tang the order Colonel Hughes at once
took charge. The various companies
which had been drawn up about the
state bouse, according the ideas of the
individual commandants, were given
stations at the four main entrances to
the capitol on its four sides.
CORPORATION HELP INVOKED.
The Republicans, hearing of the gov
ernor's action, held a hurried consulta
tion as to the course to pursue. No
definite plan was decided on, but indi
vidual Republicans tried to induce the
Santa Fe railroad to call out its shop
men to oppose the militia. Other in
dustries known to be in sympathy with
the Republicans were alto asked to fur
nish men for the same purpose.
POPULISTS NOT IDLE.
Meantime the Populists were not idle.
Company 0 of the local militia respond
ed promptly to the call, having been
notified by Adjutant-General Artz last
night to be in readiness. They marched
to the capitol grounds, took up a posi
tion and awaited orders. Orders were
also telegraphed to Hoi ton and Marion
for Companies D and G, and they start
ed at once on special trains.
A SHOW or doing business.
In the hell oi the honse, the Republi
cans made a show of doing business.
Oreat enthueiam and loud cheers were
evoked by the presentation to Speaker
Douglass of the sledge hammer with
which entrance was effected into the
ball, and which Douglass subsequently
used in place of a gavel to call the
bouse to order. A resolution was passed
citing Chief Clerk Rich of the Populist
bouse, Howard Breidenthal and Scott
to appear before the houee for contempt
in resisting the process of the house
yesterday when an attempt was made to
wrest Rich.
NO ARMED DISTURBANCE.
There were 24 Populist assistant ser
geants-at-arms in the house when the
Republicans forced their way in, but
they did nothing to prevent it except to
warn the Republicans that they were
destroying state property and would be
held accountable for it. The only
weapons shown by the Populists were a
Winchester and a couple of revolvers in
the hands of a mild young man, who
made no attempt to use them. They
were captured by the Republicans, and
will be preserved as trophies.
REPUBLICAN REINFORCEMENTS.
This morning the Santa Fe train from
Atchison and other places brought 75
Republicans to act as sergeants-at-arms,
and other trains are expected to bring
additional reinforcements. The Repub
licans, anticipating trouble, telegraphed
for the help last night. Some of the
messages were late in being delivered,
but the recipients got out of bed at mid
night to respond to the call.
The Republican house passed a reso
lution reviewing the situation and call
ing on ail citizens of Kansas for "moral
aid and active support to help resist the
forces of anarchy and revolution."
POPULISTS WILL BE ON TOP.
Governor Lewelling was found in his
jtivate office in consultation with Judge
Webb, attorney for the Populists, and
Chairman Breidenthal of the Populist
stats committee. The governor refused
to discuss the situation, but Webb said
the Populists would come out of the
fight on top of the heap.
When the Republicans took possession
of the boose they ejected the Populists'
sergeant-at-arms.
The governor has ordered out four
companies of infantry and two batteries
of artillery, and 25 men, chiefly farmers,
have been taken to the arsenal, uni
formed, armed and sent to the capitol
grounds. The Oakland company has
also arrived and taken a position in the
grounds.
IN A STATE OF SIEGE.
Til. Oapltol Surrounded hy Troops,
Republicans Hold the Hall.
Topeka, Kan., Feb. 15.—The Repub
lican! have nailed, baired and propped
every door leading to the hall. The
Populists have decided to freeze the
Republicans out, and the janitor haa
•hat off the steam from the hall. The
Populists have also undertaken to starve
ont the Republicans. The men sent for
lnnoh for them cannot get past the mi
litia lines. The house ia therefore in a
state oi siege.
CANNON BUM OUT AND LOADED.
A militia company has been stationed
near the arsenal with guards posted.
Two cannon have been run out of the
arsenal loaded with shot, and everything
looks decidedly warlike. The militia
have full control of the situation, and
every move of the Populist house de
pends on the governor.
IT CANNOT LAST LONG.
The Republican house is .in no condi
tion to stand a prclodged siege. It haa
neither supplies nor the means of ob
taining them. Baring the excitement
prevalent at noon they succeeded in
running the Populists' blockade and se
cured sandwiches ard coffee for lunch.
Enough was left for a Meagre meal this
evening, bnt when that is gone all hope
of eating, except at the cost of an un
conditional surrender, is rone. Guards
are stationed in all the corridors, and
no one is allowed to enter the building.
The steam is turned off and they are
forced to wear overcoats to keep warm.
The policy of the Republicans is to hold
ont as long as possible and wait for the
forcible entrance of the militia to the
hall. They will obey no orders to va
cate the hall and will compel the troops
to remove each man bodily.
OVKKTITRKK FOR PEACE REJECTED,
At the instance of Joseph Waters, the
Republicans appointed a committee to
visit Governor Lewelling and agree, if
possible, on a suspension of the hostili
ties. They proposed that both booses
adjourn until a case could be made in the
supreme court and finally adjudicated.
The governor would not consent to this
and a wordy war ensued. Finally
Waters turned to Judge Frank Doeter,
who is the leading Populist candidate for
senator, and who has been the legal ad
viser of the Populist house, and told
him it would be his (Poster's) interest
to settle the matter, "You have been
more active than any other member,"
he continued, "in bringing about this
state of affairs; bat for your advise to
to the Populists the house quarrel would
have been settled long ago. Now we tell
you that 100 men have it in for you and
if there is ever a shot fired in this ex
citement you will be the first to fall."
It being evident that no agreement
could be reached the conference broke
op and the Republicans returned to the
hall.
POPULISTS DRAW THEIR PAY.
Yesterday tbe senate concurred in the
amendments to the legislative approprl
