Rrnihanthal,s Arrest.

The arrest of Chairman Breidentbal
by the county attorney on a charge OF
the State banking law Will
cause great sensation In Kansas
where somehow or other the impression
has become prevalent that a man In
order to head great reform must have
clean garments himself.
Whatever MIR. Breidenthans inten
tions may have been in the use OF the
certificates 1t will scarcely avail In a
construction Of the law. II the receipt
Of money with the issuing OF certlh
Gates of deposit Is banking II clearly
brings the company within the provi'
sions Of the banking law. III the
depositors we're only colonists and theli
friends and the certificates were only
used to send money to the farawa,
western coast Of Mexico, there can b'
no serious fault In the action.
Mr.. Credentials friends are quicl
to declare the move a political on
while In fact politics has nothing to d.
with 1t. II there be any politics In
the fact that alliance county attorney
| Is. Q. Cranston, assisted by John II
Mahan, is conducting the prosecutio
would clearly bring it within the rank
Of the party Of Mr.. Breidenthal.
But there ia nothing Of the kind In 1
The banking law Of Kansas Is one
the best on our statute books and 1t
right that every possible care should
taken to compel close enforcement
Of its provisions. County Attorn'
Cranston Is doing right In seeing tn
every case in which doubt exists

Should j. II. Burton he elected to
Congress this fail, and he will be, he
will enter that body the best equipped
man on the start that ever j0urneyed
from Kansas to Washington. Others
have developed Into great men after
reaching there, and taken high place in
the affairs Of the nation. But he is
admirably fitted for the position right
now. lie has more genuine enthusiasm
than ever marked Kansas man on
entry into that body. lie has more
laudable ambition, because more of his
life stretches far into the alluring future
than blessed any OF them. His ability
as a speaker far outstrips that which
was given to any Of them, and the age
of eloquence is again to be duplicated
within his term Of service in Congress ,.
Men at once recognize him a. leader
and good naturally follow his lead in
public matters. Thus 1t Is, and fol
many other reasons, IN approaches
Congress the best equipped man on
entry that ever went from Kansas. -

Frightful Railroad Wreck Occurs Near

Erightful Railroad Wreck Occurs Near
Ottumwa.
OTTUMwA, Ia, Nov. 10.-A fearful
catastrophe occurred on the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul road at Highland
Center, small station on that road
north Of this city. A fast freight
crashed into the caboose of a local
freight standing on the track, telescop-
ing the caboose and four cars.
The caboose caught fire and the scene
which followed was heartrending. Four
people were burned alive and number
Of others had narrow escapes. The
caboose was split in two by car of grain,
wedging in four people on the right side.
A most pitiful sight was Miss Lizzie
Butler, Of this city, who got her head
out Of the window and piteously pleaded
with those about to save her. Her body
was pinioned by freight car and twas
impossible to extricate her.
Mrs. Jones, also of this city, tried to
escape through the window, but being
an unusually large woman, she could
not get through.
The other victims are an unknown
woman and an unknown man. The
latter is thought to be butcher at
Oskaloosa.
The injured are: Mrs. Clyde Milli-
sack, Mrs. Pickett, Of this city, and Miss
Lizzie Cory. These were badly burned,
but not seriously.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. n.-At 2 a. m
the strike was declared off. It is agreed;
First-That the laborers who went out
on strike on Oct. 20, 1892, shall be taken
back to their employment as soon as they
offer their Eervices, in so far as it does not
-oon6ict with contracts already made.
Second-Wages and hours to be arbi-
trated.
Third-It is further agreed that the
merchants, boss draymen and other en-
pleyers, obligate themselves not to make
any unjust discrimination against union
men, but always give their applications
for employment fairest consideration;
the merchants and other employers re-
serving to themselves the right to deal
directly with their men.
The parties to this agreement declare
that they will use their best endeavors
to adjust any differences which may re-
suit or may have resulted, or may re-
suit from any strike made from sympa-
thy with the strike herein above referred
to in accordance with the above terms.

FlFTY-TAIRD CONGRESS.

Status of the Different Parties in That
Body Not Yet Definitely Known.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1U.-More than
forty-eight hours after the polls closed
it is still impossible to give the status of
the several parties in the Fifty-third
congress officially. The developments
of the day tend to confirm the statement
made originally in the United Press dis
patches that the balance OF power in the
next senate will be held by the third
party, although by narrow margin.
The Democrats will gain senators in
New York, Wisconsin, Wyoming and
California, giving them 49, Republi-
cans will return a successor to Sen
ator Paddock from Nebraska and
also Senator Perkins from Kan
sas, although the legislature in
this state is still claimed by
the Farmers Alliance. The legislatures
of Minnesota and Michigan have Re-
publican majorities. The Republican
strength in the senate is thus reduced to
42, leaving to Senators PETER, Kyle and
Stewart (who will succeed himself from
Nevadab the power to control the SEN
ate with alliance with either party.
The chances are they will operate with
the Democrats in this matter. Up to
midnight the result in congressional
districts in New Hampshire, Ohio,
Michigan, Kansas and California was
unsettled, the figures not having been
fully reported. The probable complex
ion of the house, however, will be 221
Democrats, 1876 Republicans and Pop
uljsts

BREAKS OUT AGAIN
PEACE AND QUIET AT HOMESTEAD
ESOkEN BY RIOT.

Non-Unioa Negroes on One Side and
strikers on the Other Eaye Clash.
Revolvers and HALVES Used at Close
Quarters, but No One Is KILLED.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Nov. 14.-The period
of comparative quiet which has pre-
vailed in Homestead since the militia
left, died out Sunday and the pent up
feelings of the strikers broke out afresh
in riot in which at least fifty shots
were fired, at which no one was killed
although score were hit by flying bull
let's. A party of colored non-union
men were OH their way to their board,
ing house about 4:45 p. m., when man,
supposed to be striker, attacked two
of the negroes. Charles Carroll and
Fred Lewis Were knocked down. This
was signal for large crowd to gather
at the scene of the trouble. Lewis
friends came to his rescue and terrible
riot took place between the colored men
on one side and the crowd, supposed
to be all strikers, on tho
other. The two sides fought
desperately and flashed revolvers
and slashed each other with knives at
close quarters for several minutes, when
the negroes made dash through the
crowd for their boarding house. They
were followed by the bowling, blood
thirsty crowd, which by this time num-
bered at least 2,OOO, including many
women and children. The crowd fired
and threw stones at the fleeing negroes
and they in turn returned the fire on
the crowd and how SO many escaped
instant death is miracle. At least two
dozen people were injured by flying
missiles, but as far as can be learned
none were killed. The seven negroes
and number of strikers have been ar
rested. The greatest excitement pre-
walls here and more deputies have been
asked for.
