He was reported in his former testimony to have said he had been requested to see Mr. Havemeyer, "who happened to be in Senator Brice's house, but he had not stated tlie mannar in which Mr. Havemeyer happened to be there, which he wished to do. "Prior to seeing- Mr. Havemeyer, Mr. Caffery said, "there was a dis cussion between those present and ex-Senator White and myself as to the comparative methods of the ad va lorem and specific rates of duty on susrar. There was a great deal of difference of opinion on this point, and Senator Brice stated there was a g-entleman in the city who knew more about the operation of any given rate of duty on sug-ar than perhaps any other man in the United States, and tliat if it was agreeable he would send for him. That man was Mr. Have meyer. Senator lirice asked me if I had any objection to meeting Mr. Havemeyer and having a discussion with him on this particular point. I told him I had none. I simply de sired to state Mr. Havemeyer came to the house in pursuance of the invita tion of Mr. Brice." Henry R. Reed went before the committee and was examined at some length. He added he knew nothing of any speculation in sugar stocks by United States senators. The committee will report Mr. Chap man's refusal to answer questions to the senate and wills not probably ask him to appear aarain. The proceed ings will be similar to those in the case of Edwards and Shriver. COMPROMISE AGREED UPON Operators amt Miners Come Together and a Settlement Is Reached. Colcmbcs, Ohio, June 12. About 5:30 last evening the scale committee of the miners and operators an nounced that an agreement had been reached and was being- drawn up. The compromise was on a basis of sixty eents for Ohio and sixty-nine cents for Western Pennsylvania. The agree ment is not to take effect until next Monday, June 18, the miners desiring to have a week to submit the matter to the various districts, as much op position to the compromise is ex pected, and the miners will have to be prepared toaocept it.

Niw York, June 12. Russell J. Wil ton, attorney for the estate of the late Senator Leland Stanford, speak ing yesterday of the claims of the United States against the stock-hold-irs of the Southern Pacific company snd the filing of the claim against the Stanford estate, said: "I have been traveling- for several days and have heard little of the more recent pro ceeding's in congress. I understand Congressman Geary was to make a speech in committee on the subject, but I have not heard whejer he has done so, and do not know the latest developments. "Senator Stanford died on June 21, 1893, and the first notice to the credi tors of his estate was published June 87 following. By California law all elaims not presented within ten months after such publication are barred by limitation. So the govern ment, after waiting- until the veryr last was nearly over, suddenly in jected this claim into ray office. This was on May 26, a Saturday when bus iness hours close at noon. Afterward it was claimed that the statue of lim itation did not run against the gov ernment anyhow. I offered them the privilege of withdrawing the claim, and testing that little point, but they did not care to do it. "Our position is that the govern ment has no rights over the outside property of the stockholders. If a man owes you a debt secured by mortgage and promissory note and you sell the security under foreclos ure and the proceeds do not pay the note you still have a claim on him for the balance, but if you merely have a lien on certain of his property, all you can do is to sell that; you have no further rights against his property. "We claim that the government has merely a lien on the railroad prop erty. They can take it at the proper time if they wish, but they can not proceed further against the stock holders." "If the Stanford estate had to pay this claim, would there be much left?" was asked. "O, yes," Mr. Wilson said, "there would be what would be a very tidy fortune to most people still remain ing. I have not the faintest idea what the attorney general means to do, or what action congress will take in the matter." Ordered to Leave Town. Denver, CoL, June 12. Giles O. Pearce, a metallurgist of Colorado Springs, came to Denver after re ceiving the following note: To Giles Otis Pearce, Anarchist.

HIS PER CAPITA GOES. Speculators Are Getting the Indians' Money. Tahxkqtjah, I. T., June 12. The Cherokees are about to g-et into a muddle over their millions, the trouble being- whether s Cherokee who has -a right to share in the per capita, has the right to give an order to some one else to draw for him. The act providing for the payment was not quite explicit in this direction and the treasurer has ruled, that an Indian has the right to give an order for his money to whom he pleases. Speculators have taken advantage of this ruling- and have shipped in a lot of money and have their headquarters at one of the principal hotels. The Indians are brought in by strikers and an order taken to the treasurer for their share of the money and discount ed at the rate of $10.70 from each individual. Merchants and others who have accommodated the Indians and are here collecting-, are suffering heavy losses caused by the speculator. An Indian who does not want to pay his debts can slip around to the specu lator and sell his per capita and leave before the mercnant knows he has drawn as the collectors are at the treasurer's office, where the money is being paid out. INFLAMED NERVES. Tope km Doctors Have a Specimen Before Them for Discussion. The Topeka academy of medicine and surgery met last evening at 723 Kansas avenue. The main paper of the evening was read by Dr. S. G. Stewart on the sub ject "Neuritis." This malady, to put it in common, everyday terms, means "in flammation of the nsrvea." Dr. Stewart brought with him a pa tient whom he said was suffering from the disease. The man's lower limbs were almost paralyzed, but showed signs of recovery. The man was injured about nine years ago while working in the field. Dr. W. 8. Lindsey didn't think the pa tient showed signs indicating that he had neuritis, but most of the doctors agreed with Dr. Stewart. Dr. D. B. Colcord was to have read a paper on "Microbic Diseases," but as the hour was late it was postponed till the next meeting, aud Dr. J. C. McClintock reported a case of pelvic adhesion. The patient, a lady, was present with her nurse. Dr. McClintock said that as he had been out of the city and had been so busy he had not prepared a written report of the case. The case is being treated by massage. Dr. J. P. Lewis arose and said that he thought Dr. McClintock had not pre sented his case in the proper shape, and that they weren't there for the purpose of discussing massage. Dr. McClintock said: "I apologized at first for not having prepared a written report. I have been out of the city and the past week I have done work which is harder than any worker in the field."

(a His Contest Asralnsk Breckinridge Be Does Sot Mine -Words. Lkxtnqtok, Ky., June 12. From 1,000 to 6,000 strangers were here yes terday to hear W. L. C. Owens and Evan Settle, the candidates for con gress in opposition to Colonel Breck inridge. They spoke in the opera house to a crowd only measured by the walls. Owens was introduced by Judge Jere B Morton, an ex-Confederate soldier and a man of high stand ing in the district. Owens made several allusions to Colonel Breckinridge, but made no new attack on him. He said, how ever, he stood by every word uttered in his famous Paris speech, when he attacked Breckinridge bitterly. He said if anybody took offense at anything- he had or would say, he wanted that person "to come to him like a man, and not sneak off behind that long-eared, long-haired, irrespon sible, crazy brute, Charles C. Moore. Moore publ ished in his prohibition paper several columns last week against Owens, and this allusion is a reflection on Breckinridge, who is said by Owens men to have furnished Moore with the information. Settle and Owens spoke again last night at the court house, to a room full of voters. Three Persons Drown. Vermillion, Ohio, June 12.

