tatives Creates an Excitement.
TOPEKA (Kans.), Marchi 10. - The State
Legislature to-day closed consideration Of

appropriation bills. The work of the ses-
sion has been distinct disappointment to
the Farmers Alliance They came to To-
peka intending to institute all sorts of re-
forms and return without having accom-
plshed any of the radical ones.
There was a scene of great ex-
element in the House tonight. The
committee reports on the investiga-
ton of the State-house Commission
ers not being ready, Speaker Elder, who
had taken the floor, moved that the commit
tee be allowed TO sit after the adjournment
of the Legislature. Douglass (Rep) COM
planned that the persons under investiga-
ton had not been allowed to be present at the
committee sittngs, either in person or by at
torney. He and other Republicans denounced
the committee and the Farmers Alliance.
Elder became exceedingly angry, and said
the Alliance was running the House, and
the Republicans must submit, whether right
or wrong. When the galleries Kissed the
Alliance men cheered and the Republicans
groaned. The Sergeantat-Arms and door
keeper attempted to clear the galleries, and
several lively encounters took place. A
general fight became imminent, but finally
Elder resumed the chair, said he was
ashamed OF his remarks and appealed to
all present to maintain order. Quiet was
then restored, and Elders motion was
adopted.

Edmonds as passengers for the round trip
She was expected back that night. but did
not appear, and her non-arrival and the
washing ashore of Il quantity of vegetables
gave rise to the belief that she had been lost
in the gale which blew on Sunday night,
when those who were working on the Great
Northern Railroad brought the report to the
city and the vessel was given up as lost. 1t
she put back to Appletree Cove and did not
