Toi'KKA, Kan., March •>.—This morn-
ing. Householder and other Populist
senators tiled the following protest
igjimst the passage of the Harris rail-
road bill:
"Mr. President: We. the under-
tinned senators, l>eg leave to file this,
>ur protest, against the action of this
senate in passing? the Harris railroad
hill No. r#M. We voted for this bill
when it first passed the senate, hoping*
and believing that the house would
amend it by inserting a maximum
schedule, but this the house did not
do. and now we protest against the
bill:
"First—llecause it is not the meas-
ure we promised the people.
"Second— Because we fear and be-
lieve it will not give the people the re-
lief they demand and are entitled to
"Third—llecuuse we believe it is but
very little, if any, better than the law
now on the statute books.
"Wh'le these are our opinions of
this bill, yet. feeling that we have
done all we could to redeem our
pledges and keep faith with the peo-
ple, and inspired by the hope that our
worst fears may not Ik* realized and
that some good possibly may result
from the passage of this measure, we
are constrained to vote 'aye'—M. A.

THE IN AUGURAL BALL.
It Wu« tlie (0luiai of the <ire t |l; y uf
(httenni hplmiilnr.
WAtHIKGff'N. March il.—The inaujc*
urrl bull was the climax of the day.
To tho minds of many thore was noth-
ing comparable to it. The ;>.nslon
building is admirably Milted for this
spectacular display. It is un enor-
mous hall mrroundin^ a vast court
supported by huge pillars of marble,
around whjph circle two galleries, it
lends itself to the most artistic decora-
tions and it was never so beautifully
decorated i|ud festooned and lighted.
Hundred* rtf eanar.es in gold cages,
tucked away in the greenery, sang
madly. The iiresof thousands of elec-
tric lights Hashed amid the flowers
and drapel\v. The artistic effect of
the lights was probably never equaled,
rtainly not surpassed in this coun-
try.
The most striking feature was an
enormouH counterpart of "old glory,"
done in red. white and blue bulbs, so
arranged that it seemed to be tioating
in a stiff breeze. It was like the por-
tal of fairyland, with its visions of
of beautiful women, its myriads of
gleaming 4fcht.s. its gorfeouu massing
of colors.- its wealth < f blossoms, its
pulsations of soft music and the heavy
odor of thousands of perfuThe
enormous floor space, 300 fc;t long anil
half as vrtdc, was so large that it was
divided into squares, each under a
corps of a«s:-stuiits to the ge :et.il floor
managers, Kdward McCauley and Kd-
win II. lit v.
The I'nrsidantial purt.v arrived at
the ball at a quarter bctore 10 o'clock,
but they 4ame in so quietl at the main
entrance of tho south side ~ f the buildj
ing that only those gatheretl about the
door were aware of their or ient e.
The President and his wife were es-
corted by (ieneral Nelson A. Miles and
(jcneral .1. M. Wilson « f the army.
After them came Vice l'resident Ho-
bart, with Mrs. Hobart. Mr. John
Addison Porter, the President's secre-
tary. the President's brother, Abncr
McKinley. ami several members of the
McKlrtley and Hobart families.
Mnjf MkKinlcy. mother of the Pres-
ident? was one of the most sought for
women of the hall, and in her stately
black satin gown, trimmed in ruv old
lace and a half length train, she looked
quite handsome enough to b« the
President ^ mother.
Mrs. McKinley's gown was of p'lle
gray b. ,ended satin, tinting fiom the
gray to blue. It h* lin •<! throughout
with bine sill; and the skirt is -t stately
train, with three pauels of embroidered
brocade. The wa'it has a llt ff\ fieliu

wore a brilliant sunburst in her hair.
The party were ushere i up to the
main staircase to the front, wlnae a
suite of rooms were rev rved for them.
.After a few inomeiits, in which Mrs.
McKinley's wraps were remowd. the
part y moved into that room, ordinarily

were presented to her. the President
standing at her right. Oeneral \Nils. u

Jeffeuso.n City, Mo., Mureh The
House committee on appropriationt
has ugreed to report a bill to give the
state university $#0,000 for mainten*
ance and 5510.000 for repairs for tho
next two years. The university asked
for 840,000 for a building for the de-
partment of medicine, but the com-
mittee could not find the money needed
and refused to gruut it.
The sum allowed is quite different
from the 8'joo.ooo proposed by the en-
dowment bill which was recently
killed. If the legislature grants only
the sum recommended, the university
will be cramped for funds during the
next two years.