People Are Prepared to Believe Anything Now. Washington, D. C, June 12. Special.--It was a great day for the galleries when the Eenate finally got down to something like test voting. The diplomatic and la dies' galleries were empty, but all the oth ers well filled, even the reporters' gallery being crowded. There was a better at tendance of senators than for many days, and the attention was so close that in the brief pauses between remarks the silence was sometimes almost painful. The pre liminary sparring would occasionally pro duce a light ripple of laughter, and in rare instances conversation in the galleries would create a hum, but if any of the lead ing senators was up it would instantly cease, and when the calling of the roll be gan every head was stretched forward and every ear strained. As bad been expected, Mr. Peffer voted steadily with the Republicans and Messrs. Kyle and Allen generally with the Demo crats, but two of the amendments offered were so skillfully framed to catch the Pop ulists that the three found themselves in accord on two votes. As the names of Hill and Irby were called there was a general appearance of strained anxiety, and when Mr. Hill passed one call without voting there was an instant buzz and general shak ing of heads. Strange to say, the fact that Mr. Stewart failed to vote on the same call attracted no particular attention. It is evi dently taken for granted by the public that the senator from .Nevada is thoroughly dis txuntled. In an I'gly Mxod. Under ordinary circumstances the signs of ill nature with which the debate began would have delighted the galleries, but they were too impatient for the vote. The New York and New Jersey bridge bill was passed with scarcely a sign of interest and a few other measures of similar character, the audience growing every minute more impatient for thegreat battle on sugar. At the very start it was apparent that two or three senators had received advance in formation as to what the testimony before the investigation committee was likely to be. One or two contented themselves with dark and mysterious hints that something awful would soon be revealed, but Mr. Chandler, who was in an unusually irritable mood, broke forth with great heat, saying: "I believe that senators have speculated in sugar stock, and I hope that we will not have final action on this bill until the com mittee charged with the investigation of all these scandalous rumors completes its work. It is due to the senate and the coun try, no matter what votes are cast today, not to act upon this bill until the commit tee headed by the able and upright senator from Delaware (Mr. Gray) bLa.ll have com pleted its investigation of the length, breadth, height and depth of all the asser tions cast, upon tho senate in connection with the influence of the Sugar trust." Charges and Denials. Of course there was a sensation, but in a few minutes there was a bigger one. Mr. Vest had charged and Mr. Aldrich had de nied in a previous discussion that there was speculation in sugar stock while the McKinley bill was pending. Mr. Aldrich now renewed the discussion by declaring that there were no great fluctuations in the stock in 1S90. "It went up So points," said Mr. Vest, "in three weeks. There were then the same lies, the same fabrications, the same ayacks on public wen as during the consideration of the pending bill." Mr. Sherman came to the rescue of his neighbor and declared that the Sugar trust of lb90 amounted to very little, when up popped Mr. Brice, with on aggressive sud denness kite unusual for him, and said: Ihecapital of the trust in lSt)0 wasS5O,0o0,- 000, and the stock went up from 03 to !5 The holde s ma le $20,000,000 after the rep resentatives cf the Sugar trust had made their agreement with those wbo controlled the bill." All this, though it put the sen ate into as near a frenzy as it ever gets, did not interest, the occupants of the galleries three minutes, ro anxious were they for tht test vote. The lirsc one resulted 38 to 31. and so it was plain that party lines wer practically unbroken. emitting details, sullice it to say that the finance committee was sustained throughout, the net result of the whole day being to make the position of Mr. Peffer as an opponent of the bill al most, if not quite, a certainty. i The Iniquitous Sugar Trust. The strain being over, the interested spec tators rushed for the latest news from the committee of investigation, and after get- ting it the two great questions discussed were: "Was Carlisle worked?" and "How j does McPherson's explanation compare with that of Colfax on the Credit Mobilier?" i Down to date the tendency seems to be to answer the first question affirmatively. Of i course none but the bitterest partisan in Washington imagines that the secretary was ever corruptly influenced, but many believe that the ingenious sugar men found him so anxioU3 to be fair, so very anxious to avoid the appearance of rashness or in justice, that they made his rnood 6erve their purpose. There is nothing too mean to be believed here in regard to the Sugar trust. As to Senator McPherson, his statement that he was trying hard to quit buying sug ar stock and that his son and a careless servant managed to buy more in spite of him was received at first with astonishment, next with derisive laughter and now prom ises to become one of the stock jokes of journalism, like the various thin stories told in the days of Credit Mobilier and the great whisky trials. There is trouble enough for many other people just now, for if the coal miners do not let up pretty soon navigation will cease on the Potomac, and street cars and many other important conveniences will be in a fix. The house continues to rush busi ness, and the committees of the senate have recently made great progress in preparing house .bills (or rapid passage through the senate. The friends of the applying terri tories have formed a new combination, and the committee gives assurances that New Mexico can pass the house and that there is still a chance for it, with Utah and Ari zona, to get through the senate. General Wheeler, chtdrman of the committee, says he does not see how the differences about Oklahoma, can be reconciled so as to give it a good show, but Republicans declare that it must keep even pace with New Mexico and that if one is refused the other will be. D. Holmes, druggist, 731 Kansas ave. REPUBLICANS QUIT. They Will Make No dominations in Vir ginia This Y.r. Washington, June 12. The Virginia Republican committee, representing the different congressional districts of the state, in session here, has adopted, though not unanimously, a resolution stating that the committee deems it unwise to call congressional conventions for the purpose of making Republican congres sional nominations in Virginia for the autumn election. The resolution expressly states, how ever, that the committee has no intention of attempting to prevent any person from running for office, or any people from nominating a representative if they feel disposed to do so. Ex-Senator Mahone says that this at titude of the Republicans of his Btate is the natural outcome of existing affairs, and for his part, he will not cast another ballot under the present circumstances. JOINING BY THOUSANDS, Railway Union Said to Be Growing at tho Bate of 2,000 a Day. Chicago, June 12. Four hundred and fifty delegates were in their seats when the first quadrennial convention of the American Railway union was called to order here today in Uhrigs hall, by President Eugene V. Debs. Vice President Howard opened the proceedings with a brief address, review ing the success of the organization from the start. He said that a convention of this kind has never been held in Amer ica before under one banner, with one object. "We are bound to succeed. We are today gaining members at the rate of 2,000 per day." President Debs' speech was enthusi astically received by the delegates. He attacked the Carnegies, Frick and Geo. M. Pullman, charging them witii hypoc risy and Pharisaical fraud. Their busi ness, he declared, was to rob and to de grade working men and women. The convention will, he announced, consider the Pullman strike. THE COURT HOUSE LOTS. Jadga Hazen Enjoins farther Action by the County Commissioners. A temporary restraining order has been granted by Judge Hazen iu the dis trict court which prevents further action towards taking possession of the lots on Van Buren street adjoining the court house site, owned by Mrs. Helen Shaffr and Charley Jockheck. The arguments in the case will be heard next Saturday. The petition in the case asks for the injunction on the ground that the law by which the property was condemned is unconstitutional; or if constitutional proper notice was not given to the own ers. The owners wanted $16,500 for the three lots, but the appraisers only al lowed $3,000 per lot. It is thought that the restraining order will not retard the work on the court house. Work would not begin on the lots until next week. WEISSEKT IS HURT. The Fromln.nt O. A. It- luTan Dlslocat. s His Shoulder. Milwaukee, June 12. Col. A. C. Wcissert, pa3t commander-in-chief of tho G.

Sanders' Case is Called for Trial Today. A Number of His Men Locked Up in Jail. OTHER STATE NEWS. Two Women Narrowly Escape Drowninir at Wichita. Leavenworth, June 12, "General" John Sherman Sanders went before United States Attorney W, C. Perry and made a formal demand for a trial. He said he was sorely tired of the way things are going and desired to have the charges against himself and men settled one way or another. Mr. Perry and Sanders went before Judge Thomas and the judge asked: "Have you an attorney?" "I have." "Who is he?" "Mr. Waters of Topeka," "Is he present?" "He is not here now, but I can have him here Wednesday." Clerk Sharitt then stated to the judge that CoL Waters was not in Topeka and could not come here in so short a time. Judge 1 ho in as repeated this informa tion to Sanders and told him he had bet ter get another attorney. The judge then announced that the case would be taken up today in order that the preliminaries may be disposed of. Judge Thomas did not know whether this court has jurisdiction and desires to be informed on the question. Ten or a dozen of "Gen." Sanders' men are locked up in the county jail by order of the United States marshal. Among them are Adjutant Gen. Connell, Capt. Crumley and a sergeant. Connell is the handsome man of the outfit with Pad erewski hair. They were taken to jail because they grew too demonstrative in camp and wanted to kick up trouble. It is stated further that within a short time the en tire "army" will be in the jails of the state, it being argued that is the best way to hold them till the time of trial next September.

After Mr. Peffer had offered his amendment, under an agpeement made yesterday, the senate went back to para graph 96, imposing a duty of 40 per cent on spectacles, goggles, opera glasses aud other optical instruments which was passed over at the request of Mr. Hoar.

