In his message Governor Mantty expressed the hope that. near The end as it Is. a law mijrht yet be enacted. It further recited that two brutal lights have lately been pulled off at Ga lena and Weir City.

Governor Staniey sent a message to the senate, as ne did to the house, vesteraay afternoon, statins that several prize fights had taken place in the state recently, one at Weir City and one at Galena, and that it had been impossible to prevent them be cause oi a decision ot the supreme court. He said that he had taken the matter up with trie county attornevs. but that they had done ail they could and that they could not stop the liKhts. The present law is practically invalid since the decision of the supreme court in the case of the state against Patrick Purtell. The governor a-sked that a bill be passed which would put an end to the ftifhts. A l.ul was introduced In the senate by Senator Carpenter which provided that a person convicted of engaging in a prize hltt. acting as a trainer or manager of a light or a contest with grloves, or a per son issuing- a challenge or witnessing a contest shall be judged guilty of feiony and sentenced to a term in the peniten tiary ol not less than one year nor more than ten years. The bill also gtlves the iudwes authority to cause the arrest ot persons suspected of preparing to engasre in a prize iiht oi boxitisr content and place them tinder a bond of from $o(Hl t6 $l.!i to refrain from ennasting in such combat during the next ten months. If the sheriff or other officer fail, to carry r-ut the orders of the court he shall for feit his office. Senator N'oftzp-er proposed an amend ment to make the crime a misdemeanor punishable by one year in the county Jail. The amendment was made on the irround that tile penalty was too severe for the offense and it would cause 'he law to lose its efltct. as. the extreme penalty does in the gambling: law. The amendment was adopted. LAWRENCE ISN'T SATISFIED Has Resolution Passed to Increase Pay of Legislators. The 1 ouse started out to secure better pay for members of tho state legislature by ac'.jptine; a resolution proposing: a constitutional ainendment for that pur pose introduced by James Lawrence, of Sumner. As passed by the house the propns lion is tlit every member shall receive $'. pay for a session and three cents a mile fr mileage traveled; also $3 a day for special sessions, which must be limited to SO flays. Tho measure almost faiied of reaching the two-thirds vote necessary, because a thirty-day iimit was not specified on special ses sions and mi'oage was placed at 15 cents per mile. These points were cor rected by ajntiiiimeiit, &nd readily passed by a vote cf 93 to lrjf The fi-iht on the mileage allowance brings up the reminiscence that when the present pay and perquisites of leg islators was fi.xed a great deal of trav eling was dome in stages, and what railroads were in operation then received seven cents a mile for fare. Railroad rates have drrpjed to three cents by statute and actually, besides there is the "little pass" that makes mileage, cut down t-.ve times, all silk anyway. Thort. too, the limit on regular ses sions is remove!. Instead of 50 days, at $3 a day, sessions could be continued as many days, as the members felt in clinel. with $300 being thfir full com pensation. If the senate concurs In the action of the horse, the people will have oppor tunity to vote- upon the proposed amend ment in November, 1902. BabVs resolution to submit an amend ment io allow cities to frame and adopt their own charters, a California method, tailed .o secure a two-thirds vote.- Biils put through on final passage were as follows: Providing- for the registration of vot ers in Sumner county.

