BLAINE.
There Remains Little Hope of
His Recovery.
Tho Family Still Cling to Hope, But
Friends and the Doctors Realize
That Death May Come at Any
Time.

One of Blaine's intimate friends said that
he entertained no hope whatever, nor did the
doctors. The family, he said, are reluctant
to give up hope, but at the same time they
realize death rsight come at any time. Some
intimate friends of Mr.. Blaine, he said, have
known for week past that Mr.. Blaine was
in a critical condition and that the end
might be expected seen. He said that even
his family has been forced to expect the
worst, and that it is for this reason a day or
two ago that the absent members were
communicated with.
DE-. Hyatt, consulting physician, who was
present, concurred in the statement They
had just came from the sick room, where
they held fifteen minutes consultation.

A friend of the family stated that Mr..

worst.

It is said that every movement of the count
OF Paris, the duke of Orleans and other
members of the exlled house have been re-
ported accurately for more than two weeks
past to President Carnot.
According to the statements issued BY the
llquidators the amount expended by the

nous total of $3.50 000. 900. Of the whole
amount expended only little over third
was spent in the actual construction of the

The danger of a tragedy is not in the fsct
that legislators are convicted of corruption
but in the fact that people are saying: '.They

sound throughout France, the accused men

Before the Supreme Court

Before the Supreme Court.
ToPEKA, December 22-Yesterday w. G.
Webb fled papers in the supreme court to
carry out the plans adopted by the peoples
party managers. They ask that five repub-
licans who were elected to the house of rep
resentatives be called upon. to show by what
right they hold certificates of election.
Webb also asks restraining order, for
bidding the five mem ers elect to take their
seats in the legislature and participate in its
organization and business, pending the hear
ing of the matter by the court.
The five cases include the two from Holton
and Nickerson, which cities were not de-
scribed il the boundaries of the representa-
tive districts in which they are located by
the legislative apportionment act passed by
the last legislature.
Another case is the Coffey county tie,
which was decided by lot the contention in
this case being that the law which requires
tie votes to be decided by lot by the state
board of canvassers Is not In accord with the
constitution of the state.
The other two cases are said to be such as
might be contested in the leglslature on the
ground of fraudulent votes at the election.
1t is believed that the supreme court will
not comply with the wishes of the partisans
who desire delay in action upon their mo-
tons, but will act speedily, throwing the
whole matter out of court.

Another Fair Building.

TOPEKA, December 21.-According to an
authentic source there is a movement on
foot among the leading peoples party men
of the state which. it is hoped, will culmi-
nate in the erection of special building
and the establishment of headquarters for
the populists of the nation in the worlds
fair grounds in Chicago.
Speaking of the matter, one of the prolec-
tors said the proposition had been launched
at a meeting of populist leaders in Topeka,
some two weeks ago, and had met with such
favor that q committee of three had been in
vited to see what could be done in this direc-
ton. This committee, it seems, has since
carried on an extensive cocpespondence on
the subject and has everywhere met with en-
enlargement from enthusiastic ''reformers"
all over tho country, SO much 70 that an
architect has been invited to draw up plans
of kind of club house.
1t was not intended by the projectors to
make this strange political move public I'M
til after the Inauguration of the populist
governor, but as soon as that event is over
it seems they propose boarding the directors
of the worlds fair with their novel PROPOSE
ton, ana will ask for site for their building.

Springer's Idea Explained.


WASHINGTON, D. c., December N.-'Ths
electoral college as it now stands is a miser-
able fraud" said Representative Springer.
sand the idea that all of the votes in the
electoral college from great state like New
York should go to one party by a matter of
100 or 200 votes is great fraud upon the
electors of the country. Some of the news
papers misapprehend the proposition which
l submitted on the subject. The popular
vote contemplated is confined to each state.
The states will have the same number of
electoral votes that they now have in the
election of president and vice president.
There will be no persons running as can6l-
dates for electors, but the electoral vote of
each state will be apportioned among the
several candidates according 70 the number
of popular votes each receives in that state,
the odd votes going to the candidates having
the large fractions. This will prevent the
vicious practices of gerrymandering and
gives exact weight to the popular vote which
each candidate receives in the state. It will
nationalize the presidential election and
render contests for the succession next to
impossible. Politically it would give effect
to tbs popular will, Limited only by the just
representation which each state is entitled
to in the electoral college. and would not
spread large majorities in one locality be-
yond the limits of the state. Besides, it
would make vote buying Intellectual and

Ouapaws Protesting.

vigorous protest has been signed and for
warded to Washington by the chief and
councillors and a majority of the Quapaw
tribe of Indians against the passage of SEN
ate bill 5000, which passed the senate last
Monday.
This bill provides for the allotment of the
Quapaw lands, giving them 200 acres per
capita, with the privilege of selling forty
acres to whoever they please and the surplus
lands to the highest bidder. Also for thu
establishment of TOWNSHIP (Cayuga) on
lands belonging to the tribe.
The Indians are all anxious to have their
land allotted, but do not want this bill in its
present shape, as it Is entirely in the interest

are to receive the extra forty acres of land
from each member of the tribe and a large

The Treaty Must be Changed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 22.-There
has been a very important conference on
the Cherokee strip bill. 1t was between
Chairmen Peel and Holman, Delegate Har-
vey and two members of the committee on
appropriations. The matter was arranged
by Chairman Peel, hoping to be able to, in
some way, make peace with the committee
on appropriations and with Holman, espe-
cially.
They spent nearly an hour over the matter
and at last Holman agreed to not fight the
bull if it was SO amended that NO appropria-
ton would have to be made. In his judg-
ment it could be avoided by paying the In
dams for the land with the money that was
turned into the land offices by the settlers
who locate on the lands. Holman finally
agreed that he had no objection to opening
the lands if paid for in this way. He was
very obstinate however, towards any other
plan. If it could be 80 arranged that no
money would have to be appropriated he
would use his influence on the members of
the committee on appropriations, if neces-
sary, but he was inclined to think that an un-
Outstanding of the plan would be all that
was necessary.
garded as such. is about as far as Chairman
Feel hopes to get, at least for some time. 1t
was agreed to make an effort to fight it out
on this line. Delegate Harvey will intro
duce a bill to open the lands to settlement
and pa the Indians on the Holman plan.
In all other respects the new bill will con-
form strictly with the treaty. This of itself
is vsry radical change from the treaty,
and, of course, if passed by congress, will
have to be accepted by the Cherokees before
it becomes law. This will cause some de-
lay, and should there be strong sentiment
against the Holman plan among the Chero-
KEGS, the whole affair may topple over. It
is certain, however, that the plan agreed
upon will be followed through the house,
and in ali probability will be run through
the senate IN a different form and be patched
up in conference for presentation to the
Cherokees.

The tribe consists of about 800, of whom
200 are warriors. Two companies of United

dered from Fort Wingate to suppyrt tho
marshal, and as the Indians are furnishing
up their guns and pistols, trouble is likely.

In the Haskell county case the court Is
sued an alternative writ commanding the
state board of canvassers to convene on

and show the reason why.
In the other cases the parties in contest
are notified to appear on the first day of the

why writs should be issued.
It is understood th,t the board of canvass
ers will not meet December 30, but will ap-

the case.
