HARD ON KANSAS CITY.
\ Bond Issue for Water Works
En.iOined.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 5.-Charles
Sooismith, of New York. today filed an
injunction writ in the United States
court TO restrain Kansas City
from issuing S2,0O0,OOO of bonds
to build new water works, and to
cancel any that may be sold. The bill
alleges that the complainant owns real
estate i'll the city of the value Of S25, 600,
and that his taxes will be largely and
illegally increased by the Issuance of
the bonds; that the city has no au-
thOrity to build waterWOrks or issue
bonds to pay for them; that the
city is bound by contract and
law to purchase works of the National
Water Works company, or renew its
contract with that company in 1893; that
the bonds Will be void because the ex-
tension of the limits of the city in 1885
was illegal, and that without that
extension the city never contained
a sufficient number of inhabitants
to authorize it to adopt its
present charter; that the ordinance for
the issuance of the bonds never passed
the council; that the amount of the
bonds is i'll excess of the amount the
city is legally authorized to issue; that
the system of WaterwOrks proposed TO
be built with the proceeds of the
bonds is impracticable, and will
cost not less than S3,50O.000.
The tbiIl gives notice of various de-
lenses against the validity of the bonds
that may result in their defeatit issued.
The suit has created great excitement
in city official circles, as it will cast
doubt upon the validity of the bonds if
issued and would defeat the claim of
innocent purchasers on the part of any
one into whose hands the bonds may

sPRlNGER,s HANDICAP.
Illinois Members Deserted Him
Early in the Game.

Early in the Game.
WAsHrNGToN, Dec. 5.-Mr. Springer's
candidacy was handicapped by the fact
that three men of his own state delega-
ton deserted him and went to Mr..
Mills on the first ballot. These
men are Messrs. Fithian, For
man and Lane, and they were
subseQuen tly Joined by Messrs. Wike,
Scott a nd Williams, who also deserted
their candidate and voted steadily for
Mr.. Mills in the long contest which fol-
lowed. During all this time, however.
Mr.. Springer was receiving constant
support from the Michigan dele
CATION and a portion of the In
diana and WiScOnin delegations,
and his loyal followers in Illinois for a
long time felt encouraged that this out
side support would ultimately rally the
deserving Illinois members to the solid
support of Mr.. Springer. The four Mis-
souri, men who so valiantly supported
Mr.. Hatch were Messrs. Byrnes. Cobb.
Dearmond and Tarsney. The first man
to shift from one of the leading
candidates to the other was Mr..
Krib5s. of Pennsylvania, who at
the request of Mr.. Mutchler. of the same
st0te, voted for Mr.. Mills. On a suisse
quent ballot, however, Mr.. Kribbs re-
turned to Mr.. CrlSp'S support. On the
ninth BALLOT Mr.. CAN'T, OF Ohio,
changed from Mr.. Springer to MIR.
Crisp, in order, as he said, to partially
offset the action of some of Mir.
Springer's Illinois supporters who had
deserted to Mr.. Mills.
1t was after 10 o'clock ere the tenth
ballot was concluded, and the members
began to get weary as ballot after bal
lot passed without showing mate
rial change. The caucus had now
been in session over. SIX hours. with no
prospect of adjournment, and mem
bers began to pair off for fifteen
minutes at time in order
to take hasty lunch at the restaurant
below. The incessant call of the roll
told YEARLY on Messrs. Blanchard and
Anderson, and alternate secretaries were
selected in the persons of Camlnettl, of
California, and Rusk, of Maryland.
During all this time constant pressure
was being eXerted by the various lead
ers to scatter the forces of Messrs.
Springer, McMillin and Hatch, but the
hardy followers of these gentle
men stood resoiute. Various mem
berS began to discuss the
advisability of choosing a candidate for
temporary speaker and postponing the
selection of permanent speaker until
Monday evening, but the proposition
failed to find general favor. because of
the fear of contest over the selection
of the temporary speaker.