•Ikfperson City, Mo., March 0.—Tho
house p i.s .ed. almost unanimously, the
Pipm* bill, which authorizes judges of
criminal courts, and police courts in
cities to appoint probationary officers,
whose duty it shall l>c to investigate
offenders who are known to be ha-
bitual criminals and report recom-
mendations as to the best methods of
dealing with *bem. It gives the courts
power to parole offenders and permit
them to go on their good behavior.
One of the duties of the probationary
officer is to help the prisoner released
from jails and penitentiary to get
employment and to look after their
welfare.

NG day in the (Hit
of 1885, Bays a San-
ta Paula corre-
spondent of the Ban
Francisco Chron-
icle, John Maxon of
the Ojal valley, in
Ventura county,
llscovereil a bear
prowling around
his pig corral. The
tact of the bear's
prcsence~w o"uo: surprising, aa It was
no uncommon thing to see boars any
day in that part oi the country ten
years ago, so that would have been
cause for more comment if a person
did not see a bear wljtle Journeying
to or from the nearest town than il
would have been to meet one every
mile or so. Maxon was therefore not
surprised when he saw that morning
the particular bear but he was eur-
prlsod at the animal's unusual site. Mr.
Maxon was G8 years old at that time
and had been a bear hunter more titan
fifty years. He had killed bears by the
score and of all sizes and Bhades.
While panthers still existed in Ven-
tura county he was a famous slayer of
those fierce beasts of prey. He la cred-
ited with having killed the last panther
ever seen in the country, although
there is one at present lurking in the
woods near the oil wells at Santa Pau-
la. But among all the great wild den-
izens of the forest that John Maxon
had laid low with hia rifle this bear
that cast a longing eye on the inmates
of the ptgsty that autumn morning had
no equal for size or formidable appear-
ance. The old backwoodsman went
back in the house and got his rifle and
quickly lodged two bullets in the bear,
which sent the animal howling and
bleeding into the woods. The sur-
vival of the bepr after receiving two
bullets in his body was the greatest
surprise that Maxon ever had in his
whole career In the woods. He sum-
moned ills son and tho two followed
the bear. But it entered a Jungle,
from which the hunters could not dis-
lodge it, and they gave up the chase,
the old man believing that the bear
would die from his wounds. As the
big animal was not seen again Maxon's
opinion that the two bullets he had
lodged In the bear had done for him
was generally accepted as correct.
Time passed and the big bear ceased
to be a subject for discussion in the
OJai valley. A year agu Uncle John
Maxon, as he was known all over Ven-
tura counly, died. A few weeka ago
Jack Maxon, the old hunter's eldest
son, while on his way to Santa Paula,
liw a bear cross the road iu front of
blm, not fur from his house, and ltn
great size at once recalled the big beat'
of 1883. Jick believed It was the bear
that his father bad shot ten years be-
fore. It was bigger, he declared, than
the one Sam Kawllns killed out in
the Santa Barbara mountalus in Octo-
ber, 1892, and that was the largest ever
bagged in the county, being seven feet
long and welghbig 500 pounds. That
bear was stuffed and presented to the
state university museum, where It is
now. A hunting party was organized
and long and persistent efforts «ert>
made to capture the monster, but he
kept In retirement ami his retreat could
not be found. Ou a morning after a re-
cent shower one of .luck Maxon's neigh-
bors saw a track In the mud, the slzu
«f which left no doubt that It had been
made by the fugltlie Maxon hear.
The footprints measured seven inoh««
across the "hull" of the track. In a
Short lime there were many hunters on
the track, but the rhiiae lasted for
days and It was only a few days ago
i that It ended. The bear was surround-
ed In a swamp by nine lusty hunters
and the dogs were seiil In to run hint
