ALL BOTCHED UP.
Congressman Patterson Says
Tariff Bill is Bundled,
But it is Pretty Strong After
All.
ONE THING SUITS HIM.
We Will Have Money to Throw
at the Birds.
I 'WASr(05,, June 20. Special.
Tn Bpito of losses and crosses, laps and
slams, investigations of sugar bribery and
investigations of the causes of depression
in business and labor, the senate does make
progTPS.-i with, the tariff bill, and of late
tolerably rapid progress. The pressure
from outside has become almost too strong
to be resisted except by a few senators who
are now the minority of tho minority, but
they hold out tenaciously, and strange
threats are heard. The ordinary strain
of niizht fiession would be nothing new,
but Messrs. Jones, Vest and Harris give
hints of more stringent measures. Anx
ious members of the house say that the
courtesy of the senate can only continue
60 Ions? as it is not flagrantly abused, and
to the siigsrest iou that tho bill might even
yet be talked to death in tho senate a
house leader responded: "They will not
dare so dangerous a proceeding. Let the
elections ko as they may, 34 of the present
Democratic senators will bo in the senate
till late in tho next presidential term, and
some more an: sure to have Democratic
successors. So if the rule is established
that the minority can prevent legislation
they will work that rule in the next con
gress and tho next and soon. Itwon'tdo."
A Hopeful View.
Colonel Josiah Patterson, who was for
awhile among the most anxious in the
house, says he has got over it and is will
ing to wait till tho Republican senators
get ready to quit of their accord. Ho adds:
'The Democrats are standing up there to
let the liepublican -break bark over their
heads, and the bill is all botched and
splotched up anyhow, but after pll it is a
pretty strong bill. If you will take the
schedules through, you will fmd that, even
if the other fellows get all tho concessions
they claim fron this on, there will be a
reduction of more than 15 .er cent from
the icKinlcy bill, and that's a big gain,
considering the troubles we have had. An
other thing suits me ahout the way thing3
are going the bill will get into operation
Just in time to catch the revival of busi
ness, all the coal miners will be ;vs work
about the time our friends out in the min
ing regions begin their campaign, and the
old women who sell butter and egsjs, chick
en sand tholike will have money to throw at
the birds by the time election day comes. "
Uleolin(r at Every l'ore.
This is a common method of consolation
among the Democrats, and occasionally one
finds a .Republican who concedes the truth
of it. ilijor Ben Butterworth, who has
been here a great deal of late, talks with,
great freedom on thZa phase of it, but stal
wart Republicans consider him more than
half a free trader anyhow. In the course
of a rambling chat on politics and busi
ness he pa!;!: ''When the McKlnley bill
was propos d, I told my Republican col
leagues that wo were virtually pledged to
revise the tariff downward and that if we
raised the rates we should be badly beaten,
for tho time for that sort of thing had
passed. I now predict, as I have often
predicted before, that there will never
again be a high tariff man elected president
of these United States. It is strange that
our McKinleymen in Ohio cannot see that
so far tho naruo of AIcKinley is associated
in the minds of the people outside of Ohio
with nothing but the most disastrous de
feat and failure. If our friends in the
other end of this capitol were wise, they
would have that bill voted on as soon as
possible. They would urgo the Democrats
to go faster, for tho country is bleeding at
every pore, and everybody thinks delay in
settling the tariff question is the main
cause of it, and a -majority think the Re
publicans responsible for the delay.
"One thing, however, must be said
the Democrats throughout tho country are
a good deal more angry at their senators
than any Republican is at ours. That
election in Illinois shows that neither par
ty went to the polls very much. By the
way, you will- notice that for three years
or so the vote h;is been falling off. The
reason, I think, is sheer disgust on the
part of the people of both parties. In 1892
more Republicans staid at home than
Democrats, and now more Democrats are
staying at homo than Republicans, but
both sides are wearied and disgusted by
this nonsensical delay. "
' KrinDlst of the End.
