Tli presltlont ntul the jecretnry f the treui ury arc to be hn estimated. This amur unce, conlltiR from Mi. Chutuiler, carries with It a tn.itter of national Importance. The Investigation, romleil during the next congress, will cert ilnly be very lu tcrestlnE. An elTort ulll be made to I'.iul out how the ileal e.une to be brought nbotit; where the ileal wus closeti nlul why llr. Stetson, a recent partner of Mr. Clcve lanil, appears as a witness to the boil J con tract; alo to learn who pot the cIrIu tnll lons of doll.us profit on the bonds. It Is believed the people ot the count! would like to known why Mr. Cle eland, aided by his recent partner, reached the con clusion that the provornment could nffurtl to sell a batch of bonds for $s,(V,J less than could have been secured on the same day, and why certain old-time business friends of the president are allotted a. se cret and private purchase, of bonds. It Is believed the Investigation will ex plain how certain piomlnunt men have so recently developed Into millionaires. The Investigation ulll show, as hoped by many, how si or seeu millions of dollars can bo saved out ot a comparatively small sal ary. In these wonderful days for accumulation of money It will doubtless be interesting to know how such results can follow such conditions. It may perchance bo shown that there is something In having conlldlng friends on the outside who cash in op portunities and make something of n divide all the way lound. It Is generally conceded th.it the sugar (rambling' anil other disreputable deals made during the consideration of the late tariff bill were the most disgraceful Jlnan clal opetatlons ever indulged In by those who temporarily frequent the capital build lug. This was a prolonged woiklng of the maikets by parties who got the secrets ot the llnance committee and used them to make money out ot their Investments. Hut all this most disgraceful proceeding Is eon ceded to be for surpassed In questionable teatuies by the administration bond deal. There Is one distinctive feature ot the late administration deal. In the sugar deals tho friends of the executive, the same friends who appear In the bond deal, weie piomlnent, as well as friends of certain senators who got contiol of the sugar tariff teciets. Hut In the late bond deal, with 1111 eight million rake-off, only the late business friends of the president ap pear to control the profit. This Is an im portant feature to take Into consideration In connection Willi me coming nivusnn.t tlon. Tho committee, will, ot course, be made up of Republicans and Democrats. Aa the capital end of speculation is not n the bond ileal. It is suggested that posslldy thc chances for an Investigation nnd not for a whitewash will be more favorable. IMPROVEMENTS AT TOPEKA. IUirrrntiittin t'urtls Introduces n 11111 for nil Addition ti til" liovcrimiciit Itiiltillug There. M-ashlngton, Veb. 21. (Special.) Arrange ments have been made for taking tip seven public building bills located at the capital cities of certain states, Representative Curtis succeeded in get ting his Topelca bill In the list. Ily this bill U Is proposed to appropriate $120,000 to be used in erecting an addition to the present government building in that eltv. The mat ter has been under consideration lor some time, but owing to tho policy of the admin istration to spend ns little money as lios tlbio In public Improvements, such bills have been held In the background. It Is believed that the plan to call up these bills, agreed upon by the commit tee, will go through all right, and In the event it does there Is little doubt but the Topeka bill will pass. Ah soon ns It Is pissed li will go to the senate, whero the two senators tiom that city ought to be ablo to pass it. KANSAS 1'1'NsION -IIATTIIRS.

BR0DERICKS ANTI-LOTTERY BILL Speaker Crisp (iel II I'eiv Messages In Itc- latlon tn 'I bat Important Measure. Washington, Tel) 21. (Special ) Speaker Crisp received a few messages jesteulay about the autl-lottcry bill. They came from different parts ot the country. New York, Georgia, Louisiana, many from Kan sas, some from Missouri and Nebraska nnd a few from Colorado. It seems that the people interested In tho bill have concluded to remind the speaker of what they want done. Representative Tlroderlek.who has charge of the bill, snjs he will do all lie can to put it thiough. The whole matter rests with the speaker. It Is certain that If Judge Culberson, chairman of the commit tee, would ask the speaker to give time foi the consideration of the bill the le quest would be gianted. Hut while It Is true thnt that committee passed a resolu tion risLtmr the sneaker to clve time It Is nl.-o true that It sometimes happens that tho spcalter ts toiu on mo quiei not io pav attention to a resolution.

Many who are posted on the w.iv certain mem bers manipulate public business tor private ends believe there Is an Influence at work very i lose to the speaker with a personal Interest In the matter or smothering the antl-lotteiy bill. This being the case, there are ver grave doubis at this time over the matter of being able to get thp bill thiough. NEWFANGLED KANSAS REFORM.