Senator Smith's bill making it a crime to steal a ride upon a railroad train, was passed by the senate late yesterday af ternoon. It clothes the trainmen with authority to arrest persons beating their way on the train. The bill is as fol lows: 'Kvery person who shall climb upon, hold to or in any manner attach him self to any locomotive engine or freight or passenger car, or train or trains of any character, while the same are in motion or standing still, or who shall ride or attempt to ride upon any loco motive engine, railroad train or trains of any character, or in or upon any part thereof, for the purpose or with the in tent of stealing a ride thereon at any place within this state, shall be guiity of a misdemeanor; provided, that th's section shall not apply to any employj of a railroad company operating such train, locomotive, or car, nor to anv other person having business with or acting under legal authority of such taili-oed company. "Authority is hereby given to and con ferred upon railroad conductors, brake men and engineers of railroad trains to immediately arrest any person or per sons violating section 1 of this act.with out warrant Or other process, and to call upon any cystantiers 61" others for assistance, whenever the same may be necessary to enable them to make such arrest. "Kvery person who shall be convicted of a violation of any of the offenses mentioned in the preeeinr.g sections of this act shall be punished by imporisor. tr.mer.t in the county jail for a period not exceeding 20 days, or a fine of $2"s or by both such fine and imprisonment.'' The bill passed the house last night and will now go to the governor. LEIDY CHANGE ADOPTED. Senate Knocks Out Maximum Text Book Rate. The senate adopted the I.eidy amend ment to the Grattan text book bill by a vote of 2 to 8. The amendment wipes out the maximum rate and provides that the commission shall pay no more for the books than the lowest price paid for the books in any state. Other amend ments were made and the bill did not look much like the original measure when the senate got through with it The provision that the commission may buy books from authors was knocked out as. the senators did not want the authors to have any dealirys with the commission. The bill as it stands now will allow the commission to purchase almost any book they see ft'. If they are honest the state may get better books. but it is sure to pay at least 15 per cent more for books than it is new doing. The bill has gona to the hoase for con currence. If it refuses to concur then a conference committee will be appointed to adjust the differences. The senators say they will stand by the proposition that the law must be framed so that bet ter books can be secured, it must be either that or no law. Superintendent Nelson and his friends who have favor ed the Grattan bill as it passed the housa now have the responsibility of the passage of some law on their shoulders as they can influence the acceptance of the senate amendments or the rejection of them. It ia conceded by all that onless some legislation is enacted at this session the old uniformity law will fall to the ground through a constitutional question, as in terpreted by the supreme court. Every effort will be made to come to some agreement as a majority in both houses favor state uniformity. HOUSE HAS A DULL TIME. Woman Suffrage Discussion Engross es Attention. All the Interest was in the senate ses sion last night where woman's suffrage was being argued and all the spectators were there. The house had a dull time of it. Some bills were passed on third reading every once in a while and a call of the house was necessary every time. Then Dan Dyer would sttike for the senate and corral a big bunch of rep resentatives every time. Secretary of State George A. Clark's bill to require large corpoiations to pay equitable charter fees was passed. It maintains the present fees but provides that $200 shall be paid for each million ol capital In excess of $500,000. The bill is aimed at the Orient railroad. Senator Smith's anti-tramp bill was also passed. It provides that every train man shall have authority to arrest per sons riding on trains without permis sion. Drive Fakirs Out Just before the evening recess in the house, Mr. Righam's peddler bill, which is intended to drive lightning rod and steel range fakirs out of the state by im posing upon them a heavy license, was passed by a vote of 66 to 34. It looked for a time as though the bill would be defeated but after a protracted call of the house which kept it In session until nearly 7 o'clock and resulted in several members being snatched from the sup per table by sergeants-at-arms, the re quired number of votes were secured. Prize Fight Bill Passes. As soon as the senate bill to stop prize fighting reached the house an emergency was declared; it was sub stituted for the same bill introduced by Mason of Finney and passed just be fore adjournment last night. The bill was in the hands of Governor Stanley tor signature early this morning, with in 16 hours of the submission of his message to the legislature Lobdell Surprised. Chief Clerk Lobdell was presented with a $60 set of silver knives, forks and spoons by the clerical force of the