st. Paul was a sort of congressional
way station yesterday, the members OF
the lower house of congress from all the
states west of Minnesota, bordering on
Canada, with the exception of Idaho,
passing through on their way to the ma
tional capital. Although the states,
Washington, Montana and North Da-
kota are far from being limited in area,
their delegations in the present con-
gress are very small, one man repre-
senting each state. congressman John
l.. Wilson, of Washington, and NJ. n.
Johnson, of North Dakota, jour
neyed together, and tarried in st.
Paul only long enough to meet
a few friends and dine. They resumed
their Journey eastward on an afternoon
train. Congressman w. w. Dixon, of
Montana, spent several hours at the
Ryan and did not leave for Chicago un-
til the regular evening train. The Mon
tana jurist is the only Democrat in the
three, and, unfortunately for his state,
he failed of a reelection last month by
a few hundred votes.

gradual reduction of the
tariff until it reaches revenue basis.
The Republicans would like to see the
Democrats go at the tariff with an AK
and chop for the sake of chopping with
out sense, judgment or regard for any
thing save the immediate reduction of
all duties to a revenue basis. This
view is only held by the politicians of
the Republican party and the people
will not be misled by it. The great
Democratic victory did not mean that
the people favored the immediate
abolition of custom houses, but it did
emphasize the fact that the people of
the United States do not believe in the
principle upon which the Mckinley
tariff act was framed"

LOANED TO BOYS.
Large Sums Loaned by the Mavers
ick National Bank to Seven
Office Boys.
Eighty Thousand Dollars Alleged
to Have Been Borrowed by
Negro Wallet.

New YORK, Dec. Limited States
Senator Chandler is the chairman of
committee which will make an interest
ing report 10 the senate within the next
few months in regard to national banks.
The committee is that on failed national
banks, and in the last few months it has
been busy investigating the natiOnal
bank failures of the last yea or two,
paying particular attention To the Nav
erck National bank, of Boston, and the
Keystone and the Spring Garden Ma
tional banks, of Philadelphia.
A member Of the committee says that
the testimony which had been taken in
connection with the committees lnveSti-
CATION into the failure of the Maverick
National bank would show some inter-
esting things. Seven Office boys, lie
said. were down on the books OF the
bank as borrowers of sums OF money
running as high as $4,000. Another
case that the committee found was that
of negro valet who was down on the
books as the borrower of $50, 600.
The report of this committee will bear
directly on the recommendations that
have been made by Solicitor Hepburn,
who has advised the adoption of changes
of q sweeping nature in national bank
ing laws. The changes that he recon-
mends all point to improving national
bank failures through causes that have
brought many of the recent downfalls.
The members of the committee, besides
the chairman. are Senators PETER, Car
Isle and Brice. During the recent stay
in this city with the senate cOmmItte on
immigration. Senator Chandler has been
i'll consultation with number OF bank
presidents and officials, with whom he
has discussed the solicitors recOnl-
mendatiOnS.

DRAWN OUT OF A HAT.
Dame Fortune Decides Who
Shall Control the Kansas
House.
Lots Drawn Out Of a Hat to
Decide the Coffey
County Tie.
Republicans Win and the Pop
ulists Denounce 1t as an
Outrage.
Conflicting Statements About
the Manner Of the Draw
ing.

Topeka, Kan. Dec. 1.-The executive
council, sitting as a board of canvas
serS, this afternoon cast lots to decide
the legislative tie of Cotfey county and
Bollinger Republican, was chosen.
The entire proceedings were conducted
in secret session and Attorney General
Ives, the only Democrat on the board,
refused to take part in it. By this de-
cision the Republicans get in control of
the lower house of the legislature, and
Breidenthal, chairman of the Populist
state central committee, openly charges
the board with fraud.
1t was impossible to get statements
from the various members composing
the returning board this afternoon
which did not conflict. Secretary Hig-
gins stated that Treasurer Slower drew
the ballots, and the auditor declared
that it was Secretary Higgins. The
town was in state of excitement to-
night over the announcement, and the
fusion politicians declare that they will
not submit to what they term 'the out
rage" In arh interview tonight Auditor
Hovey gave this version Of the drawing:
Eighteen ballots were deposited in
hat, one of which was marked 'BOllln-
ger,' the name of the Republican candi-
date, and another Rice the PopulisU
candidate. The ballots were placed in
Gov. Humphreys hat and set on table,
and Secretary of State Higgins turned
his back and drew the ballots. The
first eight were blanks and the ninth
was 'BOllinger.'"

