CoE. II. II. fHtH0HJ, LedOeh9iOr1H, Adh.
Ny DEAR COLONEL: Your very con-
siderate letter of the 9th instant reached
this office during my absence from the
capital. [ ran across it this morning in a
mass of neglected correspondence, all of a
congratulatory character, too, and /
hasten to make reply. When [ tell you
that am very busy just now, administer
ing the affairs of state with equal and ex-
act justice to all, 1 know you will, in your
heart of hearts, excuse me for not having
made earlier reply.
1t may be, my dear colonel, that the OPP
position of the Leavenworth Times did
not elect me, as ''our dearly beloved bro
ther Joe Hudson predicted" but l feel
charitably disposed and will let that pass.
While your defeat is no doubt a source of
great regret to you, presume you have
become accustomed to the frequency with
which this happens, and assure you it
can make no difference in my estimation
ofyou. And l shall be pleased to meet
you in my Office lat an early day in jan
uary," or at any other time within the
next two years. My term of office will
expire about the l4th of January, 1893.
l always make it point to give a cordial
reception to every citizen of Kansas, no
matter how humble in life he may be, or
how often he may suffer defeat at the
hands Of his constituency. Please let me
know just what day you will call in JAN
uary, and l will strain a point to be in
the executive office.
By the way, my dear colonel, did it
ever occur to you that some people al
ways manage to laugh just where the
laugh really does not come in? Yours in
peace, LYMAN q. HUMPHREY.
The moral to all this seems to be:
Always wait for the official returns
and don't crow until you get out of
the woods.

DAN IS GREAT, BUT LYMAN IS
GREATER.

d. Il. Anthony, of the Leaven-
worth Times, and Governor Humph-
rey are not bosom friends. In fact
there has been a decided frigidity of
sentiment existing between them
for some time, occasioned probably
by the fact that Lyman asked Dan.
to resign his Office as police commits
Sioner for the city of Leavenworth.
Dan. never forgave Lyman for this
action. In fact, Dan. never for
gives anybody. A day or two after
the election it was thought that
Willitts had been elected governor.
Then it was that Dan. thought he
had been revenged, indicated, and
that the Times did it all with its lit
tie editorials. Then it was, again,
that Dan. wrote the following hu-
morous and sarcastic letter to Ly-
man:
LEAvESwoRTH, Kan, Nov 6.
Hon. L. Z. RnmPhyey, Governor Of Kansas !:
Ny DEAR SIR: We are busted! Shake.
The opposition of the Leavenworth Times
did not elect you, as our dearly beloved
brother Joe Hudson predicted. But the
Times always tells the truth. The Leav-
enworth Times never tells lie. Comics
sion is good for the soul, and is the first
evidence of genuine repentance. 1>had
not intended to call, but If agreeable l
will call upon the governor of Kansas at
an early day in January and extend my
warmest congratulations to him. l am,
dear governor, as ever, yours in truth and
eternal justice, d. r. ANTHONY.
Subsequent events tended to show
that Dan had, possibly, been a little
previous and he hastened to the
postoffice to recall his letter, but the
p. m. and Dan were not intimate
either and the premature little mis-
sive sped on its way, postage fully
prepaid, and in due time was receiv-
ed at the governors and perused by
the governors private secretary.
And it came to pass that as the
reading proceeded the secretary
smiled out loud and Lyme and his
friends were called in and they all
smiled out loud and mirth and hilar-
ity prevailed for the space Of about
one hour. And, after the tumult
had somewhat subsidized, Lyman,
who always makes it a point to an
swer all correspondence, a pointer
which he probably picked up when
in the real estate business, took his
quill in hand and between audible
smiles sent the following poetic gem
to Dan and which appeared in the
Capital of recent date:

HE HAD BEEN WARNED.

soliverskon Probably Killed by Nihilists-
Notice Served ON Him.
PARm, Nov. 2O.-At the request Of the
Russian embassy no autopsy will he held
ON the body of Gen. Seliverskoh. The gov
ernment is acting energetically against the
nihilists in Paris. LIE Natin says the po-
lice believe the killing to be the aot Of pri-
vate vengeance Of Podlerky, who was tho
lover Of the girl who had been enticed by q
woman at the instance Of 6elivefSko1, into
q house Of ill fame. This, IL is claimed, was
the motive Of the crime. A liason existed
between tho woman who induced the girl to
visit the house and seliverskoh. Nihilists
here affirm that the general was .the direc-
Tor Of the Russian police in France and
played an important part in the recent ar
rest Of nihilists in Paris. The newspapers
recall the fact that q servant Of Seliverskof
named Muller, was assaseinated in Paris in
1858 and that the murderer was never
found. Since then the general has received
. number Of letters threatening him with
death.
Eclair says the nihilists committee de-
cided that If Sophia Gunsberg. arrested at
St. Petersburg Tor having bombs, was SEN
tenoed TO death 6eliverskof should be
killed. The woman was sentenced to be
hanged Monday and the shooting occurred
tko day after.

but decline to state how many or Of what

and were acting in strange manner, and
the famous Indian, stepps. the Cripple,

that some Of the hostiles had urged them to

They claim to stand in great fear Of the

TROOPS ARRIVE.
Ger. Drooke's Command Reaches the
Scene Of the Threatened Trouble.