The Republicans have a majority of only tifty-two in the Oregon legislature just a full deck. When Prendrgast said he wanted no continuance, no delay, he made himself solid with the public. The Oxford-Yale boat race will de cide whether America cannot outrow Euland as she has always outsailed her. If the Populists don't adopt a woman suffrage plank after wearing the badges they do, they are sailing- under falsa colors. While strikers are in the business of blowing up bridges their attention is po litely directed to the one over the Kaw on Kansas avenue. The men who shot Bill Dalton will get about $50,000 for it. Dalton then was worth as much dead as Grover Cleve land is for one year. The fact that all the New York saloons were closed Sunday is likely to bring fortli another sneer from Chicago at her slow, old fashioned ways. Mciey Hanson, they say, is dead, but there are a great many others with the same characteristics whe remain in the flesh as obdurate as ever. The wine and spirit schedule of the tariff bill was adopted without alteration. Senators have become so accustomed to Baying "the same" that there was no chance for anything else. It seems that George William Curtis will have to slumber on without any v suitable memorial to his life and work a Curtis Monument association has just been started in New York. Mr. Osbokx would like to be secre tary of state again very badly, he thinks now. The Populists had better be care ful how they treat him or he may get after him with his Winchester. Cleveland suffered so from the heat that he had to call in a doctor to give him a prescription. It would appear that he had at last begun to feel the burning indignation of the people. Senator Quay says he has hitherto ig nored the mean stories told on him as be neath his notice but the latest one about him was too much. The country con gratulates Mr. Quay on having at last en countered a charge that he could deny. The discovery of two atar-like lights within the south polar snow cap of Mars is announced from the Flagstaff, Arizona, observatory. We knew she was gone, but no one expected that the Stareyed Goddess of Reform had wandered so far. The strike of all English coal miners if it takes place will give American newspapers an excellent opportunity to pay back the advice so generously offered from time to time, by telling the English how to run their government so as to prevent such things. A railroad tra.n was held up within the city limits of Philadelphia by four thieves who had no other weapons than lumps of coaL The only difference in lawlessness between the east and west seems to be that it doesn't take much of an outlaw in the east. Representative Geary of California has no hesitancy in pursuing the late Senator Stanford beyond the grave. There may be a difference of opinion as to how much immunity from censure death should give, but in any case the best course would have been to find out that the ex-senator was a thief while he was yet alive. FOR LEVI MORTON. Be May Be Ntminalad For Governor of New York. New York, Ju ne 12. N"ews was re ceived from London to-lay, which led a very close friend of ex-Vice President Levi P.

Theological, graduates of 1894 will soon swell their ranks. Rural Pastors Are Devoted Men It There Are Amy Sack Their Small Monetary Re wards Funerals, Wedding- Fees, Dona tion Parties. Yet m little while, and the divinity students of 1894 will be graduated, and the army of evangelical ministers will receive large re-eiiforeements. And in the nature of things most of the young men who will then go out front the doors of the theological seminaries will serve country churches. If there are any men on the face of the earth who are deserving of consideration from their fellow men, if there are men anywhere whose labors are ceaseless and earnest, if there are men in existence who give of their life and their strength for the benefit of others, they are the. mm AST) GET A LOAD OF PCIVIFKIXS. country ministers. If yon have at any time spoken of these men as "working for their salaries" because from the force of circumstances they have to receive compensation for their services, my ad vioa to yon is to go away somewhere, alone with yourself, and blush for very shame as you never blushed before. I do not mean to assert that all conn try ministers are perfect. They are all imperfect. If they were not, they would not be human, and so would not he suit ably vehicles for the carrying to their fellowmen of the tidings of the gospel, the reception of which they and their supporters believe will bring peace to every troubled soul and eventually dominate the sin and with it the mis ery of the whole earth. But no one who has known country ministers as a class and has taken thought of the difficulties they meet in the way, the obstacles they have to overcome in the performance of their duties, their limited income and the things that are required of them will hesitate to indorse every word I have written. Some of the theolognes of 1891, who have friends or acquaintances to help tlvom with their influence, will find pas torates in the larger towns and cities, where their income in dollars will be somewhat in keeping with the years of study and thought and labor that they have expended in preparing themselves for their life work, but the proportion will be small. In 1893 there were 16, 443 Methodist Episcopal ministers in the United States. They received in the aggregate $10,298,915 as compensation for their services that year, or an aver age of a little over $620. The average paid to Baptist ministers is even less, being only $404, and the ministers of these two denominations are as well paid as any certainly. In the big cities and the prosperous towns and villages the average is higher, of course, btit in truly rural localities it is correspond ingly below it. Even in the freat centers of wealth and intelligence, where the salaries of ministers are large, they are far below the average income of men in other pro fessions. Yet the ministers of the Cnited State? are not a lot of gloomy minded men, cast down and discouraged. On the con trary, they are cheerful and bright, as a class, beyond most men. Most of them know early in the ministerial career that they have reached the limits prac tically of their monetary emoluments, and that they can never hope to bo more than safo from want in their declining years, much less rich. Many of them discover before they have preached many years that their annual income will never exceed a few hundred dollars.

The country ministers as a class are men whose lives are ordered according to a strict Interpretation of what they con ceive to be their duty. This, coupled With a trust In the powers above that is positively sublime, is what keeps them "i at tamr posts, mac their influence doe not make for good and for the better ment of their fellows is a proposition that is not borne out by the facts. Con sidered simply from a temporal view point, leaving things spiritual ont of the question, the labors of the country ministers In behalf of morality, of right living, of uprightness in business and of the gentler graces in everyday life are worth to the community many times more than the cost. For it is in many remote communities the minister who keeps alive the aspira tions of the entire population for those things which make for refinement, for education and for manners. It is the ministers to whom the family troubles, the financial tangles and the penitences of the entire neighborhood are carried. If there is a bright young man or a clev er girl in his "congregation who has as pirations for the education of the schools and the broader life of the wide, wide world that looks so alluring to youthful eyes, and that may be reached perhaps through the college gate, it is the minis ter who is consulted. When there is se rious sickness, the minister is called in, and when there is death it is he who attends the last services over the body of the departed one, and who comforts the living. When there are marry ings When there is a wedding, the country minister is joyfuL It is quite possible that there is some element of selfishness in his joy, for after the ceremony comes the fee, and though ministers do not sub sist on fees alone they form a not to be lightly regarded fraction of the total yearly income. It is email wonder if some country ministers whose salaries are small occasionally preach from the text, "It is not good for man to be alone," nor that some ministers are prone to encourage the extreme develop ment of the feminine trait of match making in their own worthy spouses. It will be readily understood by the discerning reader that the accomplished matchmaker who is the wife of a coun try minister may, by skillful use of her talents, help materially in keeping the flour barrel filled. It must be stated, however, while we are upon the subject of wedding fees, that they sometimes fall short of expectations. To look for a $5 bill and to get a load of pumpkins or half a cord of crossgrained and unsea soned 4 foot wood is a disappointment sore and one hard to be borne. Next to and sometimes quite equal in importance with the wedding fees of the country minister as an auxiliary source of income is the annual donation party. It is almost always held in the winter season and often at the minister's house. Sometimes his furniture and his carpets are a sight to behold on the morning after a vigorous donation party. I have known a minister's better half, who was a careful housewife, to sit down and have a good cry (a feminine tight, by the way, even in these times Mm 'SNAP-AXD-CATCH'-EM.M some people are so fond of calling fin de siecle) on discovering that the damage to her home belongings has been greater than the net result of the donation party. The personal popularity of the minister is pretty accurately gauged by the size of his donation, and when it dwindles he might about as well make up his mind that his usefulness is a thing of the past in that neighborhood, and it is time for him to go a-candidating. If he be popular with his church and the world's people, too, his donations will be satisfactory and the attendance so large that the parties will be held in the town hall, where, though there can be no dancing at a donation, there is room a-plenty for those curious games known as "snap-and-catch,' em, "needle's eye" and "pillows." It is the going a-candidat."-ig that tries the soul of the country minister. Maybe he has offended some member of his church ty an allusion to the vice of stinginess, or perchance he has reproved a deacon's daughter for "sparkin her best fellow right in meetin, possibly the youthful exuberance of her compan ion; in the current couplet the minister's own son has not comported himself aright; like enough the preacher's ser mons seem stale and his congregation diminishes from some cause it is evi dent to him that he must seek a "call" to a new field, and so he goes forth preaching "trial sermons, and his wife awaits anxiously until a church that will receive him has been found. Fortu nate indeed are those ministers who suc ceed in pleasing one church for a whole lifetime in the ministry, and thrice for tunate are the ministers of the Metho dist church who never have to go a-can-didating, but go where they are sent by the conference, even though they have to move every two or three years. It often happens that the country min ister who has knowledge of some meth od of earning money will seek to add to his slender income by labor of some sort. To really rural pastors there are few opportunities for the getting of em ployment in any intellectual pursuit, and they often "farm it on shares" in a small way. I knew a devoted preacher once who in the summer time worked by the day during the week among the farmers he preached to on Sunday, who cobbled in the winter and laid stone wall in the spring and autumn. I knew another who sought to gain lucre by do ing a little trading in horses. He had a transaction of that sort one day with his leading deacon, and the next week the pastor went on a tour a-candidating. SOME JOCULAR JINGLES. When Mollie Bathes the Baby.