IN HOPELESS RUIN.
Little Will Be Saved From the
Financial Crash in Joliet,
Ill.
Liabilities Aggregate Nearly ST.
100000, With Only One-Third
That Much Assets.

JOLIET, ILL.,, Dec. 1.-The condition of
the collapsed Stone City bank and the
Enterprise company looks more serious
today. Everything in sight has been
attached. The transfer of the property
of the Fishes subjects them to bitter
reproach. All the transfers will be con-
tested In the court. The fast horses
and booded stock of George Fish were
attached last night. The assignee of
the bank, James L.. O'Donnell, is the
attorney of the Fishes. The excitement
today Is more intense than yesterday.
The many small depositOrS who re-
sponded to the advertisement of the
band for longtime deposits on interest
are breathing all sorts of threats. The
bitter feeling grows with the idea that
Napoleon" methods have been resort
ed to by the principal owners of the
embarrassed concerns. The cred
itors are beginning to believe
that both the institutions are in
volved in hopeless ruin. The Illinois
Steel company, it is said, will push its
claim of S150.O00. The claim will be set
up, according to current report, that the
Fishes were trying to defraud their
creditors. The Fishes insist thet they
paid out $4,000 during the run on the
bank, but the depositOrs say that no
such amount was paid out.
Theodore Fish, father of the Fish
Bros, is almost crazed with the crash.
He placed every confidence in his son
George as fnancier. Georges ambi-
tion was to OWE and operate the biggest
wire plant in the world. He kept
blooded horses and followed metro
politan fashions, always taking a col
ored footman along on the back of his
turnout. Depositors are frantic over
their loss, and it would surprise nobody
if mob violence ensued. Additional
claims were filed today, bringing the
aggregate liabilities of both concerns to
nearly S1,0O0.00O, with probably one
third of that amount in assets.

The Representative of the Ever
green State Talks Politics.
Congressman John l.. Wilson, of
Washington. is as slender as Hon. John
Lind, of this state, and were he not de-
cided brunette would greatly resem BILE
the New Ulm statesman. In the pres
ent congress he is the only represent
ative of his state, but in the next con-
gress he will be reinforced by man
from ''west of the mountains" Hon.
w. Ii. Doolittle, of Tacoma. Mr.. Will
son resides in Spokane. He is nervous,
fidgety but willing to talk at any
and all times. An incesSant worker,
he has managed to represent rival
communities and cities in manner that
has prevented would-be rivals taking
his scalp. Unlike Minnesota's senior
Republican senator. Mr.. Wilson knows
how to work to secure appropriations
from Democratic congresses, as well as
the one controlled by the Republicans
two years ago.
81 am personally in favor of an extra
session" "lhe said, but the Democrats
will not have one for the simple reason
that it would help the Republicans. In
case there should be an extra session
it will not he called before Octo-
Der. There is one thing in my
opinion upon which all parties should
be united. This is the immigration
question. This is a matter OF country
and not of party. None of us has any
objection to the honest, industrious I'M
migrant, but there are altogether too
many of the other kind coming in at the
present time. A few days ago an at
tempt was made in my state to natural
ize twenty-five who could not speak a
word of English and had not the faint
est conception of the meaning of Amer
ican citizenship. The judge very prop
erly refused to issue the papers. This
matter can hardly be reached at the
coming session, owing to the appropria
ton bills and other routine matters. but
it should be taken up year hence"

WREsTLED WITH A TIE.
Kansas State Board of Canvassers
Strike Numerous Snags.