Gen. Brooke's Command Reaches the
ecene Of the Threatened Trouble.
CHrcAoo. Nov. 9o. Cen. Miles this even-
ing received telegram from Ruahville,
Neb.. informing him that Brooke's com-
mand reached Pine Ridge at seysn o'clock
this morning. Indians are coming in In
large numbers from Rosebud. There ID
much excitement and tho ghost dance con-
tinues. Gen. Miles also received COM
munication from an officer at the camp on
Poplar river, Montana, dated November II,
containing considerable matter of interest
with reference to the messiah craze. The
officer reports all Indians in that vicinity
affected BY the prevailing craze and even
the moro intelligent half-breeds believe in
it. Numbers Of young Indians recently
procured new Winchester rides, but whore
the officer could not ascertain. There has
been no excitement up there yet, nor any
dances, but there is deep and universal In
terest and belief that there will be aston
ishine supernatural manifestations before
very long. Ono Of Sitting Bulls lieuten-
ants, White Gut, with two other Sioux, had
recently bean mp there preaching the new
doctrine, denouncing schools and telling
the Indians to provide themselves with
arms and ammunition, and meet other In
dians next spring in the Black Hills coun-
They were ordered of the reservation and
went to the Woody mountains, north of the
British line, to proselyte the remnants OF
the Ogallalas and Uncapapas. One of the
loyal Indians told this officer that in case
the Sioux should open hostilities many
young warriors from that vicinity were
likely to 90 out and join them. The
Ogallalas and Uncapapaa, north of the
British line, are q bad lot. Some of them
were in the Custer affair and some of the
older ones were concerned in the Minnesota
massacre of '62.
The Gros ventres Indians, at Fort Bel
KNAPP reservation, are in very turbulent
state. As an instance Of the stories float
ing around, tho officer tells one current on
the reservation to the effect that several
young warriors started from there to visit
Sitting Bull and learn about the new mes
Hawk, said he had been commanded in
q dream to kill himself as test
of faith, with the promise that he should be
raised from the dead. He committed sui
eide accordingly and the party went on
without him. When they reached Standing
Rock they found Yellow Hawk there alive
and we'll, having been resurrected and taken
to Standing Rock ahead Of his companions.
This is the story sent back by the travellers.
Gen. Miles expressed great satisfaction
this evening that Gen. Brooke's troops
reached the agency this morning before the
Indians had inaugurated hostilities, and
committing any violence. ''Now,'' said he.
they have to attack ne in cur own posi-
tion or else break away from tho reserva-
tion. The danger now is that turbulent
bucks may leave the reservation. The ap

Tho Worlds Fair Comm ission Finally Sc

Tho Worlds Fair Comm ission Finally Set
ties the Site Question.
CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-The board Of lady
managers Of the Worlds fair this morning
reassembled and elected Mrs. Potter Palmer
president. Mrs. Gen. John A. Logan having
declined the nomination in favor Of Mrs.
Palmer. When the national commission
resumed it's session this morning the trouble
between the executive and foreign affairs
committees was settled by the adoption of a
resolution setting forth that no disrespect
to the foreign affairs committee was in
tended, but simply an iutimation that, ow-
ing to the state Of funds available, strict
economy was necessary in all committees.
The auditing committee reported the ex-
penses of the commission to date to be
$51, 900. The report of the committee on
buildings and grounds was then taken up.
This is one of the bombs which was ex-
pected to explode with great violence, as il
embraced the question Of what portion OF
the fair would be placed on the lake front,
It recommended that the fine art and
decorative art buildings, music hall, cleo
trical display, water palace and steel tower.
with other germano exhibits, be placed on
the lake front with the main department
Dul!dlngs, government and state exhibits in
Jackson park, and the overflow in Midway
plaisance and Washington park. Commits
sioner DeYoung, Of California, who intro
duced resolution several days ago rescind-
ing the acceptance Of the sites, announced
that he had not called il up because he and
others were not satisfied with the manner
in which the buildings had been allotted.
With all the main buildings grouped to-
gether, he did not care what side affairs
were put on lake front. He moved to strike
out the words decorative art building,''
and leave it simply the art building, that
the meaning might be clear. Mercer, Of
Wyoming, strongly objected to anything
bnt the art gallery going on the lake front.
He also hled protest against the double
site, submittsd BY thirteen different associ-
atoms. Sewell. Of Maryland, Jones, OF Mis-
souri,. and other commissioners, including
President Palmer. spoke in favor of the re-
port. DeYoung's and Mercer's amendments
were voted down and the report Of the COM
mittee adopted. finally settling the vera
tious site question.
