TOPEKA, KAN, Dec. 26-The Capital
will tomorrow announce tine candidacy OF
j. X. Hudson for the senatorship in case
Mr.. George r. Peck will state at confer
ence of candidates that he will not be a
candidate
As MIR. Peck stated this morning that he
would not be candidate under any con-
sideration, Major Hudson will undoubted-
ly endeavor to secure the appointment
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. - Information
reaches here from Kansas that the name
of eX Congressman Bishop w. Perkins is
being seriously considered by Governor
Humphrey for the senatorial vacancy. Mr..
Perkins is in Washington, and all he
knows is that many of his friends in Kan
sas have telegraphed him their intention
to present his name to the governor.
Eight years in congress have given him a
wide acquaintance with the ways Of doing
government business. Nearly twenty five
years residence in Kansas has made him
familiar with the affairs and needs of his
state. Like Senator Plumb, Mr. Perkins
was originally from Ohio He served four
years in the war, rising from n sergeant III
be Eighty-third Illinois to captalncy.
In Kansas he filled the offices of county at
torDey, probate judge, and for a lmost ten
years sat as judge on the bench OF the
Eleventh judicial district. Mr.. Perkins
was strong mem Der in the house. Dur
ing his last term he was chairman or the
committee on Indian affairs.
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec 26.-B. +. Simpson
has Withdrawn from the race for the sena-
torial appointment. He Will announce the
fact in an interview which will appear in
the Capital tomorrow. He says that the
appointment is only for one year, and that
the man who gets it Will be the most thor
oughly hated man in the state, on account
of the great number of candidates and the
bitterness of the contest.
Frank Flenniken, Senator Plumb's pri-
vate secretary, is being urged for the APP
Dointment by the late senator's friends.
They urge that he is familiar with all the
needs of The state and the requirements Of
the constituents, as well as with all the
plans of the late senator, whose private
secretary he was for ten years.
The contest for appointment to the va
cant seat in the senate has caused much
bitterness among the various candidates.
This bitterness may result in the choice of
IA compromise candidate Such candi-
date the State Journal proposes in the per-
son of Charles S. Gleed, whom that paper
booms for the place. IL urges his appoint

BERLIN. Dec. 26.-On Christmas eve the
emperor and empress presided at a distri-
button of presents at the new palace at
POttsdam Each little princess had his
own table and tree loaded with a variety
OF gifts. Yesterday Emperor William sent
TO his own company of the guards large
pepper cake made by the court cOnfec-
tiOneer. This pepper cake, the disuse of
which has long been desired by many, con-
t;nueS to be one of the solid institutions of
the season.
The Galician papers are filled with
articles advocating the renewed enforce
ment of the repressive measures against
the Jews in Russian Poland. A large
number of persons have been arrested in
Warsaw and in the immediate vicinity.
The people suddenly disappeared and it is
understood that they have been arrested.
The epidemic of influenza still prevails
in Galcia, eastern Prussia and Berlin.
The address recently delivered by Professor
Nothnagel upon the origin and treatment
OF the disease is the talk of the hour
among medical men. Professor Moth
nageI, in the address, declared that the
malady Is distinctly miasmatic in charac-
ter; that it Is certainly infectious and
probably contagious He also said that
persons having cardiac affections and
those suffering from tuber culOsis have
cause to fear Il fatal result.
When the reichstag resumes its sitting
the bill Tor the repression of drunkenness,
the bourse regulation measure introduced
in consequence of the recent scandals, aud
the discussion of the commercial treaties
with Switzerland, Servia. Spain and ROu-
mania, will be the work of the house. The

idency of that group, but he will still lead

bers who have subscribed a sum of money
Tor the purpose of founding a Conserva-
tive o gan for the defense Of Won Caprivi's
policy. The Socialist leaders, being con
scious of falling off in the number of
their adhereuts, have made arrangements

effect that Count Won Schoivalof, Russian
EN- bass ldor to Germany, 5 to be trans
ferred to Moscow, as successor to Grand
Duke Sergus, brother of the cZar, as
governor general. The car has given

