CREDIT IS EXHAUSTED.
Gov. Thomas Says Colorado is
Threatened With Bankruptcy.
Denver. Jan. S.Governor Thomas
today transmitted his final message to
the legislature. Concerning the condi
tion of the state's finances and plans
for increasing the revenues, he said:
"Our credit Is exhausted and we are
face to face with the alternative of re
lief or bankruptcy.
"I would recommend that our great
industrial corporations operating and
owning property scattered throughout
the state be placed with transportation
companies under the jurisdiction of the
state board of equalization. I know of
no other method whereby they can be
compelled to ratably and Justly contrib
ute to the public burdens. Their eva,-
sions of the revenue laws are general
and notorious. They are powerful
financially and politically, and use both
in the choice and control of the assess
ing authority. thereby securing the
adoption of their own valuations. In
some counties of the state they domi
nate and direct every public agency
from the ditrict bench to the overseer
of highways; nominate candidates for
all parties, and poll the franchise as
their interests demand,
"Experience teaches that two meth
ods of reaching personal property may
be effectively employed. One is the
taxation of incomes, the other of inheri
tance. They are neither novel nor bur
densome." The governor advocates the taxation
of franchises., He recommends a, bond
issue for the funding of the entire out
standing warrant indebtedness of the
state. including- the so-called excess
warrants and accumulated interest
thereon. The floating debt of the state
for the payment of which the governor
declares some provision should be made,
amounts to $2,073.077

NO RAILWAY COMBINE.
--
President Jeffery Says No Sane Mind
Would Attempt It
Denver, Col-. Jan. 3.--President E. T.
Jeffery, of the Denver & Grande
road, who is chairman of the e-xecutive
officers' association, meeting four times
each year in New York, says there is
not a particle of truth in the reported
gigantic railway combine which is to
control all the great lines. In an inter
viex he said:
"NobodY in his sane mind ever
thought of attempting to combine- all
the railways into a great organization
to control the commerce of the countrY.
The meetings in New York have no such
purpose and if railway managers can be
brought to a pointwhere they will simp
ly obey the interstate commerce law,
the ma-n object of the meetings in New
York wl!I be accomplished. If the lines
will quit rate cutting and simply obey
the plain letter of the law, that is all I
would ask and it is quite enough for one
organization to accotnplish. I have al
ways beenNa stickler for obedience to
the law. I...et the railway managers car
ry out the plain provisions of the inter
state commerce act; let them trea.t all
shippers alike and make changes in
rates only after giving public notice as
required by law. If this is done there
will be need of combinations to try to
control the traffic."
"What would bec!ome of the weak
lines if the law were obeyed" he was
asked.
"They wctuM go out of existence," was
the reply. "Thatis the natural law and
I see no reason why the weak railways
should be forever upheld by those that
are able to take care of themselves. Let.
the weak lines be absorbed by their
more vigorous competitors or let them
go out of existence altogether. In either
event the public is the gainer and the
business interest is better off."

Wyoming Is Unable to Meet the De
mand For Coal.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 3.--If the pres
ent cold weather continues for another
week, Cheyenne will have to submit to
the incooveniences and hardships of a
coal famine. The lack of coal Is due to
the inabilitv of the operators to fill or
ders, notwithstanding the fact that the,"
have increased their forces, installd
new machinery, opened new mines, etc.
The order of the government for over
100.000 carloads of coal to be delivered
on the Pacific co,ast which was placed
with the Rock Springs mines last Jure.
is DOW taxing the facilities of at least
two mines at Rock Springs. Increased
orders from Kansas, Nebraska, South
Dakota, Idaho and Utah a,nd the :oval
demand, which is the heaviest ever
known, add to the difficulties encounter
ed bv the coal companies. Experienced
coal miners are also scarce and there is
hardly a mine in the state that is woilt
ing full time. T;le highest wages CA er
paid coal miners in the west are of
ferf,d. Cheyenne has been drawing upon the
fields of northern Colorado for a portion
of her fuel but in consequence of the la
bor troubles there it is feared this sop
ply may be cut off altogether. It is be
Levert that the present situation will r?-
suit in the opening of many new mines
in the state during the year.
LITTLEFIELD IS OUT.
Santa Fe Attorney llesign3 to
Engage in General Practice.
Walter Littlefield, assistant attorney
In the Santa Fe law department, in To
peka, will sever his connection with the
railroad on March 1.
Mr Littlefield came to this city, and
has been assistant attorney from that
time, July 1, 1890. When he retires in
March it will be to engage In general
law practice elsewhere, probably in
Kansas City.
Mr. Littlefield came to Topeka from
Ottawa., where for several years pre
vious he had been local attorney for the
Santa Fe.
After leaving here in 3.darch, and be
fore definitely locating elsewhere, Mr.
and Mrs. Littlefield will visit the Pa
cific coast on a pleasure trip. After
that they will most likely make their
home in Kansas City, where their
daughter now resides.
No successor to Mr. Littlefield has
been named.
Cartned Fish Dealers Lose Trade
New York, Jan. 3.The Journal of
Commerce says:
It is stated in west side canned goods
circies that the matter of discovering
the author of the rumor or report re
cently published to the effect that coast
packers of salmon were canning Louisi
ana catfish and branding it as salmon,
has been turned ovPr for the consider
ation of the United State9 fish commis
sion. The rumor or report, it appears,
was taken seriously in certain east side
quarters. particularly among- the He
brews, who, because of their religion,
which prohibits the eating of catfish,
declined to buy salmon in many in
stances. This action resulted in some
loss of trade to canned. fish dealers
here.

