LARABEE'S MESSAGE.
Des Moines, la. Feb. 14. Governor Lar
abee's message is a very lengthy docu
ment. It touches upon almost every sub
ject of interest to the state. The governor
dwells at considerable length on the -question
of prohibition, lie does not believe
that a high license policy or one which he
bays will leave only the "respectable" sa
loon in existence, will ever bo sanctioned
by the people of Jowa. 4'The gilded sa
loon," ne considers far more dancerous
than tho "squalid, outlawed, whisky dive"
The governor then enters iuto a long argu
ment against the licensing of saloous in
any form. Where the law has not been
enforced the blame, he thinks, lies with
the executive officers. A reconiiueudatiou
is made that the law be amended so as to
prevent undue search of private houses.

TEADE TOE THE WEEK.
Good in Most Branches The Outlook Some
what More Favorable.
New York, Feb. 14. R. G. Dim & Co'a
weekly review of trade says:
The business outlook is somewhat more
favorable. "While a largo amount of money
has gone into the treasury rates here re
main moderate and the market easv. All
interior markets aro also eisier, whi.'o
Kansas City is firm at the usual rates; the
demand there is moderate. At St. Louis,
Detroit and Pittsburg the market is easy
nt C to 7 per cent; at Philadelphia rather
stagnant at 5 vo C per cent; at Boston
better supplied at 5 to G per cent, funds
having been received from Xew York, and
at all other points tho market is compara
tively easy. Reports as to collections .ire
satisfactory with a. few exceptions. Alil
waukee notes "only moderately good" col
lections; Kansas City rather quiet, CIev
1'aiid rather 6lowand Detroit alow from
country, towns.
There is still no really auversa chance in
the iron business. The demand for pig
does not yet indicate a probable advance
in prices and at Pittsburg Bessemer is a
little weaker, but other iron is rather
stronger, because of the increase of 12 per
cent conceded in tho wages of coke work
ers. Conner and tin are lnwir jihrrvwl

below that of last year.
The textile industries present n more
hopeful aspect. Cotton manufacturers
have increased their taking of cotton large
ly. There is a better demand for woolen
goods also; manufacturers pursuo u con
servative course.
The speculative markets have not tend
ed upward during tho past week. In
wheat there has been a deelino of c and
in corn a decline of c, the current price
even at tho a-a board being only :55c
Oats are albo c lower and pork pioducts
unchanged, as is oil, with small transac

enormous, sales reaching S50.CQ0 bales for
tne wee: with an advance of a quarter.
Coffee has been steady with moderate
sales but sugar is 1 1-lGc lower and sales
Gc per 100 pounds below the
trust prices and continue to
weaken the rehned though trust
stock has been vigorously advanced.
The exports of wheat and flour have fallen
much below those of the same time hist
year, while corn exports continue laig.
For tho past week the treasury has taken
$-1,000,000 more cash than it has paid out
and while its disbursements for pensions
are expected to be large further purchases

two dozen members wore present when the

Thursday's session.
Messrs. Stewart and Barnes, of Georgia,
and Mr. Reilly, of Pennsylvania, entered
emphatic protests against the auoption of
the proposed codo and the action of
Speaker Reed was defended and upheld
by Mr. Iliines, of New York.
Thursday's session then ended, and the
session of Friday was opened with the
reading of the journal. Tho journal was
approved yeas 151, nays 1 (the speaker
counting a quorum).
Mr. Candler, of Massachusetts, from
the committee on the world's fair, sub
mitted a report which was ordered printed
and recommitted.
The consideration of the rules was then
proceeded with.
Mr. Eynura offered an amendment pro
viding when any bill is submitted for the
increase of pensions or for granting pen
sions not formerly provided for or pend
ing, it shall be in order to offer an amend
ment providing taxation for payment
thereof.
Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, said tho veteran
soldiers of the country understood the
pending amendment was the most thor
onghly antagonistic and hostile proposi
tion ever made on the floor of the house.
The soldiers had understood this proposi
tion and he proclaimed that there could
be attached to no set of rules a more dead
ly piece of parliamentary mechanism to
destroy tho rights of soldiers..
Mr. Bynum said he proposed that there
should bo money iu tho treasury to pay
tho pensioner. Ho did not propose that
the river and harbor bill, the French spol
iation bill and the direct tax refuuding
bill should take the money out of the
treasury, and that tho members should go
home and say to tho veterans that there
was no money to pay the pensions of sol
diers. 10 proposed to say, hero was

