Toi'Kba, January 16. Tho bill introduced

A Ml rest far* Tlo Up.
All the street cars in Brooklyn, N. Y., are
tiod up, the employes refusing to tnko out
tite cars. Over 6,600 men quit work. This
includes motor men, conductors, electri-
cians, switchmen arid others employed at
the various power houses.
All but ono of the surface roads, and that
e comparatively minor concern, are affected.
It is claimed that the rtrike will extend to
the linos of the Brooklyn Elevated Hallway
company.
The government at Washington lias re-
ceived no request for troops ou account of
interference with the mails by the Brooklyn
strike, and it is said at the war department
that it is not exacted that any such call will
he made. It is not believed that any neces-
sity for troops will nrise.
While interference with tho mails is con-
trary to federal law. it is also n violation of
state 'nw nnd no reason is seen why tho au-
thorities of New York state nro not entirely
competent to deal with tho trouble without
calling on the ni.tumal government.

Washington, D. C„ January 16.—The
legislative feature incorporated in the In-
dian appropriation hill is a plan hy which
it is proposed to solve the vexed problem of
governmental relations with contract
schools, so-called, most of which ore under
church control, and which have been tho
cause of sectarian contentions. The secre-
tary of tho interior i* authorized to make
contracts f<>r the education of Indian pupils
in theso t-chools for the next tiscul year to
nn extent not exceeding HO per cent of the
amount *o used Inst year and each succeeding
year the amount is to be reduced ‘20 per
cent, so that nt the end of live \vars all such
contracts ‘ball cease. This plan does not
include public schools with which the bureau
ha* arrangements for the education of its
Indian wards. The plan, Bays the report, is
understood to have tho npprovul of the pec*
retnry of tho interior and tho commissioner
of Iudiuu affairs.
Attempt to Appoint I.andi*.
The last executive session of tho Kansas
senate before the change of administration,
voted to reconsider the vote confirming the
appointment of Htnshaw as member of the
state board of charities; the previous vote
confirming him not having been messaged
to the governor.
It is stated that Hinshnw had bargained for
his confirmation by agreeing to immediutoly
resign, which ho immediately refused to do.
As soon as Hinshaw was rejected a message
from tho governor made its appearance in
tho executive session, which covered the
nomination of Senator Landis to succeed
Hinshaw; but it appearing lo the satisfac-
tion of enough of the senators that this mes-
sage had got in surreptitiously, and not in
regulation routine, the senate adjourned
without action ; thus leaving tho place ou
tho chartitics board vacant.
Three Crowd Center* Not Knough.
There were three centers of attraction in
Topeka on inauguration night.
In tho senate chamber which was ar-
rang* i for the purpose, a reception occurred,
where multitudes filed before the new state
officers, as many as practicable grumping a
hand of each. It was a scene to be remem-
bered.
In Representative hall tho inaugural ball
was proceeding: a crush and a jam.
At Metropolitan hall the veterans hold a
campfire and listened to speeches and storiei
until a late hour.
The weather of the day, after midday, was
well suited to the comfort of a crowded con-
dition of tho streets. The sleet of the mo.n
ing, which was slop at noon, was all gone
by 2 o clock, when tho pavements were dry
and the air like a spring day.

K. R. AsseHsinent Investigation.
Topf.ka, January 16.—The railroad assess-
ment of 1894, by which the state board of
assessors gave to the Santa Fe railroad a
reduction of $1,790,000 in its assessment, will
be investigated by a senatorial investigating
committee.
The committee is composed of three pop-
ulists and two republicans, which was an-
nounced by Lieutenant Governor Percy
Daniels, as follows:
Senator A. W. Dennison of Butler county,
chairman; Senator Edwin Taylor of Wyan-
dotte county, Senator H. F. Landis of Bar-
ber county, Senator K. E. VVilcoxson of
Logan county, and Senator Charles F. Scott
of Allen county.
This committee was appointed in compli-
ance with a resolution of Senator Taylor of
Wyandotte.
Leavenworlb Police Hoard.
A dispatch from Leavenworth relates that
Mrs. Blackman and her associated mem.
bora of the metropolitan police board refuse
to give up control of the police board, not-
withstanding they have been removed by
the governor. On last Tuesday they were
requested to resign. Un refusal to comply
they were notified of their removal. They
kept the fact of their removal quiet and con-
tinued to act as commissioners until Sunday
night, when Mayor Dodaworth was notified
by Governor Lewelling to take charge. The
commissioners refused to turn the books
oxrer to the mayor and claim that they have
not been legally removed. They also issued
an order for collecting fines, which they
wanted paid over to the matron of the city
jail. Mayor Dodsworth promptly rescinded
thia order and Chief Cranston notified him
that they would obey hie orders and refuse
any longer to recognize Mrs. Blackman's
board.
of the society wns his theme and his eulogy
of the faithful, earnest work of those in
charge wns indoed a flattering testimonial,
A. R. Greene, of Lecompton, related the
slory of the battle of Wilson creek, and
graphically described tho noble stnnd taken
by the little band of 1,700 umou soldiers.
Professor O. E. Olin, of the state agri
cultural college, spoke of "The Romance of
Kansas History."
Hon. J*»hn Speer then entertained the au-
dience for an hour with "Incidents of the
Pioneer Conflict.” He began his remarks
with nn interesting sketch of the men who
framed the Leavenworth constitution. From
this topic he drifted easily along the tide
of early Kan“a* history. Many incidents
were related of the "trials and experiences"
of P. B. Plumb, \V, A. Phillips, Lane nnd
Thncher—the men whom President Buch-
unnn had declared outlaws.
The president appointed Hon. F. P. Ba-
ker. Colonel D. R. Anthony and Fred Well-
h* u*o committee on nominations.
The following officer* of the society were
elect'd: President, Solon 0. Thncher;
vice presidents, James B. Abbott nnd Harri-
son Kelly; secretary. F. G. Adams; treas-
urer John Guthrie.

