Topeka, Kan., Jan. 19.--The IVipu-
lists in their caucus to-night will fix a
time for nominating a United States
senator. There will be lot votes in the
Populist caucus. The roster bears inr.
names, but oue of the number Mux-
well of Grant, who is ill and not in
the city—lias not been sworn in as a
member of the house, ami therefore
his vote will not count. It will take
fifty-three votes to nominate in the
caucus, and eighty-three to elect in
the Joint convention. The Republicans
have sixty-three members anil should
twenty-three members walk out of the
I'opu 1 iit euuons it would put the Re-
publicans in a position to go in with
the liolters and control the election of
senator.
bast week it was generally under-
stood that this meeting would be held
Friday night, hut us the end of the
canvass approaches the feeling among
the candidates and their adherents be-
comes more intense, and a fear is re-
vived that the caucus may go to pieces
without making a nomination.
While this fur ahead of the caucus
twenty-three members would scarcely
he expected to walk out and force the
election to the floor of the joint con-
vention, old politicians have known
such tilings to happen in Kansas legis-
latures. and should the relations
among the cundidatcs for the senator-
ship become very much more strained
than at present a break-up of the cau-
cus would not he improbable.
Eli Williams of McPherson county
continues to be an enigma to his Re-
publican friends, lie still sits among
the Populists, but he gives as little
satisfaction as to his political attitude
to them as to the Republicans, lie
said this morning tiiat lte had not yet
decided which caucus he would go
into, if either, lie was elected ns a
Republican, but says he is a silver Re-
publican, and he certainly would not
vote for a gold standard man for sen-
ator.
The prospect of a long drawn out
tight in tin- caucus has caused no little
speculation as to “dark horse" candi-
dates. Probably the most talked of
man in this class is Speaker Street,
and his boom has been sprung in the
northwest, where he is best known.
State Senator K. T. Shaffer of Itour-
Ihui county is another patriot who lias
the "bee in his bonnet.” Some of
Shaffer's friends are so enthusiastic
that they have written to Mr. Try, the
Republican Representative from ''our-
bon county, to vote for him should the
tight lie transferred to the floor of the
joint convention.
Another state Senator talked of is
Mr. Campbell of Lalx-tte, and still an-
ither is Mr. Ryan of Crawford.
RYAN’S RAILROAD BILL.
A Swreping Measure Introduced In the
Kansas legislature.
Topeka. Kan., .Ian. 19.—Senator
Ryan of Crawford county introduced
iu the Senate a hill to regu ate rail-
road corporations. The hill includes
forty-two sections and combines the
features of both the Iowa and the
Minnesota railroad laws. It is sweep-
ing in its provisions.
Some of the provisions are us fol-
lows: One ear load of any class shall
he transported at as low a rate per ton
and per mile as a greater number of
ear loads of the same class, and no
preferences shall b given. No r -hates
of any kind or character shall be per-
missible, and if one person he charged
11 less sum for a conterapora’-e.uis ser-
vice than another service tl - state
hoard of railroad commission!* s shall
reduce the schedule rate to the smaller
rate charged. The track of every rail-
road in the state is declured a public
highway, over which all persons shall
have equal rights of transportation,
and no person shall be given any pref-
erence or advantage over another.
Other provisions give the railroad
commissioners full supervision of the
common carriers; require the com-
panies to re|Kirt their yearly business
in detail; fix heavy fines for violations
of the act; state what evidence shall
he necessary, etc., etc.
Ivory's Trial Begun.
London, Jun. 19.—The trial of Ed-
ward .1. Ivory, alias Hell of New York,
charged witli car s "g a dynamite ex-
plosion, opened at the Old Bailey this
morning before J . tlce Hawkins. The
solicitor general. I'- R. Finley. Q. C.,
M. I’., prosecuted in behalf of the
treasury, John F. McIntyre of New
York, watched the case in behalf of
the prisouer. McIntyre at lunch time
said; "I am much struck with the dif-
ference in conducting such a trial here
and in America. Thev nre so slow
here. I have talked witli Mr. llell and
he is convinced the government is 'fil-
ing to do for him. He in no way ad-
mits his guilt, hut is satisfied that the
Verdict will tie against him."