ation bill, and last evening the bill was
A greet core for cough—Mrs. A. K. Mortis,
426 Canton street, Philadelphia. Pa , writes:
"I took several bottles of Dr. Ball's Cough
Syrup for ■ bad cough, tad was entirely oared."
approved by the governor. It makes an
appropriation of $50,000 for the salaries
and mileage of members of the senate
and Populist house. Early this morning
the Populists besieged the office of
Treasurer Biddle and began drawing
their salaries. In the meantime the
Republicans went before Judge Johnson
and secured an injunction restraining
the state treasurer from paying money
under the act. Notice was served on
the treasurer at 10:30 o'clock, but two
thirds of the members had already re
ceived their money. The injunction will
be a test of the legality of the Populist
bouse.
AN APPEAL FOR PEACE.
Governor Leweillug Addressee the Be-
publican Honae.
Topeka, Kan., Feb. 15.—At 10 o'clock
tonight Governor Lewelling appeared at
the door of the house and asked admit
tance. He was permitted to enter, and
as he made hie appearance the members
arose in respect. He made an impress
ive speech. "I come," he said, "not as
the governor of the state to order you
from the hall. I come to you as a man
and entreat you as citizens of Kansas
and men of honor to surrender to the
legal authority of the state and vacate
the hall."
Continuing he said: "The events of
the past two days seem to have robbed
both sides of their reason, and the situa
tion is so strained that the slightest in
cident might lead to a conflict and
bloodshed."
NO COMPROMISE CONSIDERED.
Speaker pro tern. Hoch interrupted
the governor to ask if it would not be
fair for each side to agree to vacate the
hall pending the settlement of the diffi
culty.
The governor said he would consider
no compromise and no appeal by the
Republicans. If the Republicans would
not surrender then be would be forced
to order the militia to drive them from
the hall at the point of the bayonet.
A voice from the seats asked: "Will
you abide by the decision oi the courts ?"
The governor declined to reply and
left the hall.
EX-GOVERNOR OSBORNE'S ADVICE.
Ex-Governor Osborne, Republican,
who accompanied Governor Lewelling,
said he had come with the governor
from a conference between a committee
of citizens and the chief executive, and
was assured from the temper of the gov
ernor and his associates that they would
consent to no compromise. Continued
resistance by the Republicans, he said,
would lead to bloodshed, and the scenes
of the border wars would be repeated.
Tomorrow would see the gathering in
Topeka of hundreds of Republicans and
Populists. The intense feeling prevail
ing would lead to a conflict and blood
would surely flow. He counseled mod
eration on the part of the Republicans.
preparing for the conflict.
The chief sergeant-at-arms then gath
ered his men about him and gave in
structions that they should follow in
the event of tbe military appearing in
the hall. He told them not to use their
revolvers until ordered by him so to do.
Representative Sherman, addressing
the house, said Colonel Hughes, com
mander of the militia, had told him he
had ordered his men not to fire except
in self-defense.
The Republicans then tore up the
desks on the Populist side, and with
them constructed a barricade in the cor
ridor and filled the stairway with them,
making an obstruction which it would
be difficult to scale.
THE FIRST CONFLICT.
Republican Members Have Nothing; to
Fear from the Troops.
Topeka, Kan., Feb. 15.—The first con
flict between soldiers and members oi
the Republican house took place late to
night in tbe corridor leading to repre
sentative ball. Representatives Davis
and Breidenthal, who had escaped to
get lunch, were challenged by the guards
on their way back. Breidenthal drew a
revolver and told tbe guard if he didn't
lower his bayonet he would blow his
head off. The guard allowed him to
pass.
At 1 o'clock this (Thursday) morning
the situation remains nnchanged. The
governor at midnight again called upon
the sheriff to summon a posse to pre
serve peace and the sheriff refaaed to
do so.
Colonel Hughes, who ia a member of
the houae, appeared before the house in
uniform at 11:30 and informed the mem
bers that aa commander of the troops
they had nothing to fear from him. He
would eooner reaign hia command than
carry out an order to eject the Republi
can houae. He also said the majority of
his command would withdraw from the
militia with him if they were ordered to
use force to drive forth the legally elect
ed and legally organized house of repre
sentatives.
He further intimated that his orders
to the guards, so far aa they related to
the taking of provisions into the hall,
had been relaxed. Hardly had tins
been aaid when a atring was dropped
ont oi every window and in a shorter
time than it can be told, baskets filled
with substantial lunches were hoisted
up and the Republicans broke their
long fast.
Information from the governor's office
is to tbe effect that no attempt will be
made to eject the Republicans before
morning.
At midnight, Sheriff Wilkinson in
formed Governor Lewelling that he was
a peace officer, and demanded that the
governor turn the matter over to him.
No reply was made.
BLOOD HAS BEEN SHED.
A Populist Official Wounded by ■ Re
publican Sergeant.at-Arms.
Topeka, Kan., Feb. 15.—At 6 o'clock
this morning two Republican guards
stationed in the corridor chanced to run
across Assistant State Auditor Maokey,
Populist, and arrested him on the charge
of having assaulted a Republican guard
during tbe morning scrimmage. He
was hustled into the hall ana after a
brief examination confined as a prisoner
in one of the closed rooms, under the
guard of tbe aasistant-sergeant-at
arma. Before long sounds of a
scofrle were heard and Mackey
plnnged through the door with blood
streaming down his face from a severe
scalp wouad which his jailer bad in
flicted with a walking stick. Mackey
said he attempted to open the door
leading into the hall and was assaulted
without farther provocation. The guard
says Mackey threatened him with a
revolver, and that he struck him in self
defense. Mackey was then allowed to
go. He is not severely wounded.

