Topeka's streets during the afternoon and in
the early evening communication between
parties on the principal streets, only a few
feet apart, was accomplished principally 5y
signs. The college boys had taken the town,
and their college yells, with tin horn accom-
paniment, scared the sparrows into the
suburbs.
The racket finally concentrated about ana
inside of the Grand opera house, where, until
exercises opened, at about 8 o'clock, the roar
was continuous.
The proceedings were sandwrched with
music by orchestra: composed of Winfield,

noise than ever. The colleges grouped their

Offered to Clarkson.

New YORK, February ia morning paper
states that General Clarkson has been offered
and has accepted a portfolio in President
Harrison's cabinet, either as postmaster gen.
eral or as secretary of the interior.
Before his acceptance Clarkson refused the
position, es ne was the staunch friend of
Blaine, and could not, of course, work for
Blaine nomination for the presidency and
be in Harrison's cabinet at the same time.
The Blaine letter of withdrawal from the
race removed the obstacle and Clarkson con-
sented to accept either one of the two posi-
tons mentioned.
The president has offered Wanamaker, as
has been stated, the French mission, which
Minister Whitelaw Reid is going to resign.

barger's joint resolution, calling on Senator
Brice to take such steps as he deemed neces-
sary with reference to the charges of corrup-

Mr.. Danberry moved that it be referred to
a select committee of one, with leave to re-
port at any time, and the proposition was
carried before the democrats realized what
was done, the resolution being referred to
the author of the motion.
1t is understood that this will smother the
resolution

ST. Paul, MINI, February 1.-THE ex-

All over the northwest, clear up to Medi-

phenomenal lunar halo which disappeared

LONDON, February 13.-A dispatch to the
Times from Rio Janeiro states that affairs
there are in very bad shape, and notwith-
standing the fac. that the election of General

They Lose Their Right.

GUTHRIE, O. T.. February 16-John 1.
Ollie, recorder of the Land Office here, says
that the invasion of the Cherokee strip at
this time will debar all taking part in it for
any homestead privileges when the lands are
thrown open. He quotes the act of congres-

sion to negotiate with the Indians and say
the government will strictly enforce the
clause which provides tina. any person enter
ing the lands before the president proclaims
them open shall forfeit his homestead right

The Lumber Combine.

ST. PAUL, MINI, February 16.-The sus-
pense of the Mississippi Valley Lumbermen's
association is ended by the United States
court making public the names of the lumber
kings who were indicted and ordered under
arrest. There are a score of them on the list.
These men combined owned mills and lum-
Der valued at over $5OO,OO0,OO0.
The trouble all grew out of a meeting last
September, when a resolution was reported
Der shall be advanced 81 per 200.
The gentlemen are indicted under the act
of congress of 1880 prohibiting combinations
in the restraint of trade between states, and
careful inquiry shows that this is the stand
the lumbermen will take and a portion of
their defense. The object of the law was
aimed at trusts, where all the property owned
by different individuals and corporations is
transferred to trustees, and they control and
manufacture Just as much or as little as they
please. The law was not intended to apply
to case like the present one, where men in
the lumber business met together in good
faith for the purpose of getting at the condi-
ton of the lumber market, which includes
supply and demand, and to determine whether
the condition of the market was not such as
to require an increase in the price of lumber,
in order to charge persons with entering into
q combination in restraint of trade, because
as a result of such combinations prices have
increased, it must be shown that these prices
are greater than what is necessary to protect
those engaged in the trade, and greater than
the supply and demand and the market and
circumstances require, so that it could be
said to be hardship to those compelled to
buy the article. It is claimed that no one
who will familiarize himself with the facts
will for a moment claim that the advance in
the prices of lumber agreed upon by the lum-
bermen was not just or reasonable, a that
the public has paid since then any more for
lumber than it was reasonably worth.

A Mile Of Salvation Army,

LONDON, February 16.-Ths Salvationists
of London, and in fact, of all parts of the
kingdom, took occasion to show their love
and loyalty for General Booth, who has Just
returned after a long visit to Australia and
India, by an immense gathering in Hyde
park. General Booth arrived at the Marble
arch at o'clock. and he was the recipient of
an ovation that became almost notous in its
demonstration. The procession of Saliva
tionists which the general reviewed was a
mile long, and in it were cars emblematic Of
General Booths travels in foreign lands.

WOOL.
Springer's Bill the Tariff Meas
ure of the Session.
The Wool Schedule Regarded as
the Key to Protective Tariff Sys-
tem-Friends of the Bill Believe 1t
May Pass the Senate.

WASHINGTON, d. c., February 12.-There
has been a substantial agreement reached by
the wool and wooden sped IL committee of the
on ways and means on the provisions of the
wool bill. This special committee, by agree
ment among the democratic members, was
charged with the duty of considering the
Springer wool bill, drafting any proposed
notifications, and the gathering of special
information relating to wool growing and
WOODEN manufacture. Its members have
agreed upon the changes in the duties which
they will recommend, and conference of
the democratic members of the committee
has been called, at which the matter will be
formally considered. As the special COM
mittee members IRE five out of ten demo-
cratic members of the ways and means COM
nittee, it is believed the agreement reached
embodies the provisions of the free wool bill
which the ways and means committee will
recommend to the house for passage.
Substantial reductions have been made in
the duties on wooden manufactures proposed
by the bill as introduced by Springer. The
members of the committee say the wool bill
will be the principal measure reported from
the committee, and that the examination of
its provisions, when formally announced,
will show that not only has ''no backward
step" been taken in the direction of tariff re-
form, but that a step in advance has been
taken of considerable importance, and that
on the wool schedule, regarded by all tariff
reformers as the key to the protective tariff
system, the reductions are made greater than
those proposed by the democrats two years
ago. The careful consideration of the bill,
they believe, will show that it is proposed to
make substantial attack on the tariff and,
at the same time, one which may have fair
show of passage through the senate and of
becoming n law

its passage, and any number of claimants