(Florida). and Wediock Massachusetts,
had concluded to support Mr.. Springer.
while Mr.. GantZ. of Ohio, had returned
to his first choice. The secretary
drawled YEARLY through the fifteenth
ballot. and again the result showed no
subs antial change. Mr.. Springer S
seventeen votes on this ballot
showed an apparent gain of three
votes over the preceding ballot,
but Chairman Holman announced that
through an error in computation Mr..
Springer had been credited with four
teen votes in the previous ballot,
whereas the Illinois candidate actually
received seventeen votes. The record
of the fourteenth ballot was accord
ingly ordered to be corrected to show
this result.
After the seventeenth ballot, which
showed no change in the situation, the
clucuS, on motion of Mr.. O'Neill, of
Nj ssachusetts, adjourned till 10 O'Clock
NJ nday. The motion was carried unan-
imoIsly, those in favor of fighting it
being in a hopeless minority, and
Offering no opposition. The de
cisiOn to adjourn was the result
of prior understanding on the part of
all five candidates, who finally, being
unable to see whether there would be
vi 1Ot OC III
ing the caucus together, agreed to adj
jOurn and take the chances.
1t was the candidates understanding
that the caucus would adjourn to meet
Immediately after the formal opening
of the house for the first session of the
Fifty-second congress. The members,
however, showed a decided SEN
timent in favor of another attempt
to elect a speaker before the house
convenes. and. accordingly, voted
an amendment changing the time
of meeting of the caucus to 10 o'clock
Monday morning. The seventeenth and
last ballot stood: Crisp, "a; Mills, 81;
Springer, II; McMillin, 10; Hatch, 3;
Stevens. l. The members quickly dis
persed to seek much needed rest before
beginning the difficult task of breaking
the deadlock. for which a number of
gentlemen think themselves eminently
fitted.

DammOn claims he took his place

OFF ce at 8 o'clock the same day.
Just ahead of him and leading the line
were Chief of Police Higgins and Ser
geant Elliott. who made their filings,
which made delay in Dammon's filing
of twenty minutes. Subsequently the
land officers ruled out the pOlicemen'S
claims, on the ground that they took
places in the line ostensibly to keep or
der and not to file. The officers of the
land Office also find that Box located
upon the land in the interest of
wealthy land operator. Therefore they
find that Miss Sinclair has the last title
to the land. Her claim contains valu-
able pine land. worth about 5000.

CLEARING FOR ACTION.
An Open Ballot and Majority Rule
AdODted.


Adopted.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The first trou-
bic in caucus came with the question as
to how the voting should proceeG-by
secret or open ballot. The Ques-
tiiOn was referred to a COM
mittee on rules consisting of one
member named by each candidate. At
first all the members of the committee
except Mr.. Bynum favored secret bal
lot. MIR. Bynum said he would not
agree to secret ballot until he con-
suited Mr.. Mills, in whose interest he
was on the committee. On his return.
he started to enter a vigorous pro-
test against secret ballot,
when the other members said it
was matter on which they
did not care to insist, and that, sooner
than have any dispute over it, they
would recommend an open ballot, which
report was submitted to the caucus and
adopted. The roll call showed the
presence of all the Democratic members
except seven. The absentees included
tile five candidates and Messrs. Fyan.
of Missouri, who has a broken leg. and
Buchanan, of Virginia, who is sick.
AS stated by Chairman Holman, 227
representatives were present. major
ity of whom would be III. 1t was sug-
gested that a rule be adopted declaring
a twO-thirdS vote of the caucus essen
tial to nominate, but the suggestion
did not find favor, and was aban-
doned. 1t was then agreed that
nominations of candidates should be
made by name only, and the ballots
taken by viva voce vote, names being
called in the order of the roll. The
other rules of procedure adopted were
rs follows:
A majority of all the votes cast in the
caucus shall lie necessary to choice; nomi-
nations shall be made in the following order:
First speaker; second, clerk; third,
LeIgeant-atarms; fourth, doorkeeper;
fifth postmaster: sixth, chaplaini
Oh all questions other than nominations
speeches shall De limited to FIVE minutes;
the rules OF the fftieth congress, so far as
EPpncapie, shall govern the proceedings of

uon, and the various candidates were
placed in nomination. Mr.. Mills was