A NEWSPAPAR TRAIN.
The Associated Press Sends a Special to
Topeka.
Kansas Citt, Mo., Feb. 16.—At 3:30
o'clock this morning a special train on
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road,
carrying four Associated Press special
correspondents and a corps of telegraph
operators, will leave the city for Topeka.
It is expected the train will make the
58 miles between here and Topeka in
less than an hour. It is believed at this
honr that an attempt will be made very
early in the morning to force the mem
bers of the Republican legislature from
behind the barricades made of
benches from the Populist side of
the hall. This attempt will be in ac
cordance with the expressed determina
tion of the governor, who said he would
drive them from the chamber at the
point of the bayonet. It is generally
believed this radical step will meet with
armed resistance, and that the astempt
will be made very early in the morning
and before the arrival of promised re
cruits of both Republicans and Demo
crats from adjacent cities. This train
will consist of an engine and one car,
and is chartered for special use by the
Associated Press.

ing. It is now definitely known that be

DEMOCRATS EMBARRASSED.
Springfield, 111., Feb. 15.—The house
was thrown into an uproar for half an
hour today by a motion to suspend the
rules for the passage of a resolution
eulogizing Judge Gresham and congrat
ulating the country and Mr. Cleveland
on selecting him for secretary of state.
The Democrats opposed the considera
tion of the resolution, but the Republi
cans demanded the yeas and nays with a
view to embarrassing the Democrats by
forcing them into the position of with
holding their approval oi Cleveland's
action. The house refused, 56 to 66, to
suspend the rules.
GRESHAM'S HONOR DEFENDED.
Crown Point, Ind., Feb. 15.—As an
answer to the charge that Gresham is
guilty of political perfidy in acecepting
the portfolio of state under Cleveland,
Judge E. C. Field, a delegate to the Re
publican convention of 1888, who voted
for Gresham on every ballot, declares
him tbe truest friend and most cour
ageous where his convictions of right
and wrong are concerned he ever knew
and gives a bit of inside history of that
convention to prove it. He said a charge
was industriously made againt his loyalty
to the extreme tariff views then espoused
by his adversaries in the oonvention.
It was deemed expedient to have the
Chicago Inter-Ocean publish an editorial
Thursday morning of the first week of
the convention putting at rest all doubts
of the judge on this question. Accord
ingly the committee late at night laid
the matter before the editor, William
Perm Nixon, who proceeded to pen an
editorial on the lines indicated. As the
committee were about to depart, Nixon
said:
"Of course you have seen the judge
and have obtained hia consent."
We aaid we had not, but would vouch
for hia approval of it. He aaid:
"That won't do. I gueaa you don't
know the judge very well."
60 the committee went to the Palmer
house, routed Judge Gresham from hia
slumbers and explained tbe matter to
him, assuring him that the publication
of the editorial with hia sanction wonld
insure hie nomination and election.
He etood before ua In hlti white robe,
the embodiment of pnrity. There was
a pause for a moment, and tbe judge
looked handsomer and braver than I
ever saw him, and then he said:
"I appreciate your friendship and the
good offices yon are performing in my
behalf, but, president or no president,
yon cannot publish that editorial by my
authority, because I do not believe in it.
It is better I should not be nominated
than commit myself to that doctrine."
The editorial was not published.
CARLISLE'S COURSE.