Messr3. Jones, Vest and Harris still ln
lst that the end is- rear, but with the
shortest supposable tii k.'. for it to remain
In conference the tariff bill cannot become
a law by the 30th end of the fiscal year
and the time set for it to go into opera
tion. It is also almost certain that most
of the appropriation bills will be delayed
till after tho 30th, and so a joint resolu
tion will have to be passed extending the
terms of the current appropriations. Tho
Indian bill dragged along much later than
even the most pessimistic had expected,
and the house worked up considerable ill
humor over it. Meanwhile the advocates
of free coinage of silver are mustering
their forces, determined to have ono more
fight before tho session ends.
; Senator tioiuire's bill is favored, of
course, but only as a beginning, a sort of
unstable compromise until something bet
ter can bo had. It provides that any
owner of silvor bullion may deposit it at
the mints and receive payment therefor in
standard silver dollars at the price of sil
ver bullion on that day. Of the silver
thus purchased the secretary is to have
coined f 4,000, 000 per month until the ag
gregate of money of oil kinds in tho coun
try reaches $40 per capita, and thereafter
the coinage shall only be sufficient to
maintain that ratio. Still another scheme
in process of incubation is that the price
of silver shall lie fixed arbitrarily at $1
per ounce aud that all silver, American
or foreign, may be deposited and the
holder shall receive therefor lver cer
tificates at that rate. The prophecy made
a few years ago by Sherman and other
"goldbugs" that; any concession to the
silver men would only make them de
mand more has been amply fulfilled. The
half conversion of Senator Lodge and the
alleged half conversion of Tom Reed and
others to bimetallism have removed the
last lingering doubt the silver men had
that their early triumph ia certain if they
persevere.
The various investigations have pro
ceeded on the principle of the Irishman's
pig in the old story, of which he said, "It
dic.n t weigh half as much as I expected,
and I always knew it wouldn't." As to
sugar, it has been proved, of course, that
Mr. Havemeyer and other agents of the
trust came here and worked hard, talked
with all the senators they could get to and
pulled every string they could, which is no
more than everybody knew they would do.
BAD BLOW TO FIXERS.
Plan of the Populist Machine to Swan
fusion to Be Smashed.
The Populists in the Second district
are about to have more trouble about their
congressional nomination than the Re
publicans; who have adjourned their con
vention to July ltt
As announced a few days ago the Pop-
uiibw congressional committee postponed
the date of their convention from June
22 to July 12 at Paola, two days after the
time for holding the adjourned session
or the Republican convention at Law
rence. Today It IL Sample, chairman of
the congressional committee received
a telegram from C. B. Hewlett, a dele
gate from Wyandotte county to the Paola
convention, in which he said the commit
tee had no right to postpone the date of
holding the convention and as a majori
ty of the delegates favored the original
date they will meet at Paola June 22nd,
and nominate a candidate for congress
regardless of the action of the commit
tee. Chairman Semple wireij back to Mr.
Hewlett that the delegates have no au
thority to meet at any time or place with
out the consent of the committee.
The convention was postponed in the
interest of a fusion nominee in case
Funston is nominated by the Republican
convention. Six members out of the
nine on the committee voted for the post
ponement of the convention.
It is understood that the scheme of Mr.
Hewlett iud his supporters is to meet at
Paola Friday and with the assistance ot
the delegates from Bourbon, Miami and
Anderson counties, the "Wyandotte coun
ty Populists will nominate State Senator
Edwin Taylor of Kansas City, Kansas,
for congress.
Taylor is a bitter enemy of the state
administration and for that reason an
effort will be made to sidetrack the
scheme to place him in nomination on
Friday.
The administration charges Taylor
with being a fusionist himself and say
he was elected by fusion votes, but Tay
lor's friends say he was elected as an in
d?pendent, defeating Billy Buchan.
Whatever the true inwardness of the
trouble may be, there will be an interest
ing meeting at Paola on Friday and
there may be two Populi6t candidates
for congress in the Secoud district this
year.
DEBS' LATEST MOTE.
The A. K. IT. to Form m Combine With
the Farmer' Alliance.
