ANARCHY IN KANSAS.
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. l5.-The po-
litical situation in this State, which
was considered interesting before, is
doubly interesting to-day, the Gov
ernor having ordered out the militia
to protect the Populist House of
Representatives from the attack of
the Republicans. Yesterday after
noon B. G. Rich, Clerk of the Popu-
list House, was arrested on charge
of contempt of court by the Ser
geant-at-Arms of the Republican
House, but was rescued by the Popu-
lists and escorted in triumph to- the
House.
Later the Republicans swore out
warrants, charging Representative
Ryan and Reading Clerk S. M. Scott
of the Populists with assault and
battery. A constable tried to serve
the warrants, but was prevented.
The Republicans announced that
they would make the arrests and
called the volunteers to assist the
Sergeant-at-Arms. The Populists
also swore in a number of deputies.
This morning the feeling was still
intensely hot. The Republican force
proceeded to the Hall of Represent
atives and attempted to enter, but
found the doors barred against them.
They at once sent for and secured
sledge hammers and beat in the
doors.
In the mean time message had
been sent to Governor Lewelling in
forming him of the condition of
things and he at once called out the
State militia of this city and order
ed guard to be placed in the build
ing to prevent interference with the
Populist House.

Pacific road which left Kansas City

bic. 1t was undoubtedly their in
tention to rob the eastbound pas
senger train which left Kansas City
at $3.50 pm. They tagged the freight
train with lantern and, discovering
their mistake, tried to make amends
by raid on the caboose.
Information of the attempted
robbery was wired to Kansas City
and posse of eight armed guards
was placed on the passenger train
and preparations made to give the
robbers warm reception i'll case
they renewed the attempt, but moth
ing more was heard of them.
