KANSAS CURIOSITIES.
Several Peculiarities in the
BLEEDING" Commonwealth.

IL
BLEEDING Commonwealth.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 7.-Elec-
tons were held in Kansas to-day in all
cities of the first and second classes.
Although without general political sig
nificance the results of the cleo
ton ale regarded with considerable
interest for two reasons-frst, because
the Citizens Alliance has tickets in the
field and is fighting all the old parties.
The Citizens Alliance is practically
branch of the Farmers Alliance. 1t is
organized on the same basis aud has the
same objects in view. 1t is composed
of that element in the cities which
would Join the Farmers Alliance but
for the fact that the constitution
OF the latter organization will
admit none but farmers. This
mostly since the Farmers Alliance
landslide last fall, and this election is
its first opportunity for showing its
strength. Much interest is manifested
i'll the result on this account. The
other element in the election which at
tacheS interest to it is the fact that
women, under the laws of Kansas, are
allowed equal suffrage with men in mu-
nicipal elections. Returns from sew
erdl CUES SHOW UilaC the C1tlZeDS'
Alliance did not cut much of a figure in
the election, excepting where it in,
dOrsed the Democratic nominees. In
those places they were successful in
electing the Democratic nominees. Re-
turns from Leavenworth show that the
entire Republican ticket has been
elected. This is the first Republican
victory for six years in that vicinity.
At Lawrence the Republicans were
also Successful. They elected their
full ticket, with the exception
of two members of the council elected
by the Citizens alliance. AT Clay Cen
ter the Republicans defeated the Citi-
ZenS' Alliance. and at Wichita the Dem
ocrats carried everything. Atchison
elects Republican officers, and Olathe
mixed set of officers. with the Republi-
cans in control. AT Ottawa all the
parties combined against the Republi-
| cans, but the latter were successful.
Incomplete returns from nearly all
voting precincts of Kansas City give a
small plurality for Stout, Dem, for
mayor. Official returns may change

one of the hottest in recent years. There
were three tickets in the field, indie
pendent or Municipal Reform. the Re-
publican and Democratic. The INDIE

registered vote was pol!ed.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, April THE city
election to-day for eight aldermen re
suited in the election of four by each
party, which is substantially Demos

COUNTERFEIT CERTIFICATE.
1t Is Causing Considerable Trouble
at Washington.


WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE counter
felt 50 silver certificate heretofore de-
scribed in these dispatches is causing
considerable trouble at the treasury de-
partment. Not more than twenty of
these counterfeits have come into the
hands of treasury officials. The extent
OF their circulation, however, is not
known, as they cannot be readily de-
tected except by experts. The issue of
the regular 81 certificate has been
suspended. and arrangements are
being made for the issue of
substitute. The original bears the por-
trait of Gen. Hancock, and the substi-
tnte will have that of Secretary VIM
dom. While the old series has not been
called in, none of the notes of that
series coming into the treasury will be
reissued. The department is also con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of discontinue
ing the use of the distinctive paper on
which government notes and securities
are now printed. A commission has
been appointed to investigate the manu-
facture and use of the paper, and to re-
port whether the interests of the gov
eminent require any additional safe
guards in that respect. 1t is stated at
TIE department that this paper has
never yet been successfully initiated.
1t is felt, however, that no harm can
come from efforts intended to remove
all possible doubt on the subject.

Gen. Hawley Says They Should
Have Attention.
HARTFORD, Conn. April 7.-Senator
Joseph r. Hawley addressed the Hart
ford board of trade this morning on the
subject of The Weakness of our Coast
Defenses." Gen. Hawley criticised the
Indifference of the people in recent
years to the matter of adequate coast
defense. The recent complications with
Italy, he said, showed the rapidlty with
which trouble might come. Halifax,
less than two days sea journey from
Boston, is perpetual menace to Cur
unprotected coast. for England, in case
of war, would assemble her fleet there.
Gen. Hawley said the cost of adequate
defenses for the coast might be S125.-
100000, but this would be extended over
a term of years. No eXorbitant tax
would be necessitated by the appropria-
ton of this amount. and the investment
would prove wise in all respects.

Cook the smoke was pouring from the

practically confined to the third

largest number granted to ono man in a

WITH OLD CERTIFICATES.
How the Direct Tax Is Being Re-
funded the States.

New YORK, April IA Boston spe-
cial to the Evening Post says: The
government is remitting the money re-
funded to the states under the direct
tax refunding bill in old silver certif-
Gates. issued under the Bland seventy
two dollar act. The state of Names
S350,000 came here last night, and part
of it was offered in settlement of bal
ances at the clearing house and refused.
The banks have verbal understanding
not to use silver in the settlement of
balances, but the act of 1882 provides
that no banking association shall re-
fuse these certificates. Hence fears of
bringing the banks to a silver basis are
current. Massachusetts will receive
from 100000 to $500, 900 as it's part of
the refund in few days, and this bids
fair to complicate matters unless the
state treasury carries the money. The
matter has caused much discussion
among the banks. and the outcome is
watched with interest.