neroarkable Discoveries of Professor
Emanuel in Ilichigan.
Saginaw, Mich.. Jan. 3.Professor
Crisp Emanuet of the Royal college of
Learning, Madrid, Spain, is reputed to
have made some remarkable discoveries
in "the thumb." He has found positive
traces of a great prehistoric race that
occupied North America thousands of
years before the sailing of Columbus
from Genoa
A stone wall, measuring' fifteen to
twenty feet in height and somewhat
wider at its base, has been found buried
in the marshes and extending about
twenty-five miles from a point near
Sebewaing to the little village of Paris
ville. It traverses parts of three counties
and marks the southern boundary line
of "the thumb." The wall is in a good
sta,te of preservation and has escalted
discovery for so long a time only be
cause of the marshy land in which it is
buried.
LOOTING PARTIES
Sent Out in China Under Guise
of Punitive Expeditions.
New York, Jan. 3.--A Herald dispatch
from Pekin says:
The punitive expeditions of the powers
prove to have been simply looting par
ties. Lieut. Col. Wint of the Sixth cav
alry met tbe Germans at Tang-Him
where the latter had taxed, the villagers
4,000 taels ($2.700) and 100 pony loads of
furs, as punishment for the alleged mur
der of imaginary Christians. He had
express orders from Gen. Chaffee to co
operate with the Germans, butwithdrew.
The ulterior motive and object of the
Germans in reducing the province to a
desert and in destroying the lastvestiges
of Chinese authority is apparent, but
why the American forces should be or
dered to assist in the work is not clear.
Hong Kong, Jan., 3.--It is reported
that robbers recently attacked the cus
toms station at Kumchuk, in the west
river country and obtained loot valued
at $8,000.
INSIST ON SIMPLICITY.
State Officers Don't Want a Big
Demonstration.
'The inaugural ceremonies at the state
capitol this year will probably be very
simple. Topeka seems to have lost in
terest in inaugurals, and the citizens
of the tOW11 have nothing to make a
spread this year. The state officers may
hold an informal reception on their own
account. but a majority of the state offi
cers say that the less noise made over
the inaugural the better it will suit
them.
'1 he idea that prevails among the state
officers is that they should go to the
supreme court room and be sworn in
and return at once to their offices and
resume their work. This is probably
about all the ceremony will consist of.

NINETEENTH ANNUAL
-----
Report of the American Board of For
eign Missions.
Boston, Jan. 3.The nineteenth annual
report of the American board of foreign
missions was made public today. The
donations received during the -year ag
gregated $317,915. The report says:
"During the last decade the number
of -organized churches in the Marathi
mission, India, has increased from 33,
with 2,115 members, to 46, with a mem
bership of 3,935. All departments of
evangelization unite in the 260 Sunday
schools, with 7,469 pupils scattered
throughout the entire field of the mis
sion. "By the operation of new treaties,
missionaries can reside in all parts of
the empire of Japan, and all classes of
Japanese are becoming- more and more
accessible. The call for new Christian
literature is loud and persistent. The
Desnisha is the only school of high rank
in Japan, which has its Christian prin
ciples clearly set forth in its constitu
tion. "Never before since the revolution
that initiated the new order of things
in Spain in the year 1969 has there been
such open and violent ha,te expressed
against not only the gospel, but all
liberalizing' thought and action. In
Granada the mob, led on by students of
the schools and university, two or three
different times in the course of one
month attacked the Protestant chapel
in broad daylight, tearing down the
sign that -was inside of the public door.
stoned the house, breaking windows and
making such a noise as to alarm the
neighborhood. Not until after repeated
complaints did the governor make any
pretense of checking the scandal. This
is but an illustration of what has taken
place in the province of Cadiz. in Barce
lona and other places. These move
ments are openly condemned by the
Liberal party in Spain."

OLEO BILL.
-
Its Consideration Is Resumed by the
Senate Committee.
Washington, Jan. 3.The senate com
mit!ee on agriculture today resumed its
hearing on the oleomargarine bill. W. M.
Springer, representing- the National !Live
stock association. was the first person to
be heard. He spoke in opposition to the
bill. He said the association which he
appeared for represented a combined cap
ital of $600.000,000 and that it now holds
annual conventions. He read a memorial
from the association in opposition to the
oleomargarine bill as an effort to build
up one interest at the expense of another.
He quoted figures to show that whereas
the milk COWS of the country are valued
at S514.i)00.0Oti the other cattle foot up an
aggreg-ate of TGs9,000,000 in value. He said
that tho opinion of stock raisers is unan
imous that the passage of the pending bill
would mean the destruction of the oleo
margarine industry, and he argued that
there was little effort on the part of the
promoters of the bill to conceal this pur
pose. Two gentlemen present. named respect
ively Adams and Knight, interrupted
Judge Springer while he was quoting from
reports from the house to say that they
hail been entirely misrepresented by those
reports. Mr. Knights said that a letter
had been printed in the Congressional
Record, whieh purported to have been
written b3r him, which was an absolute
falsehood.
Mr. Springer was also interrupted by
Governor Hoard, of Wisconsin, who re
iterated his charge of attempted bribery
of merchants by oleomargarine manu
facturers. Continuing Mr. Springer charged the
friends of the bill with Interfering in
politics, and he quoted a, letter from
Mr. Knig-ht, who is secretary of the
National Dairy union, with headquart
ers at Chicago, directed to a constitu
ent of Congressman Wadsworth, saying
that his re-election unless by a. greatly
reduced majority would be a "triumph
of the stock ya,rds and oleomargarine
frauds."
Mr. Knight, who NV aS present, said
that Wadsworth's majority ha,d been
reduced 2,000.
