KANSAS LEGISLATURE.

Democrats Iasait the Old Soldiers By
Attempting to Treat Their Petition With
Contempt
TOPEKA, KAs Jan. 2S.-There was a
very exciting discussion in the House OF
Representatives this morning. The
trouble was aroused by the presentation
Of a memorial from the Union soldierN
Of Topeka, asking that Senator Ingalls,
be returned to the United States Senate.
MI. Lupfer, Of Pawnee county, moved
that 1t be placed on the table. This
brought Sudge Webb to his feet, who
earnestly protested against such an
insult.
MI. Lupfer then changed his motion
aud moved that the memorial be re-
referred to the Committee on Agricul-
ture. After numerous other motions,
one was made to refer 1t to q special
committee OF old soldiers to be appointed
BY the chair. The discussion on the
motion, which occupied most all OF the
morning session, was very exciting, A
demand for the yeas and nays on the
motion was made. Every other member
insisted on explaining his vote and over
an hour was thus consumed d. Thirteen
Alliance members voted with the Repub-
licaus and the motion was loat.

scene Of the disastroug landslide OF 1889,

A SENSATIONAL INTERVIEW.

PARis, Jan. 2S.-The Steele to-day pub

the Chamberlain is quoted as saying that
Russians and Frenchmen have 60 many

sympathizs with France, and have a pro-

land and Germany, whose characters are
different. Russia, according to the
Chamberlain, can only reap advantage 9
from contact with the French, ard
hopes to develop her commercial and
industrial relations with France.

berlain, "had recently shown that her
wealth was greater than ever, and 1t was

were most closely connected by force Of |

Finances were most prosperous in Rus

military burdens without fear Of finan-
cial disaster, which was not the case with
several other powers. Every year armed
peace sees the success OF Russia and
France assured, and their union renders
war impossible and restrains Europe.
Therefore closer union is desirable.n
"a feeling Of great tension recently
existed between Germany and Russia.

German winter maueuvres on the Rus.