reached large storehouses of mining aud
hardware companiei; three of these were
destroyed : The Butte Hardware company,
The Royal Milling company and the Ken-
yon-Cornell warehouse*. In ail there was

these departments are among those killed
and injured in the subsequent explosions.
First accounts give no names but the esti-
mate first given is that at lea-t 75 people were
killed outright and more than 100 other*
hurt, many of whom cannot recover. Debris
wa* thrown high in the air, coming down
half a mile away. Many people on the
streets in the center of the city were thus In-
jured.
Several bodies were hurled a long dis-

masses of flesh.
The damage to property will reach $1,-
000,000.

was given a decided surprise by the com-
mittee on judiciary, which decided, by
vote of 7 to 6, to report a resolution for the
impeach inent of Judge August J. Ricks, of
Cleveland, for malfeaiance in office.
This ia the first case of the kind in many
years.
The friends of Judge Ricke declare that

ment may not be undertaken. They de-
pend on members who were absent from the
atormy committee meeting to unite in mak-
ing a minority report.

the announcement, which was flr*t conveyed
to them through the Associated Frees, that

ing $141,000,000, with two important amend-
ments, one making $5 tho lowest rate for
pension disability and another repealing the
prorent law cutting off tho pensions of non*''

Income Tax Regulation* Changed.
Washington. D. C., January 18.—After
n debate covering a week, the senate voted
down Senator Hill's proposition to refer tho
legality of the income tax to tho courts,
only five senators joining with Senator Hill
in supporting tho proposition.
Senator Vest wus tho principal speaker
of the day and in the course of hi* speech
Sen tor Vest called attention to tho gravity
of the tariff war which forego countries
had begun agaiust the United States as the
result of tho one-tenth sugar differential.
Although Senator Hill failed in referring
the income tax to the courts, he secured tho
adoption of an important amendment limit-
ing the interrogatories of the officers to col-
lect the tax. The amendment will have tht
effect of compelling the treasury department
to chango tho regulations ns to collecting
the tax**s.
The income tax appropriation was then
agreed to and the deficiency bill passed.
Abandoning the Protectorate.
Washington, D. C., January 18.—In the
sundry civil appropriation bill there is uo
appropriation to maintain the part of tho
United States in the tri-partite protectorate
over Samoa.
Secretary Gresham has several times sug.
gesled ihat the United States recede from
any part in the government of Samoa, and
his views were made the subject of a strong
taragraph in tho president’s last message,
n accordance with these view* the adminis-
tration has for some time neglected to sta-
tion a warship at* the islands, although it
was a feature of the agreement that ship*
should be kept at Apia.
An Appointee of Lewelling.
Winfield, Kan,, January 18.—Charles
Johnson, the appointee of Governor Lewel-
ling to the office of probate judge, vice I).
D. Parry, deceased, made formal demand
for the office and wns refused. He has com-
menced proceedings to get possession of
the office.
The Duke of Orleans.
London, January 18.—The Duke of Or-
leans, pretender to th^throne of France, has
left Stowehause for Dover. It is presumed*
that he is going to Belgium or that lie will
meethissupportersat Dover. Consequently
it is believed that the royalists of France
are preparing to tukesome action in view of
the crisis in France.
Wolrott Ke-El cted.
Edward O. Wolcott received the full re-
publican vote at tho joint session of the Col-
orado legislature and was re-elected United
States senator. The vote was: Wolcott, 57;
Lafe Pence, 38; C. S. Thomas, 3.
I sion expenditures not exceeding $1,000,000.
The bill served as a text for severe criticism
against the udmiuistration of tho pension
office.
It was Senator Hawley who offered an
amendment making $6 tho lowest rata for
disabilities instead of tha present ratings of
$2 and $4.
Senator Lodge severely arraigned the pen-
sion office for delays.
Senator Peffer offered an amendment fix-
ing $8 a* tho minimum pension rate, but it
was ruled out of order.
One Appellate Court Wanted.
Topeka, January 19.—The state bar as-
sociation discussed means of relief for the
supreme court and it was decided aftera spir-
ited argument os to whether there should be
one, two or three of the appellate court* rec-
ommended, that one would be enough and
a recommendation to that effect will be
made to the legislature at an early date.
The question of location whb discussed to
some extent and tho association seemed to
be in favor of Topeka a* the best point for
the establishment of an appellate court,
portly because the only perfoct law library
in the state is at the state house.
At this session th? different sections for
the stato were all represented; about 125
lawyers were present.
A City in Mourning.
Butte, Mont., January 18.—It is now es-
timated that the number of persons killed
the explosion of giant powder is sixty.
Nearly fifty are already known to have been
killed.
The city i* in mourning and all flags are at
half-mast. The relief meeting called by the
mayor was largely attendee, and commit-
tee* appointed for the collection of money
for th# relief of the afflicted families.
The people are responding liberally and a
sufficient amount to relieve distrosis al-
ready guaranteed. A number of liodies are
mangled beyond all recognition and never
will tie identified.
Inquiries are coming from all parts of
the Lnited States inquiring about relatives
and friends who reride in the city and who
are supposed to have been here at the time
of the explosion.
Contingent Funds Balances.
Topeka, January 19.—An examination of
the several funds in the state treasury shows
that there is ju*t $63 in the executive council
contingent fund and but $21 in the fund for
furniture nnd repair*, while the state print-
!-g fund is entirely exhausted.
The governor's contingent fund is in the
best condition, there being$0,900 in it. The
attorney general left $100 in his, the secre-
tary of state $524 and the auditor $.95,

