A REPUBLIC IN DANGER.
The French Government Shaken to the
Foundation by the Late Expose

Foundation by the Late Expose,
PARIS, December A.-Vhe scandals
growing out of the recent discoveries of
fraud in the Panama canal deals which
involves numerous government officials,
threatens the life Of the French republic.
There has been rumor that the officials
and deputies as we'll as the civilians con-
nected with the Panama scandal have
had il intimated to them that their sal
walton lies in an espoussl Of royalist
schemes, and that their offense will be
coDdoned il they will consent to betrsy
the republicans.
According to the statements issued by
the liquidstors, the amount expended by
the Panama canal company reached the
enormous total of S26OOOO,OOO. OF the
whole amount expended only slittle over
third was spent in the actual con-
struction of the canal. The rest was
stolen. AS result FIVE deputies and FIVE
senators are to be prosecuted. Among
the ten, FIVE Of them have held promi-
nent positions. They are M Rouvier, M.
Roche, M. Geves, M. Thevenet and M.
Proust, all formerly ministers, M. Albert
Grevy, brother Of the former president,
and who was governor general of Algeria;
M. Leon Renault, who was prefect of
police, and M. Beral, who was inspector
general Of mines. Madame Gotta, wife
of the Panama canal director, has come
back to surrender herself prisoner, She
says to her friends 1--WE will be prose-
cuted, but everything will turn out well
for US. Should the trial take place, NJ.
Csrnot will not be president longer than
two months"
M. Andrieux is regarded as the man.
sger Of the plot against the republic.
HIS statement to the Panama commits
sion Thursday is declared to have been
the first unmasking of the hidden bat
teries Of the plotters, which everybody
has dreaded. OF course nobody believes
that Audrieux is alone in the business.
The whole Boulsngist or revisionist party
is at its back, hence the alarm which the
vindictive utterances of the ex-deputy
and prefect has caused.
NJ. Andrieux was asked last night !
what great reputation he would next
strike down with the revelations that he
has collected. II cannot speak Of my
plans" he replied, "beyond saying that
what have 30 far announced is but an
insignificant part Of my complete design.

TO the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.
At the conference Of industrial forces
held in st. Louis, the women represented
the homemakerS, those who most deeply
feel the injustice Of laws which allow
homes to be devastated, and bravely de-
manded to be allowed to assist at the
ballot box in repeating these oppressive
laws.
After due consideration the majority
thought it best to keep "the lighted can
die under the bushel."
Feeling the great necessity Of speedy
and harmonious action and before We
could remove the prejudlces and teach
the brethren Of the nation the justice Of
our demands few Of Us would have homes
to protect.
After consulting many, think / ex-
press the opinion Of the women Of the
Farmers alliance Of Kansas when / say
that nationally We are willing to lay the
equal suffrage plank as q sacrifice upon
the altar Of reform for q time.
But we have not this Ignorance OF
prejudice to overcome in Kansas and