house adjourned.
E0U3S OLERES BEBUKED.
Tho Senate Administers a Scorcher and
then Oonimits a Grave Error.
Washington. Feb 14. Mr. Vest offered
a concurrent resolution to amend an error
in the enrollment of the senate joint reso
lution for the removal of obstructions to
navigation in the MississiDpi river. The
error had been made by one of the clerks
of the house and consisted in the omission
of the word "resolved" before the words
"by the senate and hoiifce of representa
tives of the United States iu cougress as
sembled." Mr. Ingalls commented severely upon
the blunder, spe.tkiuc of it as a case of
"legislation being tampered with by ineffi
cient clerks." He moved (instead of Mr.
Vest's concurrent resolution) that the
joint resolution in question be returned to
the house of representatives with the re
quest that the house send to tho senate a
copy correctly engrossed as it had passed
that body. Ho remarked that that was
the way to get rid of the difficulty and to
admonish the house and its clerks and
emplo3'e- that there must be more c.ire,
more scrutiny and more attention paid to
such matters.
Mr. Vest a-ented to that disposition of
the matter and remarked that the house
Ladjchanued nil its clerical force and now
had a lot of new men wno knew nothing
about their business.
Mr. Ingails' motion was acreed to.
Tne senate then began the consideration
of nensiou bill, one of the pension bills
(for a man named Dayid Peterson) having
been passed without opposition and with
the Ufcual rapidity of procedure.

- ENCROACHING ON INDIAN LANDS.
j Washington, Feb. 1L The secretary of

and that the Indians have asked to be pro
tected in their rights, as was promised.
The inspector says that if the town site
squatters are promptly removed no trou
ble will result; otherwise he fears con
flicts between whites and the Indians may
occur. Reports of great excitement in the
new territory, he says are exaggerated.
In response Secretary Noble has in
structed the inspector to notify all persons
interfering with Indian lands that they
must remove therefrom; that it has been
ordered that no claim by anyone for home
stead town sites on la'nds to which indi
vidual Iudiaus are entitled will bo received
at the land offices or allowed to be the en
tered. The military force at the fort will
remain until these matters are settled.
HARRISON'S OLD CLAIM ALLOWED.
Washixgtox, Feb. 14 A bill passed the
senate today appropriating 2.500 to pay
attorneys fees due Porter, Harrison and
Fishback. Toward tho close of the war
General Hovey convened a military com
mission to try certain members of the
Knights of the Golden Circle. A number
of years afterwards Lamden P. Milligau,
one of the persons convicted by the com
mission, brought suit in the United States
court against General Hovey and the
members of the commission fbr damages.
By direction of the secretary of war and
the judge advocate general the firm of
Porter, Harrison & Fishback was retained
to defend members of tne commission.
Mr. Harrison, now President Harrison,
did most of the work in the case for the
defense, and the bill passed today is to re
munerate the members of the firm for its
services at that time.

The Interstate Railway Commission Makes
a Baling on a Case.
Washixgtox, Feb. 14. Tho interstate
Commerce commission today in an opinion
by, Chairman Cooley rendered its decision
iu the case of Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific Railway company against the
Chicago & Alton railroad company, dis
missing the complaint.
The case is a controversy between the
two railroad companie's parties to the suit
involving the right of the complainant
company to be protected in its methods of
shipping cattle from points west of Kan
sas City billed through to Chicago and
allowing them to be held over at Kansas
City for an indefinite time to try the
market there and then if resbipped,
either the same cattle or others substituted
in their place, at the through rate origin
ally agreed upon; that the defendant com
pany shall have no right to take the re
ahipment from Kansas City to Chicago at
the proportionate rate of the original
through rate. On this point the commis
sion held as follows: "Where property is
to be transported by rail by continuous
and uninterrupted carriage from one sta
tion to another, there may be sound and
legal reabons for making a charge for
the through transportation which is less
than the hum of the locals for the transpor
tation of like property from point
to point between such stations, but where
property is billed from one station to an
other with the understanding that it is to
be unloaded at au intermediate station
and that whether it shall be reloaded for
further carriage will depend upon tho
option of the shipper or of any oue who
may become purchaser, the case does not
fall within the reason of governing rates
on through transportation and the carrier
is not at such intermediate points entitled
to have carriage protected as a through
shipment as against competitors."
A NAVAL SENSATION.
Washington, Feb. 14. The Star has
the following: From private advices re-
ceived at tho navy department it would
appear that the arrival of the United
States steamship Enterprise in New York
from Europe will be the signal for some
what of a iensation in naval circles. This
vessel is under the command of Comman
der B. H. McCalla. Upward of seventy
men, the letters referred to tate, have de
serted from time to time, unable to bear
what they consider the captaiu's harshness,
and there is a rumor of his having struck
oue man with his sword, injuring him se
verely. Ensign Keiuo and Chief Enclneer
Eutwistlo are now under hatches under
suspicion for offense, awaiting the arrival
of tne ship home, when there will be at
least two court martials. Keine's offense,
it is stated, was "sleeping on watch and
denying it," while Entwistle remonstrated
with the captain forusinir language which
he considered objectionable.
THE "WORLD'S FAIR

