KANSAS STATE NEWS.

Congressman HasIzeIl's Successor.
The election of a successor to the late
Congressman Haskell from the Second Dis
trict promises to present rather complex
condition Of affairs. In the first place, from
the present standing of the press of the
District, a contest is inevitable upon what
composes the district, whether the new man
shall be chosen from the old or new district,
upon which point the press is about equally
divided. Several things enter into this
discussion. The State, by the old appor-
tionment, has three Representatives from
defined districts and four from the State at
large. Last winter the State was reappOr
toned into seven defined districts. Thus
the Second District lost six counties on the
south. In one of these six lives Perkins,
his own undoubted successor from the
southwestern district next November, the
district comprising these six with as many
more counties. 1t is claimed by support
ers of the new district that he represents
these six counties; that the 'old DISTRICT
has passed out of existence as legal stand,
etc. The supporters of the old district
claim to elect by the new district, which
leaves those six counties ''unrepresented; %
that as the new man is to be elected only to
fill a vacancy he must be elected by the
constituency of his predecessor. While
the above are some of the arguments set
forth, the general prejudice of the politi-
clans is for the new district only. It is ex-
pected Governor Click will call for new
election the first of next week to take place
about February /. The canvass promises
to be a very complex one. Party lines,
with the many issues which will enter into
it, will be badly cut I'D.

10 view Of the Impending sale Of a
portion OF the French crown jewels, the
following particulars will be read
with interest: When they were valued
just after the revolution of 1889, they
were estimated at 81, 200, 900. and they
consisted of 1882 diamonds, sos pearls.
230 rubies, $50 emeralds, 134 sapphires,
II topazes, garnets, and three anne
thysts. They were stolen from the
Treasury. in which they had been de-
posted, and only very small portion
recovered, but the purchase made by
Napoleon and the Bourbon Kings brought
the total Of the crown jewels up to
$4,000, 600 when they were valued in
1882. When q fresh inventory was
taken in 1875 it was found that tho
crown jewels consisted Of ~, 4S6 stones,
weighing over 5000 carats, and part
of these will shortly be sold. 1t is 4
mistake, however, to suppose that all
the objects of historical interest will be
reserved, for many Of the jewels which
belonged TO the Duchess Anne Of Brit
tany. and became an appanage Of the
French crown when she married Charles
VIII, are to be disposed Of, as also sew.
