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 THE LIQUOR SALES. Slight Falling Off Shown In Probate Court Reports.

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." CAN'T KEEP UP. - - 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. P.4 hroat Troubles You forgot to buy a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral when your cold first came on, didn't you ?

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. NEW CITY YORKERS. - Commercial Club Will Elect Directors Next Week.

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."

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. KANSAS AT BUFFALO. - Designs For the State Rai Wing Nearly Ready.. J. E.