Washington, Feb. H. As predicted in
these dispatches la9t night the sub-com-inittee
of the world's fair committee made
a report to the full committee today, and
the latter immediately reported the bill to
the house. Two bills were reported, one
locating tho fair at Washington and one at '
either New York, Chicago or St. Louis. J
The method of procedure recommended is

call the roll is to be called airain and again

Arkansas Crry, Kan., Feb. 11. There
was considerable resubmission talk around
town today. While resubmission is by no
means an uncommon topic here, it pre
vailed just a little more today thau usuaL
So especial effort was made to advertise
the meeting tonight, but the people nan
caught on to the fact. A meeting of that
kind they wanted to hear about, and hence
it did not take much effort to let tho fact
bo known that at Highland hall a meeting
would be held.
The hall shortly before S o'clock was
crowded, the capacity being over 700. Mr.
Theodore Tersoa was elected chairman
and H. C. Thomley selected sectetary. Tho
president extended' thanks for the honor
and said a few words on tho ob
ject of the meeting, giving assur
ances that tha audience would
bo able to hear some resubmission
pure and simplo beforo the meeting.
The Hon. J. W. Steen, of Kingman, be
ing present, was received with cheers.
The crowd soon caught on to his Indiana
Irish stylo and were forced often to re
spond with cheers. He gavo a careful
history of the prohibition movement from
Maine to Kansas and made somo com
parisons between the advancement of
prohibition states and others where in
dustry in every department is allowed to
be free. It was tho opinion of many of
tha crowd at tho end of tho speech of
three-quarters of an hour that a stato
handicapped in the race of development
was certuinly at a disadvantage.
Tho chair in a few complimentary words
introduced the Hon. W. It. Payne, of
Wichita, who spoke for an hour and a
half. He made the nudienco think,
smile and laugh, and laugh, then
smile- and think. He took up tho
moral side of the question and showed
that the influence of free whisky to drink
was more injurious that when handled by
laws that could be enforced.

SAWYER AS A CORN MARKET.
Special dlspaics toth Daily Eaglew
SAWTEK, Kan., Feb. U. The town of
Sawyer, ou tha Chicago, Kansas & West
ern railroid, in the south part of Pratt
county is becoming known as a great corn
market. Clark Brothers have shipped
thus far this month sixteen cars of corn
and other dealers have shipped soma
twelve or fifteen cars. They are paying 13
cents per bushel. We are reliably in
formed that several farms have changed
hands in tho last few weeks and otner
parties are inquiring for land in these
parts. Pratt county will soon be the hig
hest advertised conuty in the state on ac
count of hr sugar and corn industry. 'W.
C Douglass, the postmaster, says bawyec
is more lively than for some time. Cl.irk
Brothers, general merchants, are now buy
ins almost even thing in their lino ac
Wichita. J

of Their Industry.
TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 14. Tho Kansas
Short Horn Breeders' association has
closed its session. About forty represen
tative breeders were present. Several in
teresting addresses were made by ex-Governor
Glick, J. M. Iluber aud others. Tho
followloc report, submitted by tho com
mittee on resolutions, was adopted:
Resolved, That the great depression ot
the animal industrv of' our stato is mainly
owing to bad legislation, which ha-s, mdl-,
rectly, injuriously affected" those en
gaged in agriculture and raising of stock,
and to a want of legislation directly
in tbeir favor, and in consequence of this
neglect by our law-makers, ooth state and
national, many markets havo been concen
trated iuto a few that aro controlled by u
combination ot wealthy buichern and
nackers who manipulate prices nt will.
Uesolvfd, Tnat we condemn tho njstem
of rebates practiced by jome railroad com
panies in favor of the shippers of dnsMni
beef aud as against the interest of those
.shipping live .stock, and wO c.ill upon con
gress to correct this abuse by proper legis
lation. Kcsolvcd, That wo ,aro in flavor of tho
free coiunge of silwr and of making tho
silver doM.ir a legal tender for all debts.
Kcsolved, That we condemn the .system
adopted by the Kansa& City ntoc 3tars,
whereby the prices for' selling stock aru
fixed without the advice or couteut of the
producer.
Resolved, That wo. urge upon the Knn
sas btato Fair a.ssociation to oner a'liberal
premium for a bull aud live of his gt
under 2 yers old, tbo got to bo bred In the
state ot Kansas and exhibited by the
breeder. This we urge upou the broad
principle of stimulating the breeding ot
flue bred stock and for thu encouragement
of Kansas breeders.