There was a young woman who lived in a flat. She had seven children, a dog and a cat, A bird and a husband. To know what to do fche didn't like t'other who lived in a shoe. To feed them together the couldn't, for when The table was set in the dining room den It filled all the space so nobody could squeeze 'Tween table and walls, try as hard as he please. Bo three at a time she just managed to feed. And, though they all ate with a cannibal's speed. It gave that poor woman no rest in the day From setting the table and clearing away. Though feeding the family puzzled her quite, T .vas nothing to stowing 'em off for the night. Fine beds she ha 1 plenty, all made to enfold. But never a room one when open would hold. A boy on a mat slumbered out in the hall; The baby was hung by the bird on the wall; On tubs in the kitchen a little chap slept; In drawers of the dresser another one crept. On lounge in the parlor a miss had to go; Another one lay on two chairs in a row; The big boy was stuffed in the pautry to bunk; The cat was In luck on the top of a trunk. The poodle, compelled in a corner to squeeze. Could never untwist to get rfter his fleas. The old man, who daren't grow fat any more. Was tucked in the bathtub to blissfully snore. The mother-in-law, who quite often was there. In nightcap and gown filled the hard rocking chair. And then the poor woman looked round for a shelf On which she could lay what was left of her self. Although this young woman had there In her flat A bird, seven children, a dog and a cat And also a husband, she never at all Could see them together, the rooms were so small. To make herself certain that none should bo lost. Out into the street once a week they were forced. And after their noses were couned all right She led the procession up stairs with delight. That poor woman's troubles were thicker than flies. A little, wee stranger dropped down from the skies. But couldn't get in till they fired the cat For never is room for "one more" In a flat.

The Suffragists Held Another of Their Great Assemblages AT HAMILTON HALL LAST SIGHT. A Great Deal or Advice ai Threats tor the Populists d Some ir They Ignore NalTrage. About 2,500 people crowded into Ham ilton hall last night and perspired and fanned, and then perspired some more, while the Populist lights of the equal suffrage movement expressed confidence that their friends, the Populists, will not forget them in their platform. The people in the hall were many of them strangers, and not all of them need ed yellow badges to signify that they had left the plow dawn. on the farm long enough to respond to the call of Farmer BreidenthaL There were many home people there. The meeting1 was called by the "Woman's Progressive Political league of Topeka to give the Populist women of Kansas a chance to put a few finishing touches to their case before it goes to the jury today. Biiii A. Otis, whose husband was in congress, presided on the occasion, and found it very hard to talk loud enough to make everybody hear. Mrs. Carrie Lana Chapman Catt was the principal speaker, She spoke here two weeks ago. She "has come back," as the popular song has it, and everybody is glad she has. Mrs. Catt is a superb orator. Her lan guage and choice of words are models. Among other things Mrs. Catt said the Republican state convention didn't rep reseat the rank and tile of the party. "It was a packed convention from be ginning to end and the Populists will drive the lust nail in their coffin if they follow the example of the Republicans." This provoked the loudest applause of the evening. Mrs. Catt, while not an avowed Popu list, admitted that the women owe a debt of gratitude to that party, especially in Colorado. She called equal suffrage "taking a tuck out of the constitution," which is getting too small for a growing people. Mrs. C Ingersoll Tucker of Cherry vale, who looks like Mrs. Hiilmon, said that with equal suffrage this country would be a fit dwelling place for tho un detiled. She added that the forefathers who tried to plant a free country hero had failed because the nation wasn't built on the foundation of truth. Mrs. E. V. Crum of Burlingame, said equal suffrage was a natural growth and could not be retarded. She said also that the present unrest was just as na tural as that a baby should be cross when teething. The women understand such inotaphor3 as this. She concluded with a poem something about those who "dared and tried." Eva L. Corning, the youngest cam paigner, who is also a very good elocu tionist said, "Their is no use to preach the golden rule when one half of the hu man raco is deprived of its rights. V omen have passed the mile-post of superstition and the world is on the inreshoid of an upheaval of thought" She said regarding the question of the "bad ot the lirst Presbyterian church for women vote," that if the men would look cak.e3 and coffee5 to the Columbian asso after the bad men vote the women would Z111? for thV? SeneroU3 lft ot. moaey. take care of the bad women rote and not have so much to do, either. Elizabeth Wardail of Dakota, spoke on "VV omen vs. the Sioux Indians." Mrs. A P. Stryker, of Great Bend, who wore a swell dress that looked like one of Worth s, and is a very pretty woman, talked about "political sense." She said if there was any man in Kansas who could tell what the Republican party stood for except irrigation she would like to see him. She said the late con vention was run by the "machine." Emma Trouder, president of the Osage County Alliance, spoke on "The Office Seeker." She is a comfortable looking lady of middle age and talks slowly. She described the office seeker aa a beggar on the political highway. Mrs. Anna Champ, editor of the An derson county "Sunflower," who is a very iDghivliUleIadJr mada ood talk about Backbone." Fannie R. Vickery, who ia also pretty, poke briefly about "Our Foremothers" and then announced a collection, during which a trio composed of two young women and one old man sang. "Look VoteP" ow, de Women's Owine to B.1Ia nJ DIffff w the last speaker. She said, "The snnbbing of MrsT Laura roans oa this platform last week by the tremendous stock of Clothing; Men's All Wool Sack and Frock styles, spJendidlymade,none ever sold for less than 310.00, $9.00, $8.00 and 7.00 Choice now There never was time when $2.95 Republicans was the most shameful thing 1 ever saw. I am sorry for her, but she ought to know better than to be a Republican." She added that the Populist women didn't expect to be snubbed. SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NEWS.

The false moustache man was on the street last evening trying to work the youthful, beardless Populist. The women are responsible for the Populist badge3 being yellow.

There must be a teachers' institute in town," said a man this morning; "there are so many pretty girls going past." There are no Republicans in town to day, and the Copeland has seized the op portunity to have its front porch painted. The Union Veterans league will ratify the nominations or the Kepubucan state convention at the court house Thursday night. One of the Populist delegates was seen today wearing a delegate badge on one side and a woman suffrage badge on the other. Capt J. S. White who was a prominent farmer of Mission township, is a delegate from Arkansas City where he is engaged in farming. Tomorrow evening George Bright will sing a solo at the Union Christian En deavor meeting at the First Congrega tional church. Miss Viola Troutman is acting secre tary of the Y. W. C A, while Miss Em ma Burgess is attending the Summer Bi ble school at Ottawa. The man who is in town today with a linen duster and a look of astonishment, and with a railway check in his hat, is a Populist delegate. Dick Chase came over from the peni tentiary yesterday and brought the board of penitentiary directors with him to prove that his record is clean. The Populist delegates go about in squads as though they feared there might be a Republican uprising. It may be, however, that they are simply afraid of Miss Anthony. Ingleside's 31 ay Iteport. The report of the matron of Inglesida for the month of May shows that 350 meals and 113 lodgings have been given in charity. The number in family was 24; of these 12 were charity.

