The supreme court of Kansas refused
to grant writ of mandamus applied for
by G. b. Lobdell, who demanded GER
tlficate OF election for representation
from Lane county. Lobdell based his
claims on provision of the state con-
stltution, which gives each organized
county IN the state casting $50 votes a
representative in the legislature. The
case was one of great Importance, for if
Lobdell had been admitted II other re-
publicans elected as delegates would have
been entitled to the same privileges.
Most OF them were ingalls, men, and
they would have given the senator
majority of two on Joint ballot. The
supreme court held that in no event
could the membership of the lower
house exceed 125 until there was
change in the constitution.

to define the line, of the army, and in
creases its efficiency. The bill provides
for the same number of regiments, in

try, cavalry and artillery shall have one
colonel, one ieutenant-colonel, three
majors and the usual number, of junior
officers, with twelve companies. The
1umber of enlisted men of all grades
shall not exceed 10000, five thousand of

II the president. The new regiments of
artillery shall be officered by promotion,
assignment and transfer of officers now
n that branch; any vacancies remaining
thereafter in the grade of the second
leutenants may be filled by transfer
rom the other arms of the service.
