EIGHT CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.
The House committee on Cogres-

bill, distributing the state into North
east, East Central, Southeast, South
Central, Central, Northwest and
Southwest districts, which will
probably be numbered from one TO
eight in order respectively named as
above presented.
The general classification 10 such
that the Northeast district will have
Nemaha and Pottowatomie counties
taken from il, and Wyandotte, from
the East Central added TO ii; its num-
Der reduced by one county. II will
thus have seven counties, four Of
them bordering on the Missouri river,
with Brown, Jackson and Jefferson
as interior counties
The East Central, now having nine
counties, will lose it's most populous
-Wysndotte- have added
thereto the counties Of Cotfey and
Woodson, from the Central district,
and thus have ten counties
The Southeast district of nine
counties, losing it's most populOus
one -Cowley-on the west, and gain
ing Greenwood from Central.
The new district-the South Cen
tral-will have seven counties; Cow
ley from the Southeast one, Butler
from the Central, Harvey, Sedgwick,
Sumner, Kingman and Harper from
the Seventh. The Central, of eleven
counties, will lose four-Coffey and
Woodson going to the East Central;
Greenwood to the Southeast, Butler
to the South Central and the gain
comes from the North Central
Dickinson, making eight counties.
The North Central, Of ten counties,
loses Dickinson and gains Nemaha
and PottOwatomie counties.
The Northwest district Of twenty
two counties, remains the same terri
tory, but becomes the Seventh, the
Fifth becoming the Sixth, and the
Fourth the new Fifth district. The
new district the South Central be-
comes the new Fourth district.
The Southwest district, the new
Eighth, becomes the least populous

honor. There never was a time OF
great danger or a crisis OF great mag
nitude chat its cowardiCe was not
manifest In 1875, when the very
existence Of the government was
threatened by armed treason, capital
was timid and it skunk away like a
coWardly cur to the dark Caverns and
double barred vaults of Wall street.
Had the preservation Of the nations
life, in that hour depended upon
capital instead Of the patriotism and
the courage OF the hardy SONS OF toll,
then would our government have per-
ished from the face ofthe earth When
ever the government or the people
are in sorest distress and in direst need,
then is capital most timid. II is
never timid when there is an oppor-
tunlty 10 speculate at the expense Of
either. Il is never timid when on
gagged in schemes Of robbery and
plumber. When, in the darksome
days Of the war, the currency of the
nation had been deprecated by law
at its behest, IL did not then fear to
come forth from it's hiding place and
reap the profit Of it's villsiny. It's
timidity all disappeared when green
backs could be bought for 30 cents on
the dollar, and these in turn con-
verted into interest-bearing bonds at
discount Of 40 per cent
We are told now that capital is
frightened again The hayseed Leg
islature OF Kansas is foolish enough
TO believe that the people Of this state
have rights as well as capital, and
gtraightway capital becomes timid and
hides away in its hole. The pluto
cratic press howls and the party
hirelings bray, the banks refuse accom-
mediation TO their best customers, the
loan companies instruct their agents
10 make no more Investments and to
renew none Of the loans they now
hold until the people "come to their
senses" which means until they re-
linquish every personal right and
quietly submit to become tenants and
slaves. These things are to be ex-
peCted. II has never beeh for mo-
ment supposed that capital would re-
lease it's grip upon the throats Of Che
people until forced to do so as a re-
suit Of the tremendous struggle which
is now in progress. The people have
counted the cost, however, at the out
set. They have undertaken this
struggle with full understanding Of
it's desperate character, and full de-
termination to pursue it to the end.
The bulldOzing schemes designed to
intimidate the members Of the Legis-
lature will fail Of their purpose If
any obstacles stand in the way Of
present success they will be removed
at the next election. or one thing
timid capital may rest assured, the
people are not tlmid and have fully
dakArminad nnon release from the

ley, private secretary of the dead states
man, attended the remains TO Washing
ing. A committee, representing the
Board of Trade and Transportation, ac-
companied the remains as a guard OF
honor.
From early this morning the corri'
dors of the Fifth Avenue Hotel bore an
animated appearance, men OF proml-
nence coming and going constantly and
gathering in groups to silently discuss
the sad occurrence of last night.
Examination OF the body made early
this morning by Coroner Schultz and
Deputy Coroner jenkins confirmed the
belief that death was instantaneous.
The examination was superficial one.
Death, it is said, was from valvular dis
case of the heart.
When the inquest was finished the
body was placed in a casket OF sombre
black relieved by no ornamentatlon.
The interior was lined with deep color
cd copper, and all the body was hidden
from view with the exception OF the
face, which showed plainly beneath a
glass cover. The features exhibited no
signs OF pain, and the Secretary as he
lay in this room where single ray OF
sun sent its glimmer through crevice
in the window, looked If he had sunk
into calm and peaceful sleep.
The funeral cortege arrived at the
Liberty street ferry at few minutes
past II, and Immediately went on board

city.
On the Jersey side the coffin was ten

to a special Wagner car. The casket
was placed in the rear end and the com
mittee of four, from the Board OF Trade,
together with Secretary Tracy and Mr..

UNPRECEDENTED IN VOLUME.
An Increasing Demand for WOOl-Ths Cause Of
Ihs Embarrassment ID the Iron and Steel
Business-Ths Death Of Window
Causes Drop in Bar Silver
in London.

New YORK, January 30.-R. G. Dun
< Co 5 weekly review OF trade: Busi-
ness continues unprecedented IN volume
and satisfactory in character. The dry
goods trade is on the whole very salts
factor for the season. The increasing
demand for wool though still confined TO
actual needs for consumption proves
that the current prices, low as they are,
do not arrest production. Trade
in boots and shoes and leather is some
what retarded by the monetary condi-
tion. In the manufacture and sale
of machinery implements and tools bus
mess seems 10 be larger than ever. The
embarrassment in the iron and steel
manufacturing and trade is now clearly
perceived to be the result of marked
shrinkage in demands for consumption.
Bar iron is very dull: the demand for
plates is very much smaller than was
expected and for sheets irregular and
unsatisfactory, while structural iron is
dull and lower. There is very little
doing in rails. Accounts from the
southern cities indicate only fair trade
At Cincinnati manufacturers are ac-
tive, especially In machinery. AT De-
troit iron is weak, but at Cleveland in
good demand, and at PittSburg there
is no especial change, though the glass
trade is rather dull. Chicago notes a
larger trade than year ago in nearly
everything except dressed beef, the
gains in hides and wool being especially
heavy. In dry goods and clothing sales
are increasing, with better collections.
Philadelphia reports a good de-
mand for combng wool, and en-
couragement in the dry goods and
shoe trades. The startling death
of Secretary Window caused
sudden fall in the price OF bar silver
from Az TO 46T in London, it is
stated in dispatches. But no change
whatever in the financial policy Of the
government is likely to result, although
ii may easily happen that successor,
however able, may not possess the Ter
tility of resources which Mr.. Window
has shown in meeting emergencies.
Business failures during the last seven
days number 800, with $50 last week
and 29l same week last year.