TIIE NEW CASTLE GARDEN. Congressional Committee to Visit Ellis Island to Get Pointers. Washington, June 12. This week has been decided upon by the house commit tee of immigration for its visit to Ellis island to secure information on the sub ject of regulations under the new law. Secretary Geissenhainer was as Ellis island Saturday and Sunday and saw the landing and inspection of 400 arrivals from Russia and 130 from Ireland. Most of them went west, some to California aud a few were tagged through to their friends. Speaking of the intended trip Repre sentative Geissenhainer said: "There is one defect in the present law the com mittee desires to remedy. We cannot connect the contract laborer with the employer. He is sent back home and then your witness is gone. The em ployer rather than the laborer is the one who should be punished for these viola tions of the laws. Emigrants cannot corrpliin that injustice is marked how ever, for placards are posted in all the foreign offices of steamship companies and elsewhere giving the law in the va rious foreign languages. "Incidentally, the committee wants to know the cause of the falling off in im migration, whether it is due to the new laws, to the tarifi, or to the financial de pression and impoverishment of the world. I think the decrease is due to the law. Every large manfacturing country is experiencing the same depression we are, so that as conditions of business are equal the decrease must be due to anoth er agency. "Under the new law 1,200 men have been returned in a year, where 400 were returned under the old. Another ques tion which the committee partly con siders within its power to investigate, but which congress should be enlight ened upon is whether the labor troubles of recent years (those of which the Homestead strike may be taken as the best example) are due to contract labor, or natural causes. If contract labor is responsible, we know what to do. If they arise from natural causes every case should have its own remedy."

Fizzle of the Berlin Silver Conference Hryan Tells a Story. Washington, June 12. The adjourn ment of the Berlin silver commission, without making a definite recommenda tion, is a subject of more or less com ment among senators and members who take interest in the silver question since the result was announced. The news is somewhat of a disappointing nature to those who had been hopeful that the commission would pave the way to an international conference which should proceed without the co-operation of Great Britain, but the advocates of an independent financial policy for this country do not share the disappointment In referring to the announcement from Berlin, Senator Teller said that he re gretted the fact that no recommendation favorable to Bilver had been made. "The commission was," he said, "the outgrowth of the discontent among the agrarian classes, and was appointed by the government in response to the strong pro-silver sentiment in the agricultural section of Germany. I have never un derstood that it wafi expected to do more than collect information in regard to the situation, or if it was the original pur pose that the commission should make a recommendation, I think that was aban doned some time since. "The proceedings of the commission are public, I understand, and of course will be of benefit to the silver cause to the extent that they educate the masses of the German people. I should have been gratified if the commission had led to an international meeting but it was hardly to be hoped in view of the de claration of the German representatives at the Brussels conference, that Germany would so soon reverse her position and enter into a conference of this question in which England did not par ticipate. Outside of the educating effect of the publication of the proceedings.I do not think the work of the commission will have any effect unless it be to in crease th9 conviction, which is already growing in this country that the United States will have to take this question in hand and act independently of other nations." The silver leaders in the house say that the adjournment of the Berlin con ference without definite results is an other evidence that the United States must execute her own financial policy, without waiting for foreign nations. Some of the Republican leaders of the house, who have recently become ident ified with the restoration of silver ideas, express regret that more was not accom plished at Berlin. Burrows takes this view of the failure and says that it shows that Germany is similarly situated to the United States, in that she cannot act alone. This being recognized here and in Germany, Mr. Burrows says it hastens the time when silver using nations will come together in concerted action. Representative Bryan, the lieutenant of Mr. Bland was moved, by the failure of the Berlin conference to tell a story. It reminded him of the partridge which had her nest in the wheat The farmer threatened to bring his neighbor and cut the wheat,but the bird said to her young, "We need not move yet" The neighbor failed to help the farmer so he turned to his intimate friend to help him cut the wheat Again the bird said: "We need not move yet" But the friend failed to help the farmer. Thereupon the farmer got mad ana said he would cut the wheat himself, l hereupon the bird said: "It is time for ua to move." After telling the story Mr. Bryan added: "As long as we wait for Ger many and England nothing will be done toward restoring silver, but as soon as we recognize that the interests of our people are submitted to the wishes of foreign countries and act ourselves, the sooner will Bilver be restored to its form er place on an equality with gold and the sooner will prosperity return to our industries."

Wire In Iresses Helping- the Girl Wom an's Suffrage and Woman's Brain The Woman on a Bicycle Too Many Essays at One Sitting: Thrust Into Busiavesa. It -was goofl to be at Philadelphia at the second biennial convention of the General Federation of the "Women's Clubs, and it was lots of fun. When all is said, there is probably no one who en joys women more than a woman. Al though she takes herself individually very seriously, she has a happy faculty of putting herself on the outside When looking, at the rest of her sex, and she finds them Tery amusing. For example, almost every other wom an when she went into the room in the New Century clubhouse, where her rail road tickets were to be vised for the re duced rates, found that the railroad had sent as agent to receive them a man who was very deaf. No questions were need ed to be asked tho certificates told the story, and tho agent did his work with skill and dispatch, but the women saw the htimor of it. "Isn't it ftmny?" "Perfectly deli cious!" ''I suppose they thought we should talk him to death!" these and similar comments betrayed their appre ciation and .enjoyment of the situation. And at the hotel wHere most of the delegates staid, when a woman rushed up to the office and eagerly asked, "Did Mrs. So-and-so leave a message forme?" it was the questioner herself and the women about who laughed genially when the clerk suggested that a reply would be facilitated if he knew who "me" was. The clerk did not smile then or at any time when seen. He took the women very solemnly and was over heard once to groan out a wish under his breath to a fellow clerk that the convention would sit in continuous ses sion, taking no recess to let the women loose. In point of fact, the convention was just like a men's convention, and the women did no more foolish things than a similar assorted body of men would do; hut, being women, they were subject to a keener criticism, and, being women also, they had a much better time than men do at conventions, for the flavor of novelty is still in them to us. Seriously again, it was good to bo in Philadelphia. Such a gathering, with representatives from the north and south and east and west, brings a social con tact that the women of the country need more than the men because they do not get it so often. That was one of the great benefits of the Columbian exposi tion the extension of acquaintance among the women of the nation and if these national sessions had no other aim they would still begood things. One thing the looker on could not fail to observe the development of women in the matter of conducting affairs. The sessions were easily handled, and the business of each was promptly con ducted. There were a poise and an equi librium to the body that have been want ing in women's gatherings, but are grow ing to be less and less missed. There was an absence, too, of the smart talk and cheap flings at men and other institu tions that all women do respect and admire, but which some of them think it clever to poke fun at. The federation was a dignified and well bred assem blage, and it went about its business in a self respecting way without self con sciousness or complacent importance. There are critics even among club wom en who question the usefulness of the federation, and some of them doubted if the body, would reach a second bien nial. It certainly has, and passed it successfully, and by its demeanor at this time demonstrated not only its cause of being, but its right as well to many future biennials. Her Point of View in New York Times. Wire In Iresse. Among ingenious devices for holding expanded sleeves in the desired shape an authority on dressmaking, Worth, is using a single threadlike wire stitched in the upper edge of tho sleeve drapery. This is not put in simple balloon puffs, but in a scarf around the top of close sleeves, starting in the inside seam, then curving out togivo breadth, droop ing to show the sleeve underneath and sewed to it without meeting. The open draped top is then faced with ribbon of a contrasting color, and the tiny wire is stitched along, tho upper edge in the seam which adds the facing. Thus a shot pink and green surah waist has sleeves of this kind faced with a black moire ribbon 2 inches wide, holding a wire in the edge of the top. Other trim ming on the waist is a bib friilof white guipure falling low from a stock of black moire ribbon and almost reaching a belt of the same. Another novel way of giving breadth to new gowns is that of putting a slen der whalebone in a revers or huge bow extending straight across from the throat out on the wide sleeves. This is an ex treme fancy, somewhat like the incroy able revers and bows in the directory period. A straight length of silk four or five fingers wide is folded across in fan plaits, then strapped in the middle, and a whalebone is hemmed in along the upper edge. When set on at the throat, the plaits each side of the strap fall like an open fan from below the whale bone top, and thus .make an effective drapery for the waist. A very rich gown with waist of white Venetian guipure lace has such a bow of pale blue silk brocaded with purple violets. The lace sleeves have wired tops of the silk, and the skirt is of cloth of the lightest shade of Parma violets. Boston Advertiser. I Helping the Girls. The Girls' Friendly Society lodge at Atlantic City is an unpretentious cot tage at the corner of Rhode Island and Atlantic avenues. A short time before Miss Letitia Townsend's death last year, at a diocesan meeting of the Girls' ft K ff 1 jj? "j THE NEW CLEARING HOUSE To be erected on Cedar street at a cost Friendly society, held in Camden, N. J., Miss Townsend strongly advocated the establishment of a seashore home for girls, and this fulfillment of her wishes, in accordance with her plans and ideas, seems a fitting memorial of her and her life work. The house is under the management of the Girls' Friendly society of the diocese3 of Pennsylvania and New Jer sey, the board of managers being select ed from both states. Miss Ellen Horner of Philadelphia is chairman. The pres ent building is rented for one year only, but it is hoped that this may be the be ginning of a permanent institution, to be owned by the society. The house was formally opened on Monday, April 16. Its purpose is to provide a good home at low rates for working girls requiring sea air on their annual vacations. Combined with good board and health giving air will be all the refinements and influences of a cul tivated church home. The board is placed at $7 a week for associates, $3 a week for members and $3. 50 a week for any well recommended self supporting girL The building has 12 sleeping rooms, a dining room, office, parlor and other receptions rooms. It is in charge of Miss Charlotte Reese of Philadelphia. All rooms in the Girls' Friendly So ciety lodge are furnished by branches of the society in Philadelphia and through New Jersey, and each is designated by a flower instead of a number. Phila delphia Ledger. Woman's Suffrage and Woman's Brain. The present very active and enlight ening agitation over the question of woman's suffrage calls up again the many now established facts about the physiological differences in the nervous system of the sexes. Not very long ago Sir James Crichton Brown delivered a series of lectures in which he aimed to show from actual data that the brains of women were not only relatively smaller than, but essentially different in structural arrangement and functional characteristics from, those of man. He in particular showed that the vertebral arteries in woman are larger in propor ton to the carotids than they are in men, and that the cerebellum and pos terior parts of the brain were, there fore, more nourished proportionately. The brain of woman is 4 per cent small er than that of man after deducting the factors of height and weight (Debierre), and woman's brain as soon as it reaches its apogee begins to decline in weight, so that senile atrophy is manifested sooner than in man. There is no doubt, we believe, in the minds of physiologists that tho mental characteristics of woman have a struc tural basis in the conformation and amount of her nervous tissues, and that no amount of training will make the male and female brains alike. Of course all this does not in the least prove that woman's mind is not adapted to the demands of suffrage or of political, jury and military duty. It only shows that the result of confer ring suffrage cannot be positively pre dicted either one way or the other, since it would be injecting into our political system an entirely new factor. Med ical Record. The Woman on a Bicycle. There is a new terror in town. It goeth forth like a lion, seeking whom it may run down. It is more to be dreaded than a car of Juggernaut, because it can speed around the square while the Juggernaut is turning the corner. It is more terrible than an army with banners yea, than an army of nurses "with baby buggies. It is what need to say? the woman on a bycicle. Pedestrians have some slight protec tion against the man on a bicycle when he goes on a rampage. They can scurry out into the gutter and kick mud at him. They can scramble upon the fence and hurl hard hunks of language at him. They can subsidize a teamster and sick a coal cart on him. They can lug around baseball bat walking canes and knock him out on the fly now and then. They can even carry their guns at half cock and bring him down on the wing, if quick enough on trigger. But the worn- an on a bicycle is another thing alto gether. The public has long since recog nized the fact that it is at the mercy of the woman on a pavement, especially if she walk double or triple file, and more BUILDING, NEW YORK CITY. of .300,000.