Sherman Act Repealed.
New York, Feb. 15. —A Washington
special says: After a conference today
with Secretary of the Treasury Foster,
Carlisle said he could not see any oc
casion for apprehension in financial
circles, as the government would not
allow gold to go to a premium. "My
course as secretary ia perfectly plain,"
he said to a friend. "One of my first
official steps will be to issue bonds;
this will be followed by a special session
of congreaa. The Sherman act will be
repealed."

"Don't yo_ think, George," she said

"Do you object to smoke, pet?" he
asked.
"Oh, no, George, dear George; not at
all," she replied quickly. "I rather like
the smell of a good oigar, but—but"

WILL HAVE TROUBLE.
Chicago Kail way* doing; to Be Tied Up
by Hwltohmen.
Chicago, Feb. 15.—The Chicago rail
way managers have settled down to the
conviction that they are going to have
trouble with their switchmsn. They
are determined to resist to the bitter
end the demands which they are confi
dent will be presented within a
few days. At a meeting last
week the managers unanimously
agreed to allow no advances in the wages
of employees this year, and they say
they will adhere to that resolution re
gardless of the consequences. The
switchmen were in session here today,
and reports from St. Louis and other
points indicate that meetings are being
held simultaneously in different sec
tions. If the demands are refused, as
they certainly will be, there is
little doubt that a strike will follow.
One of the managers said this evening
that if they submitted to the demands
of the switchmen it would be but a
short time before other classes of em
ployees would come to the front with
similar demands. The companies can
not afford it, and rather than surrender
they will go out of business.
Biprels Train Ditched.

the first-class coach was telescoped,
the baggage and mail cars were badly
smashed. There were 26 passengers on
tbe train besides the crew. Nine were
hurt, but only two seriously. One was
an unknown man from Butte. He is
unconscious. The other is a man named
Cairns of Osnabrack, N. D., probably
fatally.
Alarmlet Cholera Reports.
Paris, Feb. 15.—A semi-official note
has been issued, declaring that tbe re
ports regarding the choleraic disease in
Marseilles are exaggerated and entirely
of an alarmist character. The reports,
the note adds, are prompted by persons
who have a motive in spreading them.
The statistics of the city show that from
January Ist to February 13th, the
deaths were 243 less than occurred dur
ing the corresponding period in 1892.
Another Blot at Wheeling.
Wheeling, W. Va.,Feb. 15.—Another

all deacriptiona were thrown and the
operators were compelled to desert the
car which ran off the track. The police
were hastily anmmoned, and they dis
persed the mob upon their arrival, after

HAPPY NEW YEAR.
The Chinese Commence Their Annual
Festivities.
Chinese new year will be observed in
Chinatown this year with more elabo
rate preparations than ever before. The
preliminary lull before the storm of
fireworks and general trouble with
Chinese devils prevailed in the precinct
devoted to the Mongolians laßt night.
The big joss house was in proper trim,
and wbb visited by hundreds of China
men and numerous white people yester
day and last night.
Chinatown was overwhelmed with
visitors last night, but in response to
curiouß queries, the invariable response
was "tomorrow," or in Caetilian phrase,
"mafiana." The new year week will be
fairly inaugurated today, and pande
monium will reign for the balance of the
week.
A Bachelor's Argument.
"Why don't I got up nnd give, my seat In
a car to a woman whom I happen to sea
Btanding after I am seated?" said a broker
the other day whose reputation for good
breeding is beyond reproach.
"Well, I'll tell you frankly that It Is due
to the women. They become more ill bred
and bolder every year. They demand a
courtesy as a right. They never think of
looking at a car as it approaches to sco
whether It is full .or not or as to.whether
Itwould be bettor to wait for tho next.
They just board the first to come along
and look at tho men deprecatingly if they
do not rise at ouco.
"Personally I have often waited for four
cars to find a seat. Then I hang on to it,
except in the case of a woman with a baby
or au elderly lady. lam a bachelor and
propose to remain so until a woman thanks
me for giving her my seat in either an ele
vated train or a horse car. To such a on.
I think I'd propose marriage at once. But
then I'm going to be careful to whom J
give op my seat. Pretty soon we men will
have to surrender onr seats in the theater
to tho woman who buys an entwines
ticket.
"And why not? Your seat in the the.
ater cost perhaps $1.50 and your seat in tb.§
car costs only five Cents. Still the prino!
pie is the same, and nf woman with n
proper senße of delicacy ought to accept
anything from a stranger which cost*
money.
"What would a woman think at ths
postage stamp window in the postofllce it
a man ahead of her in the line turned
around and said, 'Pardon me, madam,
won't you take my stampP' Yet a r.fcjjpjj
is only two cents."—New York Herald.

