"SENIORITY" WALTON.
Be Wanted to Talk to the Convention
About Immigration but Is Disappointed.
"I am going to talk to this convention
whether they want to hear tne or not."
That was what a middle-aged man on
the steps of Hamilton hall said last night
just before the convention adjourned.
"I tried to get to the chairman," he
said, "and he wouldn't see me. Then I
went to Morrill and he gave me a note
for him which told him I must be heard.
I am Morrill's lieutenant now and they
will hear me tonight. Do you want to
know who I am? Well, I am Seniority
and I am here in the interest of the rail
road men. I am a conductor on the
Kock Island at Caldwell and my name is
J. E. Walton. What I want is no more
foreign immigration. We have J, Mi. )
idle men now but more than 1,000,000
came over last year. This is my motto,"
and he handed the reporter a card on
which was printed:
'To the Ladies: Geniality and smiles
win the world, but we must have enough
money to buy the necessaries of life.
Seniority."
The man of geniality was disappointed
for the convention didn't wait to hear
him. lie had another card which he
was distributing. It read:
'Restriction of Immigration! United
States senators, elected by the people
instead of the legislatures! Seniority."

Proposed Passenger and Freight
Barges on the Kaw,
To Run Between Lawrence and
Kansas City.
OTHER STATE NEWS.
Ellis Coxeyites at Leavenworth
Can't Get Counsel.
Lawrence, June 8. A number of gen
tlemen in Kansas City have organized a
company for the purpose of building
boats to run on the Missouri and Kaw
rivers near that city and will, as soon as
tne boats are completed, establish a reg
ular line from Atchison to the city on
the Missouri and from Lawrence to the
city on the Kaw river. The boats are to
be used for the purpose of carrying
freight and passengers to and from the
places where they touch. The especial
use for which they are now being built
is the carrying of the light vegetables to
market from the various points along the
Kaw river.
One of the boats has already been com
pleted. It is sixty-five feet long and nine
feet wide, and is capable of carrying an
enormous load of freight. It ia the pur
pose of the company to also construct
barges on which the heavier crops can
be loaded and brought to the local mar
ket. The company will arrange to load
the vessels at points up the river aud
then steam down and reach the market
early in the morning.
They claim they will be able to get the
product to the market easier, cheaper
and in better condition than can, possi
bly be done when it is transported in
wagons or in cars. Landing place s will
be arranged at every three mile station
on tne river, aud the company expects to
soon build up a flourishing trade.
The first trip will be made as soon as
the machinery is tested and the boat
licensed to do business. The boat cost
about $3,000.
The company is composed of such
men as Major J. Fuller, Mr. N. Schee,
Mr. W. S. Johns and others who have in
terests in the Kaw Valley.
HAU O ATTORNEYS.
Keitber Joe Waters Nor Charle Blood
Smith Would Defend tne Wealars.
Leavenworth, June 8. In the United
States circuit court yesterday afternoon
the jury in the case of Robert LL Ciough
ley against the Missouri, Kansas Ss Tex
as railway company rendered a verdict
giving the plaintiff $3,700 for personal
injuries. The sum sued for was $10,000.
The case of John Ralston, Ed Hart and
Frank E. Woods, the Coxeyites captured
at Ellis, Kan., and who were to have
been tried for contempt, went over for
the time being. When the case was
called it appeared that the wealers had
no attorneys. 7
"Have you an attorney?" asked Judge
Thomas.
"We understood there were three law
yers in the city to defend us," answered
Capt Ralston, "but I don't see either of
them here. I guess we don't need a lawyer.-
We are willing to go on the witness
stand and state our side."
"You need an attorney," said the judge,
"I might make a mistake and you not
know it."
Judge Thomas then asked Charles
Blood Smith of Topeka to represent the
"wealers." Mr. Smith declined, stating
that he was interested in the other side.
Col. Joe Waters of Topeka was present
in the court room, and some one sug
gested that he take the cases. "Yes,"
put in District Attorney Ferry, "Colonel
Waters is the general attorney for all the
commonwealers in this part of the
country."
But Mr. Waters declined to help the
Coxeyites out.