Chicago, June 20. President Debs of
the A. R. U., said today that steps would
soou be taken to form a triple alliance
between tho Knights of Labor, A. R. U.

said, about 1,500,000 men.
A convention under the auspices of
the Illinois State Federation of Labor
will be held at Springfield, Ills., July 2,
3 and 4, and then the proposed union
will probably be effected.
President Debs stated that there is
little doubt that the alliance will be
effected without opposition.
The platform which will probably be
adopted at the Springfield convention,
will contain the following planks: Com
pulsory education; direct legislation for
the laborer; a legal 8-hour work day;
sanitary inspection of workshop, mine
and home; liability of employers for in
jury to health, body or life; the abolition
of the sweating system; the municipal
ownership of street cars and gas and
electric light plants for public distribu
tion of heat, light and power; the na
tional ownership of telegraph and tele
phones; railroads and the collective
ownership by the people of all means of
production and distribution; the princi
ple of referendum of all legislation.

DOWN WITH THE LORDS.
The Movement Takes ou Activity at a Hi
Public Mast la ft-.
Leeds, Eng., June 20. Two thousand
delegates were present today in Albert
Hall, when Mr. Spence Watson called
the anti-lords conference to order.
The conference was organized by the
national Liberal federation and a commit
tee of. that body submitted the following
resolutions:
First That the power now exercised
by the house of lords to
mutilate and reject measures passed
by the representatives of the
ople in. he house of commons - has
been systematically used to defeat re
forms, is inconsistent with the right of
free popular self government and should
cease to exist. -v-
Second That the meeting call .upon
the government to introduce a measure
for the abolition of the lord's veto power
by providing that whenever a bill passed
by the commons shall be altered or re
jected by the lords, the same bill may
be reaffirmed by the commons, with or
without such alteration, be subject to
the royal assent, and thereupon become
law.
Third That the meeting assures the
government the resolute support of the
party in any steps that may be deemed
necessary to enforce the passage of this
constitutional reform.
Contrary to expectations, few of the
delegates present were men of note.
The most prominent persons on the plat
form were Chairman Watson, James
Henry Dalziel, member of parliament
for the Kirkaldy district of Scotland; Sir
Wilfred Lawson, president of the Uni
ted Kingdom Alliance for the suppres
sion of the liquor traffic and member of
parliament for the Cockermouth divis
ion of Cumberland; Michael Davitt and
Henry Labouchere.
During the course of his address at the
opening of the conference, Mr. Watson
said that the present condition of affairs
was unbearable. The time for action
upon the part of the Liberal party had
come. There must be a definite policy,
because the government himself was en
dangered. When once the policy of the
party towards the house ot lords was
formulated, there could be neither
wavering nor compromise. The battle
must be fought out to the end and the
end must be very determined.
Mr. Watson then move l the first reso
lution, that the power now exercised by
the house of lords to mutilate and re
ject measures passed by the representa-
tiues of the people in the house of com
mons has been systematically used to de
feat reforms, is inconsistent with the
rights of free popular self government
end should cease to exist.
Secretary Harford of the Society of
Railway Servants in seconding the reso
lution condemned the house of lords for
its attitude in regard to labor questions.
Alter other speeches had been made
on the same subject, delegate Barnard
complained that the racing and gambling
propensities of the lords had not been
mentioned in the resolution. The reso
lution was then adopted as proposed.
Jr or tiie second resolution Mr. La
bouchere moved a substitute declaring
that the lords being useless and danger
ous, ought to be abolished, and calling
upon tiie government to introduce a
measure for the abolition of the house of
lords.
Mr. Labouchere met with an enthusias
tic reception and during the speech
which he made upon his substitute, he
declared that self-government was a
farce so long as hereditary legislators
existed.

miles south. The horse was carried off
its feet and buggy and occupants drifted
over half a mile.