THE NEW CATARRH TREATMENT
Formulated From Years of Ex
perience by Dr. De Monco
and Associates.
It Acta Like a Charm— Mr. Henry
Scott
The $5 Rate far All Diseases Ex
tended Until March xst.
The great eharni of Dr. Da Monco and assocl
elates' new method of treatment is Ha mild and
soothing nature. It is ths palliative mbthod
as opposxo to ths HBKOic. It Is a process of
constant aad methodical cleansing, healing
and soothing the membranes, foul and irritated
by the poisonous catarrhal secretions, asa
wound mu»t be kept cUau from poisonous ac
cumulations, so must the membranes be kept
free from thew poisonous secretions. The
sprays and applications used in healing, sooth
ing and curing the affected parts by Dr, De
Monco and associates' aew mttbod are effect
ive, pleasant and occasion neither the slightest
pain nor discomfort. They relieve the nostrils
from their stopped-up and irritated condition,
cleanse the parts thoroughly, restore the
healthy action of the membranes, alleviate the
inflammation, and, with the aid of proper con
stitutional treatment, in good process of time
core the disease. The harsher methods of
treatment are done away with, and Dr. De
Monco and associates congratulate themselves
upon no one thin* more than upon the fact
that their new methods are painless as well a§
•scientific and effective.
The $5 per month rate not only ap
plies to the treatment of Catarrh,
both local and constitutional, bat to
all diseases as well.
MR- HENRY SCOTT,
A Retired Knslneas Man, Residing at
>".i Myrtle Avenue, lios Angeles,
<'*... in Conversation With the
Writer Says:
"I have suffered with catarrh in its worst
form for fourteen years. At first it began with
ringing and roaring sounds in my head, with
partial deafness in both oars, and at times en
tirely deaf in left ear. My eyes ran a stream of
water; nose discharged freely. Great quanti
ties of mucous dropped into my throat, making
it very Bore. I had sharp, shooting pains In the
chest—they would dart through my body and
lodge under my shoulder blades.
"Gradually tho disease, which first affected
my head and throat, extended until my entire
system waß undermined. I suffered terrib y
with catarrh of the stomach and indigestion;
after eating my food laid Jike so much lead in
ray stomach. I couldn t eat anything without
feeling distressed. I came to this climate in
search of relief, and while I have improved in
some ways, catarrh has always been my main
trouble aud annoyance. I have spent a great
deal of time and money on doctors and patent
medicines for the treatment of this disease, bub
all to no avail,
"After oue month's treatment at the De
Monco Medical Institute I have been relieved
of all these annoying symptoms. I sleep well,
eat well, digest my food thoroughly, and no
longer have that distressed feeling in my
stomach. lv fact, lam practically a well man.
I would recommend any person suffering from
this disease not to hesitate to place their case
with Dr. De Monco and associates.
"I tell you, the local and constitutional
treatment these specialists administer gets
right at the seat of the disease. I felt better
from the ve/y first treatment. There's no use
talking, I've tried every patent medicine I ever
heard of, aud I wouldn't give the snap of my
finger for any of them, but there is no getting
urouud tbe local and constitutional treatment
of Dr. De Monco and associates. 1 never heard
or saw anything like it before. It acted like
a chaim in ray enso.
"Why, I would cot go back to the aches ancl
pains I have suffered from catarrh for five hun
dred dollars, let alone five dollars.
"As I told my son, who came here sometime
ago aud spent $150.00 with other doctors tor
the treatment of catarrh, I had received more
benefit from one month's treatment at the De
Monco Medical Institute for five dollars than
he did for one hundred and fifty dollars with
other doctors.
"Yes, if any person doubting the veracity of
any part of this conversation will take tho
trouble to call upon or write me, enclosing