Louisville Courier-JournaL Too Slany Essays at One Sitting. Somebody attended lately a ladies' luncheon, where, as soon as the mate rial courses had been hurried through, tho guests were called upon to listen to 25. papers, read by as many different authors, upon the question, "How Does Woman Best Fulfill Her Mission?" Speaking about the entertainment the next day, I ventured to demur a little, Baying that at home one read for im provement, but out of doors for amuse ment, wiien a very pretty and elegant matron told me that she made it a point no longer to go into society when the entertainment consisted only of trivial conversation. "A party in a parlor all silent," listening to somebody on a plat form who reads, recites, addresses and lectures, seems to be the modern idea of social edification. Augustine Birrell has remarked that in America we seem still to love talk for it3 own sake and really enjoy sitting and being declaimed at in a loud voice, delighting In the rolling sentence and the lofty and familiar sentiment. And it is certainly the fact that, let any one nowadays stand up and read a paper or recite a memorized speech, no matter on what subject, everybody listens, every heart scams reft ished by the overflow, tvery intellectual need stilled. Indeed ao little wit, skill, grace and clever powers of adaptation are pressed into service for .drawing room entertain ments, and so long as they go for what they are worth I am grateful enough, only I am tired of the dismal necessity of being instructed at every turn. At lantic Monthly. Thrust Into Business. Mrs. Harriet W. R. Strong of Ran shito del Fuerto, near Los Angeles, had Beven exhibits at Chicago oranges, lemons and walnuts in the Horticultural building, and others in the Mining and Agricultural buildings. She is a mem ber of the chamber of commerce in Los Angeles and has just given bonds to the amount of $100,000 as treasurer of an irrigation district. Mrs. Strong is one of the many women who have been thrust into the business world without preparation, for it. Her husband, Mr. Charles L. Strong, was the first superin tendent of the Comstock mine. He died 10 years ago, leaving his'wife and four daughters only a small life insurance, which was soon swallowed up in litiga tion. Mrs. Strong was under Dr. Weir Mitchell's care in Philadelphia when the news of her husband's death came to her. Returning to Oakland, her home in California, she took her young chil dren to the south, where she had an in terest in an entirely uncultivated ranch of 320 acres. Against the persuasion of all her friends, Mrs. Strong determined to cultivate thi3 ranch. She borrowed $4,000 and set to work. Every one thought she was demented and would die in the attempt. Today 225 of the 320 acres are under cultivation 75 acres are in English walnuts and 75 in oranges of the finest species. Thirty-five acres are waving with pampas grass, hundreds of dollars' worth of which she sells in Europe every year. Working Woman's JournaL Not True In Case.

Says Me Will Have the President Order Oat the Troops. Cincinnati. June 12. The dissatisfac tion over the compromise agreement be tween the operators and onicerd of the United June workers at Columbus, nas caused more apprehension in some quar ters, especially railroad circles. United btates Alarshal JLienry liohl was attending court when summoned here by Judge Taft, of the United States court, today and ordered to ex haust his office in swearing in deputy marshals to enforce the court's injunc tion against interfering with the run ning of trains and especially on the 13. O. system. Judge laft was very severe in his or ders toward Bohl to suppress all viola tions of the order of tne court, and stated that if the marshal could not se cure enough deputies for the purpose the court would immediately call on President Cleveland for troops. It is stated that the commandants of Fort Thomas and Columbus Garrison are advised to be in readiness. Marshal Bohl swore in 50 deputies at once and expects to have several hundred before he leaves at 6 o'clock for Columbus. lie will get recruits along the way, stopping at Columbus from 9:40 till midnight, where recruits are to rendezvous and be in waiting for swearing in. Marshal Bohl will then leave Colum bus at midnight with a large force of deputies to be stationed at different points from Cambridge and Bellaire, es pecially at Wheeling Creek and Bridge port. Marshal Bohl swore in many old soldiers and railroad men, the latter be ing very indignant over the situation to day. Judge Taft's order is not alone pre ventative, but absolute on the point of ar resting every one interfering with trains. NELLIE GRANT ENGAGED. Sirs. Sartorla 3Iay Soon Be Married Again. Washington, June 12. Washington is discussing with interest a rumor of an engagement between Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris and General Henry Kyd Douglas, adjutant general of the state of Maryland. .Mrs. bartons, before leaving the citv to join Mrs. Grant in New York, denied that there was any truth in the report, but since her departure of one her close friends has stated that in a letter recent ly received from her the engagement la admitted. General Douglas is a bachelor. CLEVELAND'S ILLNESS. It Does Not Yield to Treatment But la IS" ot Serious. Washington, June 13. President Cleveland's ailment has not yielded to treatment as rapidly as was expected. Today Dr. O'Heilly recommended that he keep as quiet as possible and avoid all physical efforts. This precaution was all the more prudent in view of the very warm weather. Consequently the president kept to his room and did not undertake to receive any visitors or disturb himself until the hour set for the cabinet meeting when he appeared at his office. The doctor expressed the opinion that his patient would be about in a day or two if he re mains quiet. DRECK MAY NOT RUN. A Concerted Move to Induce the Old Man to Withdraw. Louisville, June 12. A special to the Post from Lexington says: There is a rumor here today that CoL Breckinridge will withdraw from the race. His brother Caleb Breckinridge has been here consulting close friends of the Colonel. and it is eaid to be their wish, as well as that of relatives of Col.