SALT HAS LOSI ITS SAVOR.
The Rise In tbe Arkansas River Oimag
ine Hutchin-ion Properly.
Hutchinson, June 8. The New York
salt plant, owned by the Kansas Salt
company, is entirely surrounded by the
Arkansas river, which is out of its banks,
and several hundred barrels of salt stored
therein are ruined.
The foundation of both the New York
and Riverside plants are in danger of
giving away and wrecking the buildings.
Grave fears are still entertained for the
safety of the new wagon bridge up the
river, for should the reported additional
rise in the river come, the bridge will
surely be swept away. Should the wagon
bridge eo, the two railroad bridges be
low, and the iron bridge near Riverside
park would undoubtedly have to suc
cumb to the great pressure.
Helen Ooald at l.aeoworth.
Leavenworth, June 8. Miss Helen
Gould, the richest young "woman in the

Gould, have been here looking at the city

WHY SO KIKD?
A Warm Feelina; Between tbe Adminis
tration and the Pullman Company.
Mr. W. F. Rightmire says from what he
knows - about affairs of state, the pre
sent executive council must be owned, by
the Pullman palace car company.
In speaking of the Pullman Company's
relation to the administration today, Mr.
Rightmire said:
"In 1893, in February, I called the at
tention of, the governor and attorney
general, personally to this matter at dif
ferent times and informed them that the
Pullman company was taking advantage
of the state of affairs in the circuit court,
and compromising the claims of the
counties in which its -taxes were large
amounts, and escaping the legal penal
ties for non-payment, and asked that such
action be taken as would save to the
counties the penalties and the full
amounts of the taxes, and was promised
by both that action would be taken at
once.
"Two months afterwards on inquiring
of Clerk Sharitt I learned that nothing
had been done, and I at once went to the
capitol to see the governor and attorney
general, to learn why nothing had be en
done, and I was plainly told that it was
none of my business; that they were
running tne state, and would run it in f
their own way. I returned to my office
with a determination to watch for the
results, and what were they? First A
reduction of the assessment of Pullman
cars $500 per car in the assessment of
1893 by the board of railway assessors;
second a free Pullman train to take
state officers and their invited guests to
to Chicago and return for Kansas week
at the World's fair, and nothing done yet
in the matter in court.
"On the calling' of the docket of the
United States circuit court for the pres
ent June term at Leavenworth, while
John T. Little, attorney general of Kan
sas, was present to protect the interests
of his private clients, in the case of the
Black Bob Indian lands, he sat in the
court room and looked wise, when case
No. 6118 of the Pullman palace car com
pany vs. Allen countv et al, was called;
in the words of the prophet Isaiah, 'As a
sheep before her shearer is dumb, so he
opened not his mouth," and the case was
continued to the November term of the
court and probably by that time, the
Pullman company will have its delin
quent taxes all settled in the different
counties, by its pretended generosity of
paying the same before the injunction
cases are decided, if the counties will
throw off the penalties and interest.
"Great is reform as practised by the in
cumbents of the state offices, but it is not
the reform that accords with the reform
principles of the Greenback, Union-Labor
and People's part-, that for so many
years have received my support, and be
cause I do not bow the knee and crj,
'Great is Diana of the Populist party,
the sweet emelling bouquets that are to
be found in the state house,' I and all
others who preserve their independence,
and will not bend the knee to incompe
tence or the corrupt blindness that looks
complacently upon the joint ridden me
tropolitan c.ties, like Topeka, with her
sixteen incorporated club rooms, are
branded as kickers."

by the report gaining currency that Mrs.

but whatever it was it didn't hurt her
and she was still ahve this morning and

the ear of the Journal reporter that she
didn't take anything, but was only trj--ing
to frighten John, who is said to have
been on a spree for some days past.
