Lee Meriwether's Rough Experience.
Says dispatch from New York city:
Mr.. Lee Meriwether little more than year
ago. when labor commissioner Of Missouri. was
directed by the legislature TO collect statistics
rs to convict labor in foreign prisons. After his
term of Office expired he went abroad with the
intention of learning by observation something
about the treatment of foreign convicts- When
Mr. Meriwether arrived at Smyrna on the
Egyptian steamship he intended to tranship at
once to the Austrian Lloyd steamer Minerva
for Jaffa. He was out of money. and started
ashore to draw on his letter of credit. The GUS
toms house officials refused. however. TO recog-
nize his American passport because it lacked the
signature Of the Turkish consul. and attempted
TO fine him for trying to enter the country with
out the proper papers. and when he refused to
bribe them because he had no money, they threw
him into prison, and kept him there in room
thirteen feet square. with thirty one criminals,
for many hours. They released him only upon
becoming convinced that he had no money. Mr..
Meriwether will go to Washington to lay the
case before the state department.

FRANCE AWAKENED:

News OF the Exposition Il Now Sought by
Leading Newspapers. "
The most noticeable aspect of exposi-
ton work abroad just now is the won
derful awakening in France to the mag
nltude and assured success of the enter
prise. How interest in France might be
stimulated has. long been a subject of
much consideration by the officials and
committees having in charge the for
eign promotion. About six weeks ago
there was joint session of the foreign,
exhibition and press md printing COM
mittees together with President Baker
and Director General Davis ON tliis sub
1ect. At thatimeeting Chief Handy was
empowered to pay special attention,
with large discretion to the work in
France. The result was the adoption
of the pfan which,withoutt the payment
of subsidies has resulted in wonder
full increase of interest on the part of
the French press and public and a
strong reflex, influence on the, French
government, which, however, has al
ways been favorably disposed During
the month of January the number of
paragraphs about the exposition in
French newspapers only exceeded very
slightly three hundred, whereas in Feb
ruary the mum Der arose to about twelve
hundred, with aigood many returns yet
to come in .f''~s'. 3. q Z > ; '.ts
Chief Handy has now list ,of. one
hundred and seventy French newspa-
pers which during the last month edito-
rally announced that the success of the
exposition was no longer matter of
conjecture. and urged upon all con
eerncd the Importance of moving if
France, Is not to be outstriPped in the
race of nations in the mattcrof eNhib-
it's. These papers comprise the leading
representatives of French journalism
and the bundle of clippings contuining
their uttcranccs is perhaps one of the
most remarkable and extensive cxhibi-
tions of quiclllv-obt;lincd publicity on
record. In addition, all of the illus
tratcd journals of Paris have taken hold
of the subject! and two Of them have
published doublc-paTc Illustrations OF
the grounds and buildings. On the
whole, the situation in France in'rcfcr.
cncc to the exposition may be said to
have completely changed in one month
for the better. q s3 ?

THREE CoNGREssMEN SURE.
Special to THE REFLECTOR.
TOPEKA, Nov. 10, 1890 p. m.-The
official count will probably be neces.
sary to determine the result on the
State ticket unless 1t may be Bruce,
candidate for auditor, who is defeated.
The Republicans have elected four
Congressman, Broderick, Funston,
Curtis and Anthony. Simpson prob.
ably receive 900 majority; Baker,
1000; Hudson. 1900; and Davis less
than l 900. Broderick had over 5000.
Many errors have already been dis
covered in the. returns made which
when corrected will favor the Republi.
can State ticket.
The incomplete returns show that
the Legislature will be Republican on
a joint ballot by a small majority. The
Senate lacks six of being Republican to
which may be added two or three
known Republicans. The prospects
are however that the House will be
Republican and the Senate Populist.
There are 26 Legislative and Sena-
torial districts to hear from.
The Republican electoral ticket il
elected beyond a doubt-a consolation
that does not at this time appear very
consoling. Reports now coming in
indicate Republican gains in Legisla-
tive districts and indicate that Legisla.
ture is surely safe on joint ballot.

1T WAS PITIFUL.

licaIi.

The Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. R.
Grubbs Killed By the Cars.
Lena, the little daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Grubbs, living near Sand
Springs, was killed by the Union Pacific
westbound passenger train yesterday
afternoon. She was returning from
school at the Sand Springs school house
and in crossing the railway track her
foot caught in the rail or ties in some
way and held her fast until the train
laundering along bore down upon her
crushing the tender little form into a
broken mass. She lived but a short
time and the heart broken parents re-
ceived her bruised body instead Of the
happy child whom they expected home
from school. The thought of the child
lying on the track awaiting death,
unable to escape, is as fraught with
pitifulness as can well be imagined.
Dickinson county's history furnishes
no more deplorable accident.