Concluded from First Page. in the caucus and made a fight to the finish for the nomination. The three candidates before the caucus were R. 8. Osborn of Rooks county, C F. Johnson of Phillips county, and J. W. Amis of Smith county. After much discussion the caucus finally at 10:30 o'clock, declared in favor of the nomination of J. W. Amis of Smith county, who received 69 out of the 102 votes in. the caucus. It Is conceded that this will give Mr. Amis the nomination in the convention. IF THERE IS DISCUSSION Got. LewtllUg Will Not Accept m Ite nomination. Governor Lewelling remained in his office today while a special messenger brought him bulletins of the proceed ings of the convention. A few friends are .with him and he re ceives the reports with much interest. When the news was r eceived that Hen derson was elected temporary chairman the governor said: "That is a victory for the suffragists, isn't it?" He relapsed into meditative silence. A Journal reporter asked: "You are Bure of the nomination, aren't you?" ''I don't know; you cannot tell what a Populist convention will do. The dele gates don't fix up things like the Repub licans. They won't stand any combina tion. The report went out that Brown was the administration candidate for temporary chairman, which was not true, but you see he was turned down just the same." "Will you accept the nomination if it is made?" "I do not know yet whether I shall ac cept the nomination or not, but if it comes to me with enthusiasm and the utmost unanimity I shall accept. If I find that the opposition is serious and that it will injure the chances of the party at the election in November I shall decline the nomination." READY FOB SUFFRAGE. DnoBmori Say He it Very Friendly to the movement. Ex-Speaker Dunsmore, of the Popu list house of representatives, went to Representative hall as soon as he reached the city. He went up to the speaker's stand and stood proudly up behind the speaker's desk and surveyed the empty chairs in the room. "You see," he said, "right here is where I slept, and there is where Douglass stretched out and kept me company." "We won't have any more legislative wars," said he, "for the Populists have things their own way now." "How do you stand on the suffrage question?" "I am very friendly to it. I think we ought to declare the fact that the matter is now before the public and that it is a question which every one should con sider, but that no man's political affilia tion should be determined by his vote on the question. I ehall accept the judg ment of the convention whatever it is." WILLIT'S NOT HERE. He la Given Business in Dakota Through BreldenthaL "Where is Willits?" anxiously asked a delegate today. Nobody seemed to know, but a Jour nal, reporter was told that he was in Dakota. "He was not ao much opposed to the administration after all," said another delegate. "1 will tell you how that was worked, interposed a well known Populist. "He is just as much opposed to the administration as ever but Breidenthal fixed it so that he would not be here. He sent up to Dakota and had them offer Willits a good round sum to go up there and make a speech or two and he went. Ihe same thing was done with Scott two years ago when the crowd was a little leary of him. He was sent to Tennessee. That's how it happens that Willits is not here today." WHERE IS THIS CROWD f Rreidenthal'a Wnaron Brigade Not on Usnd to Attand the Con v. nt ion. The big crowd that was expected to be on hand to attend the convention failed to materialize and not a single farmer's team was found on the State fair grounds this morning. The grounds had been secured by Chairman Breidenthal as a camping ground and various estimates were given out as to the number expect ed, varying from 2,500 to 10,000. Dele gations in wagons were expected from all surrounding counties. AGAINST SUFFRAGE. The Sixth District la Oppoaed to Ita Going in the Platform. The first caucus of the convention was held at Lincoln Post hall last night and the Sixth district delegates selected their members of the committee on resolu tions, credentials and members of the state central committee. The sentiment in the caucus was against suffrage, and J. f Hicks, of Be- loit, an anti-suffragist, was chosen to rep resent the district on the committee on resolutions. W. W. Mettler was named as a mem ber of the committee on resolutions, and J. F. Hale, of Jewell, and O. L. Smith, of Phillips, were selected members of the new state central committee. A. li Montgomery, of Goodland, was chairman of the caucus. THE WOHKNif ENEMY. P. P. Elder Manipulating the Conven tion Againat Sufirsge. P. P. Elder, speaker of the first Popu list house of representatives is a member of the committee on resolutions and the women who hope for a suffrage plank looked scared when they heard he was on the committee, and well they might, for Elder is a fighter, and he will oppose the plank with all his power. "I am against suffrage," said he to a reporter, "and I don't care who knows it. I do not favor putting it into the platform because it is a distinct proposi tion submitted by the legislature and it is unwise to commit a party to the measure when it is pending before the people. I do not believe they can put it into the platform." "What about nominating the old ticket?" "Half the delegates are not in favor of endorsing the mistakes of the adminis tration, but the opposing sentiment has not crystallized. They have not been able to unite on any one. I do not think that anything could have prevented, the nomination of Harris for governor if he would accept it, but as it is Lewelling j will be renominated. His mistakes have been in his judgment of human nature and the men in the party "Do you think the Populists will carry Kansas?" "Yes; I believe we will carry the state by 20,000. Our issues will be state issues, local legislation and the coinage ques tion. We want silver at 16 to 1. The Re publicans have no platform. It is mis erably, washy and meaningless. They forgot two words, 'sound currency' and 'honest money,' which have been in all tneir platforms for fifteen years. They also forgot to say anything against the Democrats. "What do you think of that?" asked he, with a knowing wink. "That is all I have to say. Now if you use my picture don't use that one they have used in Kansas City. It makes me look like Sitting Bull, and you can see yourself that I am a pretty good looking man." ANNA SHAW AND INGALLS. Something About the Repnbliena Plavt form lie i u g Like Bnrnlahed Brail. The Woman's Progressive Political league held a meeting yesterday after noon at Representative halL Mrs. Bina A. Otis delivered her an nual address. Miss Susan B. Anthony was called. Among other things she said: "I have received letters from prominent Repub licans begging me not to go before the Populist convention to ask for a suffrage plank. They tell me they are afraid it will injure our cause. They have grown extremely solicitous all at once about the suffrage cause." This was said with a tinge of sarcasm which provoked a great deal of laughter. "Now," she said, "I will say to you as Napoleon said, 'wait till you see what your enemy is going to do and then do the other thing.' Rev. Anna Shaw was the next speak er. "We asked the Republicans for a suffrage plank," she said, "and the only thing they gave us was a low, coarse, vulgar, contemptible song which was a disgrace to the state." (The speaker re ferred to the song entitled, "Throw a Dollar at Me," sung by one of the Mo docs, attired to impersonate Mrs. Lease.) Speaking of the Republican platform she said: "Ingalls says it is smooth as burnished brass." I think it is, for it is so smooth you can't stand on it any place. I come from down east, where they have eels, but I never saw an eel as slippery as that platform." Mrs. Chapman Catt spoke for a few moments. She closed with the words: "If I were a Populist I would rather go down to defeat with a suffrage plank in a sensible platform than to victory with a platform that means nothing." Mrs. Diggs introduced the following resolution, which was adopted without a dissenting vote. The delegates present voted for the resolution: Whereas, The People's party came into existence and won its glorious vic tory on the fundamental principle of equal rights to all and special privileges to none, therefore be it Resolved, That the delegates of the Woman's Progressive league, in conven tion assembled, declare in favor of the pending constitutional amendment, and we ask our party to place itself on rec ord in favor of this measure of justice. THEY DEMAND A CHANGE. Opponenta of the Prment Administration Hold at Meeting. An anti-administration meeting was held at Trades' Assembly hall last night. The crowd was about evenly divided be tween those favorable and those opposed to the administration, but the delegates who were for the administration were in the back part of the hall and applauded vigorously any favorable reference to Lewelling. N. M. Thompson of Wyandotte county was the chairman of the meeting. Frank Radford of Topeka was the first speaker, and arraigned the administra tion for political manipulation of the Populist county convention. An affidavit was read from Patrick Langdon, ex-police commissioner of Atchison. The affidavit stated that joints and gambling houses were run at Atchi son. The police board had been fixed up to wink at the evasion of the law and that the old board was dis charged because they would not cater to the whisky element. It also stated that Adjutant General Davis was sent to Atchison by Governor Lewelling to make this change, and it was currently understood that he had received 800 to have the old board removed. Q. A Baldwin, chairman of the county central committee, of Leavenworth, de nounced Governor Lewelling for ap pointing Mrs. Blackman on the police board contrary to the wishes of Leaven worth Populists. T. H. Gallagher of Leavenworth, said that the administration delegates were allowed their expenses to the convention and given $5 besides. F. H. Pettengill, president of the Leavenworth county alliance: "If the delegates from our county vote for the administration they wont express the sentiments of Leavenworth Populists." Ed. S. Waterbury of Lyon county: "1 have found that you are not all sore heads, but I am for the administration." D. J. Smith, member of the Populist state central committee, from MePherson county: "I got out of a sick bed to come here and I am not well enough to talk to you, but I could tell you a story of Dick Chase, Breidenthal and others; of fraud and debauchery, that would cause the scales to fall from your eyes. I want to predict that if the old crowd is nomi nated we won't be in it in November, and many good Populists feel just like Ida" Warren Foster of Hutchinson: "I am for Lewelling and I consider this the most disgraceful meeting I ever attend ed." The words had scarcely left his mouth when there were loud cries of "shut up" and "put him out," "why don't you get out of here, then?" but he held his ground and made an administra tion speech. S. W. Coombs of Riley county eaid he had been boycotted out of that county be cause he was a Populist and that he had come back to fight the administration because it was made up of a fusion crowd. Nels Anderson a man of Swedish birth, of this county, made a hot admin istration speech, lie eaid Lewelling was a friend of the poor and that he would like to exchange bank accounts with him on high. He then marched majes tically out of the hall as if he were afraid some one intended to call upon him to balance his account. Cyrus Corning spoke against Lewell ing. Judge Hadley and C. W. Marsh, dele gates from Arkansas City, both said they were here to oppose the administration because of fusion deals. No formal ac tion was taken by the meeting. MRS. LEASE WON'T COME. She Will Probably Not Visit Topeka Until Friday, If At All. Mrs. Lease is not attending the con vention and will not be here until Fri day. She was well enough today to go to Osawatomie and will remain there un til she comes to Topeka, The state house officials make light of the story that she will be nominated for congressman-at-large. They say that Harris will be renominated without opposition. If. is now said by the friends of Mrs. Lease that she will be nominated by the prohibitionists for congressman-at-large, and she expects to receive the support of the middle of the road Populists who are opposed to Harris because he is a Demo crat A story was telegraphed 'from Wash ington yesterday that Congressman Har ris was fearful lest he would be turned down in the state convention by a woman, but the story was hooted at by those who pretend to know how the convention stands on the question of his renomina tion. MRS. DIGGS IS JOYFUL. She la Sure the Suffragists Will Be Well Treated Now. The suffragists are more than happy over the result of this morning's session' of the convention. Mrs. Annie L. Diggs, who is to go be fore the committee on resolutions and lead the fight for the insertion of a suf frage plank in the platform, said after the noon adjournment: "The sentiment of the convention is with us, and the se lection of Ben S. Henderson as chair man was a big victory for our cause. The selection of the committees from the congressional districts is not just what we wanted with Henderson as chairman, but it is as broad as it is long, and we can well afford to take our chances with the convention." When Mrs. Diggs goes before the com mittee on resolutions she will take with her an enormous petition containing the names of over nine thousand men and women from twenty-seven counties ask ing for a suffrage plank in the platform. The petition reads as follows: "To the People's party In convention as sembled in Topeka on June 12: We the undersigned declare with Abraham Lin coln that we 'go for all sharing the privileges of the government who assist in bearing its burdens, by no means ex cluding women.' "The privilege of helping the gov ernment is now denied to the women of Kansas. The pending amendment pro poses to right this wrong, and we hereby call upon you as one of the parties re sponsible for the submission of the amendment, to make favorable platform utterances on this question." COULDN'T NIEK THE CUE How a Populist Delegation Looking for Ifeer Got Fooled. About fifteen of the third partyites who arrived in town yesterday from their mortgage-burdened farms conclud ed that this was a right good time to flush their gutters of any superfluous grain chaii that might have lodged therein. Accordingly they found a bootblack who put them onto the loca tion of the "Capital Club" and they made the tedious ascent up two flights of stairs and rang the bell. After a deathlike period of anxiety a waiter appeared and opened the door. "What do you fellows want?" he de manded. "Beer," breathed the delegation as one man. in tones not unlike the soulful trill of trre corn sheller. "Are you members of this club?" asked the white-aproned autocrat with a snap that made one man bite his tongue. "No o," they faltered as they hung to each other's coat backs, a procession that looked like the tail of the Demo cratic eagle trailing down the stairway. "Then you don't get in here," and the door closed with a click that seemed to their thirsty minds the slamming of the gates of paradise. CONSERVATIVE ON SILVER Nebraska Republicans Touching the Sub ject Very Glngerlr. Omaha, June 12.