The horse and buggy finally became
entangled in a treetop, and Mrs. House
essayed to swim and wade to the bank
with her child. Jessie Barnes heard her
cries after she reached where she could
wade, and found her up to her knees in
water and mud, in a spot so dark she dare
not move, but cool and taking good care
of the baby. Neither Mrs. House nor the
child has yet felt any evil effects from
their adventure. The horse and buggy
were rescued without receiving much

the Pacts.
Empobia, June 20. In the suit recent
ly commenced in Lyon county, Kansas
district court, by Mrs. Carrie S. Plumb,
widow of the late euator f. li. fiumo,
against Major Calvin Hood of Emporia,
Major Hood on Friday last filed his an
swer, setting out in detail the facts con
cerning the transaction upon which Mr.
Plumb based her suit, and these facts
disclosed that there was absolutely no
liability on the part of Major Hood.
A representative of Mrs. Plumb called
upon Major Hood and stated that the
facts contained in his answer threw a
new light upon the subi?et and disclosed
for the" first time that Mrs. Plumb had
been misinformed relative to the actual
facts in the case. After a discussion of
the matter between Major Hood and this
representative it was agreed that Mrs.
Plumb should dismiss her action and that
to prevent any possible future friction
all matters pertaining to me late part
nership of Plumb and Hood should be at
once settled.

the whole matter thus settled satisfac
torily. GOV. IEWELIINO SUED.
Be and. Others Sued For $ , O O O For Al
lowing Atchison Joints to Ran.
Atchison. June 20. Ethel Phelps, the
twelve-year-old daughter of II. B. Phelps,
is the plaintiff in a $5,000 damage suit
against Governor Lewelling, the Atchi
son police commissioners, .Viayor Cloyes,
and the city of Atchison, which was filed
last nhrhc The datnugre was claimed be
cause it is alleged that' the defendants
allowed joints to run, where the father
of the child bought drink, and therefore
robbed the plaintiff of the support she
might have otherwise received.
It will be remembered that the mother
of the child brought a similar suit a week
ago against the city and county of Atch
ison, but as the police power of cities of
the first class in Kansas is under the su
pervision of the state instead of the city,
it would appear that the new suit is an
attempt to cover a mistake. The suit is
regarded as an attempt on the part of
the plaintiff's attorney to attract notori
ety. SUFFERING AND HARDSHIP.
Two Women and a Sick Bsb Out In the
Terrible storm.
Wichita, June 20. 1During the worst
of the storm which passed over this sec
tion and in the darkest part of the night
two women with a sick baby drove up in
front of the city building in an old, dilap
idated farm wagon covered with a ruin
ed canvas cover, and to which was at
tached two very skinny horses.
' "For the love of heaven give us shel
ter and a place to sleep," said the mother
of the child. "We are homeless, help
less and ill; my child has the whooping
cough."
Chief Cone at once ordered some of
the men to find a place to put up
and the women were taken to a
room in the basement where sleeping ac
commodations were provided for them.
Their story is a sad one.
The two women are sisters, and to
gether with the husband of one of the
women- they made the race into the
Cherokee strip last falL A claim was
secured and prosperity seemed to be
theirs; But first the husband sickened
and died, leaving the women alone.
Then they tried to farm this spring. A
long dry spell ruined their crops and,
being penniless, they concluded to travel
back to Illinois by wagon as they had
come. On the road the child was taken
sick, and the heavy rain aoaked the en
tire party. They have resumed their
lonely and sad journey back toward their
old home.

KANSAS AGAINST A STRIKE
Delegates to Interstate Miners' Conven
tion Instructed Ajrainst Suspension of
Work.
Pittsburg, Pa., June 20. It appears
from conversation with a number of del
egates to the Miners' Icter-state conven
tion that the call .'was made without
proper authority. There are about twelve
or fifteen Kansas delegates present, and
a majority of them say that they are in
structed to vote unalterably and all the
time against a strike or temporary sus
pension of work.
President McGregor, the delegates
say, is not looked upon with favor by a
majority of the miners in this district
and if it had not been for the desire on
their part to refute his statement that
they had decided to strike they would
have ignored the call for a convention
today.