Th-* Brooklyn Trolley Strike.
Still the great Brooklyn, N. Y., trolley
•trike remains the same and unsettled, and
both officers of the companies and tha strik-
ers claim to be sure of victory.
Aside from the ending of the strike on the
DcKalb and Franklin avenue lines and the
running of a few cars on the Putnam avenue
linos the situation is practically unchanged.
Presidents Lewis and Norton, of the
Brooklyn Height* and Atlantic avenue roads,
respectively, stand firm. They declare they
have nothing to arbitrate, and that if the
men wish to return to work at tha old terms
they may do so. If this offer is not satisfac-
tory the officials further state their places
will be filled by the men who ire coming in
from outside citios. President Lewis had
laid the blame for the stoppage of traffic on
the city, declaring that had the companies
been afforded proper police protection the
cars on all lines would be running on sched-
ule time.

Dreaded Enemy of Guod Farming.
Topeka, Jnnunry 21.—Tho seunto commit-
tee on road* uud bridges, of which Senator
Smith i* chairman, is striving hard to form-
ulate fo recomni?ndatiou an effective bill to
prevent tho spread of th* Russian thistle nnd
secure its destruction. The secretary of tho
state board of agriculture has been in con-
sultation wuh the committee nnd is very
noxious that some scheme shall be devised
for prompt nnd effective wurfnre on this
dreaded enemy of good farming which is
is rapidly invading Kansas from both the
north and west. South Dakota has a very
good law on this pobject, which puts the
work of destroying the Russian and Canada
thistles and cocklebur growing on publia
highways and adjacent unoccupied lands
under supervision of the road overseers and
provides for u tax on such lands sufficient
to pay for the work. It is probable Kansas
will have a like law, based largely on tho
Dakota idea. South Dakota was tho origi-
nal staif.ng point of thi* Russian nuisance
in thu United States and knows its terror*
thoroughly.
Work on the Atchison Canal.
Atchison, Kan., January 21.—Tho work
of digging the canal through the island
above town, through which it is proposed to
turn the Missouri river, is now actively in
progress. The contractor is J. W. Wag-
geuer, of Atchison, who has^ub-let 2,000 feet
of the work to Patrick Moors, of Lincoln.
Neb., and 1,000 feet to George A. Fuller, of
Burlingame, Kan. Both contractors are
hero with largo forces. Contractor VVag-
gener has 103 teams ut work on the remain-
ing portion of the contract. The canal will
be over a mile in length, nnd of an average
width of seventy feet. A total of 167,000
yards of dirt will be removed. Thia is con-
sidered the only proper course to be pur-
aued for the protection of tho Atchison
bridge. The canal will follow the course of
the old riverbed which wus abandoned a
year ago. Dykes will be built to force the
river through the canal.

