KANSAS FRAUD RAMPANT.
Republicans Claim They Were Cheated Out Of
the Election.

TorEkA, Kan, Nov. ls,--It is probable
that there will he lively time in kansa'
before the new Populist state officers take
their seats. Charges of fraud are beint
made BY leading Republicans and the state
central committee is investigating the mat
ter.
On the face of the returns the Populis'
or Fusion state ticket is elected by about
5000 majority. Republicans charge that
over 10000 fraudulent votes were poiled
for that ticket. Letters have been received
by the committee from 80 different sec
tons of the state charging that from 800 to
700 votes were polled by parties who do moi
live in the voting precinct or county, and
that in spite of the challenges by Republi
cans the Populist returning boards arbitra'
riy counted votes.
In seven or eight counties bordering on
the Cherokee Strip it is alleged that sever
al thousand boomers were induced TO cross
the state line, scatter out through the va
rious voting precincts and cast their votes
for the Peoples ticket.
In many counties Republicans claim from
1000 TO 2000 more votes were cast than The
actual voting population.
On the face of the returns from ever,
county in the second district Congressman
Funston is elected by Is majority. Col
Moore, his Democratic opponent, has givei
notice of his intention to contest on The
ground of Illegal voting.

FRIENDS AND FOES.
The Congo State Will Reward the Faithful
Arabs and Punish the Rebels.

BrrssELs, Nov. Is.--The Congo STATE
has decided to reimburse Tippu Tih and hi'
lfeutenants, Rachid and Sefu, for the losses
inflicted upon them by the expedition OF
Capt Van den Kerckhoven in the Wclle
Makua region. Tippu Tib and his lienten'
ants had large trading interests in the hands
Of these Arabs, whom the Congo State cx'
petition attacked and drove north of the
Makus because they were engaged in the
slave trade.
The state has also decided to reduce by
force the chiefs of fNyangwe and Riba Riba,
who murdered IIodister and his companions,
if they refuse to pay large indemnity To
the company whose agents they killed. For
the present the Congo state does not fear
any fresh hostilities on the part of these
Arabs 1t has decided, however, that every
case of insuboriination must be punished if
the state is TO maintain its ascendancy and
at the same time all who remained faithful
to the state will be reimbursed for any loss
they have suffered at the hands OF the
states agents.

BATH FIRE BUG

Endangering the Ammen Ram.
prompt Action Of Fifemea Prevented An,
Serious oamage.-A Shed Burned.

Barn, Nov. l..-The Times says that
la, night at about 1880, one Of j. W.
ps.k's hackmen and a policeman were
standing on the depot platform waiting for
the Pullman to arrive from Brunswick,
V hen their attention vas attracted by light
in the direction of the southern division OF
the Iron Works. Thinking that this would
bear investigation they got on the hack and
draye down 10 the works and saw that il
WAS "A Ire in the yard near the government
ram They drove rapidly back TO box -
al CITY hall, and rang in the alarm.
Ia remarkably quick time hose was at

work. as the gate was down and locked
and the watchman did not make his appear
ance.
They had 10 take an axe and break IN the
yat. and soon bad stream on the hre, al
thauel il took 1000 feet of hose to reach it..
which was nearly all they had on the
wagon. By the time they got a stream on
the other companies had arrived but their
services were not needed although hose
cot a stream through their hose before they
fnnnd il out. II took only few minutes
to nut out the fire which was in she'd
which had been built for a covering for a
boiler, but which was now empty as the
boiler had been taken aboar'l of.the ram.
Owing to the quick response of the fire
department the fire did no damage to speak
Of, only burning the shed, but if it had
been left while longer before being dis
covered il would probably have caught the
blocking under the ram and burned it out
from under her letting her down on to the
ground
How the fire caught is mystery as thefe
had been no fire around there for over 3
week. II would be almost impossible for
any one to get in from the street as tire
ward /. fast, ned up so securely that the
fire department had hard work to get in.
The onss theory offered is that some one
must have come there in a boat, set the
tire and disappeared again This could
be easily done without discovery as the
Waterman saws he does not go over in that
part of the yard during the night.

DETECTIVE INVESTIGATION.
Startling Testimony by Robert Bruce. Mana
ger Of a Detective Agency.

Cuc,eo, Nov. Is.--In the Pinkerton
investigation today, Capt. Foley, PinkeT-
ton official, testified referring to the Frick
Coke Co. trouble of some months ago.
The witness said his men did not take arms
to Pennsylvania, but were armed at Pitts
burg with Winchcsters sent from Chicago.
Pinkerton's orders were that they be armed
with clubs only. Foley disobeyed the or
ders in causing the men to take Winches-
tiers. But he did so. he said, to save life
and prevent disorder.
Robert Bruce, Chicago, manager of de-
tective agency declared that Pinkerton
men were usually the scum Of the earth, and
one of Pinkerton's present superintendents
is an ex-convict. Men of other agencies
are no better than Pinkertons. He would
not believe detective under oath, and that
applied to himself. He said in strikes de-
tectives were often induced to manufacture
evidence.