who are to carry our banner through the
coming fierce campaign, for the sake Of

10 inc EulbOF Ol 1hE ADNOOATMs
The following in the Western Kansas
World of March 10Th, and copied from
the Eldorado Republican, Senator Muir
docks paper, Is going the rounds Of the
Republican press of Kansas. It Is given
wide circulation by reason Of being print
ed on the patent side, furnished by the
Kansas Newspaper Union, Topeka to the
county Republican papers throughout
the state.
At the late session of the Legislature the
Republican Senate passed bill which pro-
vided that all railways and other corporated
property should be assessed at it's true value
in money; BUT IT WAS KILLED IN THE HOUSE.
The idea was to have all railways and other
property assessed at its value upon q fair
and equal basis; and further provision
prevented municipalities from going into
debt beyond per cent. of their assessed
value, deduCting present indebtedness; BUT
THE WHOLE MATTER DIED IN THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES.
Now want to call the attention Of the
people of Kansas to the following facts:
First-No such bill was ever even in
troduced into the Senate.
Second-The Republican is careful
not to try to give the number Of bill, date
of passage or page of journal.
ThIrd-Senstor Murdock knew, or
ought to have known, that the bills re-
ferred to originated In the House.
Fourth-The two propositions are en-
braced in separate House bills, as fol-
lows: House bill No. 71S, by Mr.. Scott.
San act to compel railroad and other as
SCISSORS to assess railroad and other prop
erty at it's true value in money, and pro-
viding penalty for violation thereof"
This bill passed the House March 9TH,
1891, by vote of 80 to 8. See House
journal, page 896. Sent to the Senate
same day, see Senate journal, page 609,
and referred to committee on assessment
and taxation Hardness chairman) and
reported by him for reference to the COM
mittee Of the whole, March 9th. See
Senate journal, page SOC, and here the
bill died.
AS cannot conceive Of the Senator be-
ing 80 ignorant as to what took place in
the Senate, I must assume that he pub
lished the above falsehood for the pur-
pose of misleading the voters Of Kansas.
He says further, that the provision In
regard to municipal indebtedness was
contained In the bill This is false
In every particular. The provision he
referred to Is contained only In House
bill No. 145, by Mr.. Smith, Of NeOshO, as
follows: "An act limiting the power Of
counties, townships and cities, to borrow
money to create indebtedness. Section
Of this bill Is as follows: "No indebted

bodies witnessed the parade, and were
highly pleased. DR.. Blalock said to the
Posr-INTELLIGENcER correspondent: "You
can't put it too strong; it is one of the
finest aggregations of horsehesh I ever
saw, and the state cannot beat it." His
remarks were warmly Endorsed by nearly
every member of the commission. The
display, however, was not so good as last
year, as about six of the finest stations,
belonging to HALEY. were not in the
parade today.

mast was still standing, with fragment
OF torn sail attached and Tapping in the
breeze. To the surprise of the Auchen-
cairns crew, two men were sighted on the
beach signalling the ship. A little further
on and back from the shore number of
tents were seen. One of the ships boats
put out for shore and was met on the
beach by two men. whom the crew sup
posed to be castawavs. One of them stated
that he was captain of the port of Good
Success. on the straits, and that they were
engaged in securing the cargo of the
Crown of Italy. He also stated that the
captain, officers and crew of the wrecked
ship had landed in safety. The officers of
the Auchencairn are of the opinion that
the people they saw further inland stand
ing around the tents were a part of the
crew. but they failed to learn whether it
was SO or not.

THE CHINESE QUESTION.
minister Tsui Kwo Yin Complains of the
Treatment of His Countrymen.

WASHINGTON CITY, March 21-Tsui Kwo
Yin, the Chinese minister, has prepared
letter to the secretory of state, urging an
early response to the various communica-
tons that the Chinese government has
sent to this government in reference to
, restrictions of Chinese immigration. The
Mar tonight prints an interview with the
minister, in which he says:
For several years have been endeavoring to
secure better treatment for my people at the
hands of the United states. II the United
etates wishes 10 put stop TO Chinese immigra-
uon II should be done by means of a treaty with
ny country. For the United States to agree 10 a
Treaty providing for the admission OF Chinese,
ana then override it by an act
Of congress, is hardly acting in
encourage immigration and insure fair treat
ment Of all alike, and yet your treatmsnt OF the
chinese is inconsistent with the constitution
andprinciples laid down by George Washington.
II the United States puts further restrictions
On Chinese immigration, would China exclude
Americans from her territory
The minister's answer was q long time
coming, and was diplomatic one:
1t seems to me that the Americans should
consider the situation and Withdraw from
China OF their own free will. I will answer
your question by asking you one Let us sup
pose that the American minister in London
should say to the Chinese minister: You keen
away from the American legation house; don't
want you here. Do you thisk tho Chinese
minister would visit the American legation
any more. and do you think the American min
kier would expect a welcome at the Chinese
legation? You may draw your own inference
The American people are talking great deal
about reciprocity just now. They should re.
member that reciprocity acts two ways.