as certain that the grand duke will not re-
turn to his post at the expiration of that
period. In fact, 1t is more likely that he
Will be sent out of Russia, or be placed
under Surveillance at some post in central
Russia. The grand duke, it is alleged, has
been tampering with the allegiance Of Off
GERS high IN command at Moscow, War
saw, Wilma, and other military centers.
Count Won Schouvaloff, upon whose fdel-
ity the cZar relies, has been ordered to
proceed to Gatschina at once.
LONDON, Dec. 26.-Contradictory stories
have been received here regarding Grand
Duke Sergius, brot ler of the czar, who
last spring was appointed governor of
Moscow. At the beginning of the present
month it was said that the grand duke
was making himself very unpopular by
has efforts to suppress fraudulent practices
growing out Of the corruption for which
the Russian official world is notorious.
One scandal in which the grand duke is

sent to Orla, to a branch of the Red Cross
society, for relief purposes among the
sufferers IN the famine-sJricken provinces.
The cZarina is the chief patroness of this
branch of the Red Cross society.
The grand duke recently gave from his
purse 4, 0J0 rubles for the sufferers; but the
fact that he interfered with the stealing
OF famine money caused him to become
unpopular with certain wealthy and in
tluential class, who are doing their utmost

taking advantage of the authority con-
ferred upon him by the czar and with
playing the part of a tyraut. So deter
mined are they to have his power abridged
that they have prepared and forwarded to
the czar petition praying for his removal
from the office of governor of Moscow.
Advices received today state that the czar
suspects his brother of nursing ambi-
tious designs" " though the nature of these
designs is not stated 1t is added that the
car is so impressed by the array of evi-
dence presented to him against the grand
duke that 1t is his intention to send him

GILLIAN WAR RUMoRS DENIED.

WASHINGTON, Dec 26-The statements
telegraphed from Washington of late in
regard to the alleged mobilization of Il
fleet of merchant vessels to act as trans
ports have only caused amusement in the
higher circles of the navy department: but,
in view OF certain dispatches from Cali
fornia, which seemed in measure to sub
stantiate these reports, Secretary Tracy
has deemed it advisable to make an au-
lucrative denial. This declaration was
made last night by Assistant Secretary
Soley. Equally haseless is the statement
that the United States government is ar
ranging to charter certain merchant yes
sells for transports and other purposes.
There is not a single vessel of the United
States under orders for Chilian waters.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-This is the day
on which Senor Jorge MOntt will be inau-
guarated as president of Chill, but, as far a.
can be learned, no news OF tie event has yet
been received from Minister Egan. There
can be no doubt of the desire of the officers
of the state and navy department to allay
any apprehensiOns of war between the
United States and Chill that may have
been caused by alarming newspaper publi
cations. Secretary Tracy this morning
said: ''The talk OF war is all in the news
papers"

charge of conspiracy to defraud the gov

show who the real culprits were when the
case came to trial, iutimating that he
would summon several cabinet mir listers
and members of parliament to prove that
all money he received from harbor works
contractors went into the Tory campaign
fund and that some of the ministers who
are now prosecuting McGreevy profited by
his relations with the contractors and
handled portion of the money, which he
says, WAS obtained with their full know
ledge that it was to be used for political
purposes.

doro's abnegation and patriotism, in spon-
taneOusly resigning the presidency, in or
der to avoid strife between brethren, the
shedding of Brazilian blood and a collision
between his comrades in arms. The print

stroyed today by "A mob This is the only

FRANCE AND THE POPE

ROME, Dec 26.-The Diario today says
that it is the intention of the pope to con-
fer the grand order of the Cross of Christ
upon the archbishop of AK, as a token of
the sympathy of his holiness with the arch
bishop in the latter's recent trial con-
viction and fine for writing letter cassed
as insulting to Mr.. Fallieries, the French
minister of public worship. Should the
Diario's information prove correct, it
means that this is the pope's defiance to
the French government, and that a serious
outcome may be anticipated in the near
future