house, Reading Clerk T. K. Richey made a happy little speech of presentation be fore the whole house, to which Mr. Lob dell responded in grateful vein. QUAT-.HELING OVER LOCAL BILLS The senate wasted a good deal of time this morning by tne different senators Attempting to get their local bills ahead of the calendar as arranged by the com mittee. Object-on were invariably raised and a debate would result. As a consequence nothing was done in the mornine session after the reconsidera tion cf the women's suffrage bill. REFUSE TO MARCH. Veterans' Organizations Decline to Participate. Washington, Feb. 27. Veteran or ganization of the civil and Spanish war have declined to participate in the in augural parade on March 8. The de cision affects organizations in the Grand Army of the Republic, the Union Vet erans' union and theSpartsh war vet erans. The dissatisfaction of the vet erans with the place assigned them ir. the parade is responsible for today's ac tion. It was their wish tc act as the personal escort to the president. Giand Marshal Green on the contiary assigned them to a position in the line ahead of the civic organizations and following the national guard. General Daniel Sickles today notified General Green that the veterans had declir ed to partic ipate in the parade and he tendered iii9 resignation as marshal of the vetcian division. " OPPOSES OPERA MUSIC. Dr. Damrosch Thinks It Has No Place ifl the Church New York, Feb. 27. Church music was discussed and illustrated and Dr. Frank Damrosch condemned operatic music In churches nnd the employment of quartette choirs last night at the an nual riimer cf tne Methodist Social union of New Yirk. Mr. Damrosch said he honed he would not tread on any Methodist or other toes in treating brtadly on music in the church, not music in the Methodist church. He saw three main uses in the church: as a preparation for spiritual thought as a means of expression for the deeper emct'ons and as an elevating force for bringing- the soul nearer to the divine power. He described how, by the proper use of music, the soul was at tuned to divire things, at the beginning of the service, nnd he deprecated the misuse of that opportunity by organists playing operatic fantasies. "1 do not want Italian melody," said Mr. Dam rosch. "when 1 enter a church, and moreover the organ should never Imi tate an orchestra; it is fine enough and grand enough to stand on . Its own basis." Dr. Famrosch regretted that a lack of appreciation for the great masters of music was sad.y shown in the compila tion of some cf the moi-e pretentious hymnals, and ne condemned the mutila tion cf the great works of composers to furr-isn the tones for hymns. "That is vabOa'.ism." he exclaimed, "and should not be permitted, and you should have a committee of safety ap pointed to prevent It The quartette choir." he said "is an American insti tution, and it is perhaps the cause of more trouble in the church than any other thing. I would not advise Ameri cans to be proud cf it. Not that we do not have excellent quartettes, but the more excellent Ihey are the less fit they are to be in the church. The solution of the quartette difficulty is the chorus. Choral music to my mind is the only music that is fit for the church, and in that it sinks the individuality of the per former in the mass. I would not, how ever, exclude the incidental solo from its proper place in a composition." James R. W1ck assisted tr tsVirte- ibe testimony in the Ealf Stark case. STARK CONVICTED.

"Do I understand you to claim from your standpoint that mob law can be justified at any time or under any cir cumstances?" asKed Judge Hazen. "No, sir; no sir. I do not say that that it could be justified under any cir cumstances whatever. "Is your contention that any condition can arise that v.ili .lustily mob vio lence?' asked Judge Hazen. "Oh without doubt," replied Dr. Mc- Failand. "BARKUS IS WILLIV Senator Carpenter Wouldn't Dodge U. S. Attorney Lightning. Among the different political prognos tications made recently is that Senator Carpenter, of Neosho county, is a can didate for the place of United States attorney for the district 0 Kansas. It has been a current rumor in the legis lature for several days, but Senator Carpenter seems to be the only man who knows nothing of it. Senator Car penter said this morning in answer to the question: "Are you a candidate for Lambert s place? "Well. I had never heard -f it until a few days ago, but a numbe r of senators have asked me about the matter and I have replied that I had not heard of it and I have not. I supported Mr. Burton six years ago and was the only man in the senate who did and on that account it seems to be the impression that I should have something. I have not thought of Air. Lambert's place and every one seems to know more of it than I do." Senator Carpenter has bee i one of the staunchest supporters of Burton and it is natural that he should be selected by the prognosticators for a good job, not only because he was a Burton man when he was lonesome, but because he is an able attorney and has been a leader in the senate.

Ixcal receipts were 54 cars, one of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 230 cars, against 243 and 623 cars a year a.go.