The Chroni cle revives the story that George Crocker is causing trouble "in Southern Pacific railway circles and that he was posi tively denied the privilege of withdraw ing his share of the great Crocker estate from the Southern Pacific pooL. The Chronicle says young Crocker made a formal demand upon the Crocker heirs whose interests are managed by the Crocker company to withdraw every cent of his money and his share of his father's estate from the railroad. He wants to have nothing to do with trans portation companies. When Charles Crocker died, the story goes, his affairs were so arranged that George Crocker was not to receive his division of the estate for five years, and then it was conditioned that young George must cease his dissipation. For live years the young man has led a quiet life, and as a result he has re ceived $400,000 in the last few months. This placed him in an independent posi tion, and now he is demanding what he claims to be his rights. The Chronicle states that C P. Hunt ington's practical usurpation of all power in the Pacific Improvement company has agitated Mrs. Stanf ord as well as George Crocker and that both are determined to withdraw. Their demands for a count ing, it is said will be resisted by Hunt ington, who is said to have threatened that if they withdraw from the Pacifio Improvement company, they must dis pose of their shares in the open market. No decisive action is looked for until Crocker, who was recently married in Now York returns from his wedding trip to Europe. Thsmss H. Bain's Candidacy. Thomas IL Bain, who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for pro bate judge, has been a resident of this city for the past fourteen years. During that time he has been found to be an honorable lawyer and a courteous gentle man. Neither his business nor his polit ical integrity has ever been called in question. During the last ten years he has taken an active part in city, county and state politics and has at all times been loyal to the Republican party, doing his full share of work in any place to which he might be assigned He has never held a county office or asked for one before, and his support of party and friends is always hearty, aggressive and given vol untarily. He is well qualified to fill the office he seeks. He is a good speaker and has the faculty of making friends wherever he goes. Beat Soda, all flavors, at Stansfield'a, 632 Kas. ave.

GREETING: You are invited to attend a course of lectures to be given in Representative hall on Friday and Saturday evenings, June 15 and 16, by Prof. I. F. Vail of California, on the following subject, viz: "Mozaic Elen and Primitive Man." "Glacial Epochs and the Deluge." "l he Great Red Dragon." "The Gods Unveiled." "Irue Coal Theory." "Eden's Flaming Sword." Prof. Vail is the author of the "An nular System" and '-Story of the Gods." The originator of the "Vailian Theory" of the Philosophy of Mythology, Geol ogy, and Astronomy, in harmony with Revelation. He comes to us as a rare master-builder in the science of world building and world declension. His deep research into the veiled mysteries makes him a profound speaker as well as a pleasant and entertaining reasoner. His ''Mythology Illuminated" will be a wonderful key to the philosophy of the origin of human worship. "His great gifts of wielding the inexorable weapons of law and logic are unanswerable," says Capt. Carter, of the Pennsylvania Mili tary academy. Many of the most ardent admirers of the Vailian theory, who have written of it, are to be found in all the leading col leges and universities, and in all classes of Christian thought, as well as liberal investigators. Many teachers and ministers of Kan sas have entrenched themselves behind this bulwark of world-life, and universal law. The professor will give us a short visit to the leading towns, and no one should miss this opportunity of a life time, to hear this able lecturer. Terms made with the undersigned with your pastor or teaceer. Twenty-five cents for lecture to the public. Prof. James H. Lathrop, 631 Kansas avenue. PREPS GRADUATE.