Strike Numerous Snags.
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 1.-The state
board of canVassers this morning at
tempted to wreStle with the Cofey
county legislative tie, and found itself
surrounded bynumerous complications.
Upon this tie rests the organization Of
the house. The official count shows
that the lower house will stand: Re-
publicans, 90; PopuIists, 5S; Democrats,
3; Independent. Ia tie. The indie
pendent legislator is Wilson, of Meade
county. He is Republican, but was
elected by Populists' votes against the
Republican nominee. He is an intimate
friend of Jerry Simpson. and the Popu-
lists claim him for their caucus NOM
inee and also in the house organization.
With the Cotfey county tie decided in
their favor the Republicans will have
siXty-three votes. enough to organize
the house. In the discussion this morn
ing some of the members of the board
seemed to think it was unconstitutional
to decide the lots, and Gov. Humphrey
held that the board was not Authorized
to pass on constitutional questions.
Chairman Breidentha instituted an
injunction proceedings this morning, re-
Straining the board of issuing certifi-
cate Of election to Lerevey, the Repub-
lican elector, whose election was due to
the fact that the name of his fusion OPP
ponent was incorrectly printed on the
tickets of two counties. A contest Will
follow, and the opinion seems general
that the Populists will win their point.

outside of the city by wire was more
nearly cut off today than at any time

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. LIN the Cur.
tis murder trial today j. Twomey was
called by the prosecution. He and wit
ness Thomas Mullen, who gave testi-
mony yesterday afternoon, were re-
turning from an entertainment early
on the morning of the shooting, walk
ing along Folsom street at the time of
the shooting, which he saw. The wit
ness testified that the smaller man of
the two, supposed to be Curtis, shot the
larger man, Officer Grant, who fell upon
the sidewalk. The smaller man
fired second shot, and then
ran away. The witness joined
the officers in the pursuit of the fleeing
man, but when he turned the corner of
Folsom and Fifth streets, running
down the latter street, the witness
gave up the chase. The small
man was brought back in charge of
the officer and taken to the South
ern police station. The body of
Grant was placed in patrol wagon and
taken away. The witness said he and
Mullen found a Smith & Wesson pis-
tol in the sand on Fifth street near the
corner, around which the smaller
man ran soon after shooting.
Mullen picked up the pistol, the barrel
of which was yet warm. The witness
was questioned minutely as to the POSI-
ton of the two men at the time of the
shooting and direction taken by the
fleeing man. His testimony was the
same as given on the first trial of the
defendant

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-SenatOr Black
burn (DemocraD, OF Kentucky, does not
think that an extra session of congress
is necessary. but believes that the ques-
ton cannot be safely determined until
Feb. 10. Senator Davis (Republican),
of Minnesota, expresses the belief that
an extra session will not be called, as
Mr. Cleveiand's strong common sense
will enable him to resist the conSdera-
BILE pressure that will be brought to
bear to induce him to do SO.
Congressman Springer, of Illinois,
chairman of the committee OH ways and
means, returned to this city last night
in full health. In the course of an inter-
view, he says the people of the country
are entitled to thorough revision of the
tariff, and the work to be done as early
as possible. An extra session seems to
him to be absolutely necessary. The
new tariff bill, he added, cannot be
modelled on the lines of the Mills bill,
for that measure was framed in response
to Mr. Cleveland's exhibit of surplus
of S1OO,OO0,000 in the treasury. The
next tariff must open the way toward an
increase in the revenues-not reduc-
ton. There is an absolute necessity,
Mr.. Springer continued, for an extra
session to provide means for meeting
the threatened deficiency in the treas
ury on the 1st of July. While the de-
ficiency must be met. no new imposition
must be placed upon the people.