tlugee .nil Warner.
Sr Louis, Mo . Jun. p.i.—Chauneey
I. F-lley said this afternoon, iu a
signed article: It would he no
satisfaction or honor to me or
ray friends to buy a nomination
and indorsement through patronage
or cash. My friends did not open
headquarters at Jefferson City a week
in advance and maintain a buffet or
spend i dollar or offer a single office.
Mr. Mi kinley said to Hrowucll two
weeks ago to-day, at Cleveland, tliut
Mr. Kerens nor no one else in Missouri
had any authority to dispose of pat-
ronage in the state. lie said this
same tiling to me the last time
that I saw him, when the as-
sertion was made that Kerens wus
offering the earth in Missouri. Me
used this same sort of tacties to secure
Jim llavis and Joe I’urks and other
delegates to the national convention,
by which, und not tiie voice of the
party, his membership of the national
committee was so dishonorably ob-
tained, und uotahlv by disobedience of
Instructions of the state convention by
Major Warner.
"The ex-convict, lilt linger, who is in
tile lead of tiie Kerens clique of Jeffer-
son City, openly in caucus suggested
and approved of the disregard of in-
structions, and said that each man's
vote was liis own and tie could vote it
secretly against his Instructions
if he chose. This may lie peni-
tentiary education, polities and
morals, hut the constituency of
members have a right to know
how they vote and if they obey in-
struction*. ami iU, per cent of the 304.-
IH)0 Republican voters of the state will
advise in the coming two years that he
is wrong and that the constituencies
have and will have something to say
about that dishonorable und disorgan-
izing sort of politics which has put
the party back in the state teu years,
if common talk is correct.

BOMBAY’S BAD CONDITION.
Tli.‘ t’li.uui' Chargod to Sanitary Ilrterl-
nnitli*n The Kecortled llrat In*.
p ;"i.»v, Jan. 19.—The exodus from
the city on account of the plague con-
tinues. The official returns issued
to-day show that there have been 3,833
recorded cases and 2, '>9" deaths from
the pestilence.
The Times of India complains tliut
the sanitary conditions of Bombay
have been allowed to deteriorate for
ten years. It adds that the whole fu-
ture trade of tiie city is involved und
that no expense should be spared by
tiie government to stamp out the epi-
demic.
The disease crept into India from
Hong Kong, where it had raged for
weeks. Owing to the insularity of the
place it could not be stamped out. It
first appeared iu Calcutta. Then a
few days later a suspicious ease was
reported from Bombay. The people
ut once said it was the plague, but the
authorities denied it. Then came
another ease, then several; then scores;
then hundreds. Now Bombay is a
veritable city of the dead and dy-
ing. Never from the start have
Hie authorities lieen capable of coping
witli the spread of the epidemic.
The officials of the municipalities were
more or less incompetent. Tiie Euro-
peans labored nobly, but were over-
worked. The natives refused to per-
mit the isolation of invalids. They
inaugurated riots in the streets and
stormed the hospitals and were fired
on by tiie police. Every new health
ordinance -.-'ashed with some religious
custom or outraged some cherished
native observance.
LoriHVil.i.ic. Ky„ Jan. 19.—National

eli»sed tiie doors of tiie German Na-
tional hank. J. M. Knight president.
The capital stock was Mill,•’>00. with u
surplus of *31,000. The bunk U an old
one. hut for some time pust lias been
regarded as unsafe. In a signed state-
ment President MeKuight says tliut
depositors will lie paid iti full, and that
it is probable the stockholders will re-
organize the Institution.
Newport, Ky., Jun. 18. The First
National Bunk of Kentucky failed to
open its doors this morning, to the
great surprise of tiie business men of
the city. While the statement was
given out by tiie officers that no one
would lose anything, all sorts of rum-
ors were Hying uliou* Fortunately,
the integrity of the officers is such
that no suggestion of wrong doing lias
found credence.
The bank had a capital of 8100,000,
and December 17, the date of its lust
report, it had a su-pius und undivided
profits amounting to *79.453. owed de-
positors *419,805 and owed other banks
about 816,000.
Nr. Pai l, Minn., Jan. 18. The Min-
nesota State Savings hunk closed it*
doors this morning and filed a deed of
assignment witli an affidavit staling
that the assets would amount to about
$500,000. while the liabilities are in the
neiglilwirhood of *330,000. The officers
of tile Dank deemed this stop the lx-st
under the circumstances to protect the
depositors. The recent flurry in bank-
ing affairs caused tiie withdrawal of
deposits to such un extent that, al-
though tiie hank required the sixty
days’ notice, it was unable to rnise
enough ready money to meet demands.

Gutiirie, Okla., Jan. 19.—Missouri
emigrants traveling southward in
wagons were robbed of al>out $1,000 by-
half a aozen desperadoes on the west
line of the Creek nation after the ex-
change of a number of shots to no ef-
fect. Several of the emigrants had
known George Taylor, the escaped
Meeks murderer, well in Missouri
and they asserted that tiie leader of
tiie bandits was Taylor. A nuinlx-r of
other persons have claimed to have
recognized Taylor as one of the out-
laws in that section, and the convic-
tiou is gaining ground that tiie person
in question is really the notorious
murderer. Officers are working hard
to run down the band.

As passed by the Senate, the bill
gives title to over 12,000,000 ueres of

nearly 9,'JOO settlers, who were unable
to prove up their titles.
It is a measure of far-reaching im-

that a plank concerning it was u fea-

The effect of the bill is to .q«-n to set-

office fees, and to release from pnv-
