ABOUT AS STRONG AS COULD BE MADE.

Kansas has gone little further than any State
in prohbitory legislation by adopting an amend

facture and sale Of intoxicating liquors except
for medical, scientific and mechanical purposes.
1t is reported that this has been adopted by a
majority Of 5000 votes. As a part Of the Constt-

repealed except through two thirds vote Of each
branch Of the Legislature, ratified by a vote Of

HOW THE NEXT CoNGR Kiss WILL
STAND,

Washington, November S-The Republicans
now cOncede that the Senate will remain In pos
session Of the Democrats. They will have ma.
lority Of two, counting David Davis Of Illinois
and Malone OF Virginia. Davis having formally
given in his adhesion to the Democratic party
can be depended upon to vote with the Democrats
on all party questions. Malone is mol so leliS-
BILE. he ia the leader of the Virginia Readjusters
and was elected by the help Of Republican votes.
He may be brought over to the Republicans by
patronage. In that case the Democratic majority
would be reduced to ore. The House is still
claimed by both parties but 1t seems likely that
the Independents will hold the balaLce Of power.
Most OF these will have Democratic tendencies
and will not allow the House to ue organized by
the Republicans, There win doubtless be live.