rency and never did." He feared auch an
experiment would not be a success and ad-
vised that this issue be not mixed up with
the Isgal tender currency question.
"We must make a little tariff reform go a
great ws>s,’’ Senator Hill closed. "There
should not be much reduction except where
it is likely to produce more revenue. Let
the tariff be retained on those articles which
come in competition with our own work-
men, if it is necessary to secure more rev.

of the Kansas penitentiary were greatly as-
tonished by the appearance of a well dressed
man In the warden’s office, who said: "I
have come to put on a striped suit" He
pulled e commitment sentencing him to the
penitentiary for two years out of hie pocket,
and it developed that without an official of

the firat prisoner ever to arrive at the peni-
tentiary without n guard, and the officials

Washington, D. C., January 22.— Senator
Lodge, republican, of Mnssuchu ett*. gavo
notice of nn intention to call up the resolu-
tion offered by Senator Aldrich, on thefflh
inri., aaying that such a course was made
uccoiisary by the objection which had been
mndo to the pre*ent ennrideration of other
r-solutions. The renolution im ft* follows:
Resolved, That the senate of the United
States, having in view public interests and
those of American citizens residing in tho
Hawaiian islands, i* of the opinion tnut our
government should be represented in Ha-
waiian wat.-rs by oue or more ships of its
navy.
Ho called attention to tho statements iu
tho dispntches concerning tho alleged readi-
ness of the British con••ul to rocognizo tho
rcv<dutionar> government in case of its
!>eing able to hold tho pnlaco for threo
hours. He did not mean to imply that the
British wore doing more than seeking by
tho aggressiveness which Great Bntinn
shows in all such matter* to extend the
commercial supremacy of that country in
Hawaii. Ho criticised tho administration
not only for the withdraw ^ of tho Ameri
can ships, but for its first effort to sustain
tho royalists.
Monopoly of Dam Building.
Washington, D. C„ January 22.—Sena-
tor Martin introduced an important bill
zoncerning the proposed dam across tho
Kansas river at Topeka. Tho provisions of
the bill giving additional rights to the com-
pany read as follow:
"That the absent of congress la hereby
given to tho Topeka Water and Electric
company, a corporation created nn# organ-
ized under the laws of Colorado, its suc-
cussor* aud assignees, to erect, construct
and maintain a dam or dams across the
Kansas river at any suitable place or places
west of tho ea*t bank of the mouth of Sol-
dier creek where the same empties into
tho Kansas river in Shawnee county, Kan."
The object of the amendment is to em-
power the company to construct more than
one dnm across the river at or near Ikipeka,
and it wa* suggested by partios furiftsbing
the capital that it would be a good plan to
have this provision made now, as it might
be more difficult to secure It later on. This
is supposed to cut out nny other company
from operating in that vicinity should it ap-
pear that the enterprise is a success.
State Association of Sheriff*.
The annual meeting of the Kansas State
Sheriffs’ association met in the circuit court
room, Topeka, last week.
Their first work was the election of these
officers:
T. L. Reid, of Woodson, was chosen presi-
dent: J. T. Deeds, Crawford, vice president;
L. Hothenbergor of Leavenworth, treas-
urer, and D. N. Burdge of Topeka, secre-
tary.
The association decided aftor much dis-
cussion to take steps toward forming a
detective agency to aid the sheriffs in their
work and become an auxiliary to tho pres-
ent association. A committee consisting of
Bennett of Neosho, Smith of Dickinsoa nnd
Naylor of Jackson was appointed to draft
a charter and work up the scheme.
A most vigorous protest wns expressed by
those present on the system of allowing
cases to be filed in the district court and u
poverty affidavit filed for co*ts rather than
bond. This often lost large fees for the
sheriffs and in many cases money was ex-
pended and never gotten back.
Car Shops at Kansas City, Kan.
Kansas City, Kan., January 22.—A local
paper says:
A gigautic corporation 13 being formed
for the purpose of manufacturing refrigera-
tor cars in Kansas City. The company will
have a capital of $3,500,000, and it is being
backed by the Adamses, of Boston, and
other prominent eastern capitalists.
The company will build an immense plant
at Armourdale. The plant will include a
big foundry for casting car wheels and all
other iron work necessary on the cars, big
planing mills and carpenter shops. It is es-
timated that the works wiii give employ-
ment to between 509 and 1,000 men.
Tlie Philadelphia's Crew.
San Francisco, Cal., January 22.—The
Philadelphia can steam to Honolulu in five
days, or even less if she is pronged. She car-
riea enough of a crew to put down the biggest
rebellion the Hawaiian midcontenU are
capable of (darting, and on her arrival at
the island* will immediately proceed to land
troop* for the protection of Americans and
property of Americans.
