spite of the eforts of the representa-

powers If the conflict continues President
Baimacada in reply has asked the ministers and
consuls to delay taking action for few days, as
he hopes TO be able 10 suppress the rebellion

SENATOR INGALLS, DEFEATED.
Kansas Elects Alfred Pfeffer, Editor of
a Farmers Alliance Paper.

TOPEKA, Jan. 27.-ISpecial. when the next
congress meets the seat OF Hon. John James
ingalls, will be occupied by Alfred Pfeffer, of the
Farmers Alliance, who in joint session of the
Kansas legislature tomorrow will be formally
declared elected United States senator The
predictions oil knowing ones that the Alliance
would be unable TO agree upon candidate, and
that failure to agree would disrupt the organiza-
tion. went wide of the mark. The
caucus was harmonious last night, and on
each ballot the name receiving the lowest
vote was dropped from the list until choice
was made. Rumors of detection in the vote
in the House today likewise proved unfounded.
The proceedings in both houses were OF an or
derry character In the House ffty-three peti-
tions from g. A. K. veterans throughout the
state for the reelection of ingalls, went over un-
der the rule.
The ballot resulted Householder 96. In
gals %, Blair D. Senate-Ingalls 80, Pfeffer p
Blair l. Congressman Morrill, /, Senator Kelly /.
When the result of the ballot was announced
the Alliance went wild and cheered for several
minutes.
Senator Ingalls,, in an interview this after
noon, said he had no plans for the future, except
that be knows he Will remain in Kansas.
THE NEW SENATOR.
William Alfred Pfeffer was born In Cumber
land county, Pa, in 1884, and is of Dutch parent
age. In 1850 he caught the gold fever and went
to California, where he remained two years He
made considerable money and returned 10 Penn
sylvanla and soon after removed TO Indiana
and later to Missouri. He served during the
war in the Eighty third Illinois Vol
pnteers. Al the close Of the war
practising law, and in 1870 moved to Kansas
taking up claim. At diierens times ne edited
various papers, served in the state senate and
was delegate 10 the national Republican con-
yention in 1850. In that year he moved to
Topeka assumed the editorial control OF the Kan
Farmer, and afterwards bought the paper He
hiss been engaged in the publication OF the paper
even since The paper has wide circulation
among Kansas farmers, and much influence
over them. He joined the Alliance movement a
year ago, and in the spring of last year began a
bitter, determined warfare against Ingalls, elec-
ton. IL 20 q year ago Pfeffer was a staunch
Republican, when he joined the Farmers ALI
ance.
He outlined his policy as senator to the AS
sOciated Press today. He said he favored alb
solu1e free coinage of silver and a conservative
expansion OF the currency. He was in favor
he said. OF protection to home industries but
believed the best protection did not always re-
suit from high tariff. Protection by tariff as a
general principle, he said, was wrong. High
tariff should be called in TO aid individual
struggling industries He now favored au aver
age sd yalorem duty of 20 per cent. He was
opposed TO the force bill.
