grated parlors and dancing hall. In the
reception room adjoining the parlors all
elevated stage was erected, from
which Seibert'S orchestra rendered the
promenade concert. This stage
was beautifully decorated with
palms, plants and flowers. Banked
around this were plants and flowers in
endless variety. The sedate statesman,
the patriotic servants of the state. the
honored citizens in private life, the
young man or fashion, sprinkling of
army officials and the daughters and
wives of the statesmen and civilians in
handsome costumes filled the parlors
and halls with brightness as they con-
versed in groups OF promenaded the
corridors during the early and the later
hours.
Never was brighter scene than that
presented in the ball room as the hours
went by in courting the muse Terpsl-
chore. 1t was sight to be remembered
in pleasant dreams to see the beautiful
younger ladies mlngling with the sedate
matrOnS in the dancing with the gallant
younger men and the chivalrouS states
men of decades ago, as we'll as those
who look after the welfare of state in
these later days.
The promenade concert embraced the
following selections:
March-'Alexander' ........ Weingarten

The dancing programme was one de-

TO CHECKNATE THE SHERIFF
Populists Take Action Which May
Precipitate Bloodshed.

Precipitate BlOOdShed.
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 16.-The Popu-
lists house this afternoon, in secret
session, took action by which they pro-
pose to relieve themselves from the en-
barrassing situation by which they find
themselves confronted. This action
is contemplated to checkmate
Sheriff Wilkerson in his sup
port of the Republican position.
The Populist house met in executive
session in the rooms of the Chess and
Checker club. A bill was passed under
emergency proceedings empowering the
governor TO remove the sheriff of any
county for cause and appoint his sue
cessor forthwith. Specific causes for
which sheritfs can be removed are not
stated. The bill provides that its pro-
visions shall become effective immdiate-
ly after it has passed the senate and has
received the governors signature with
out being published in the state paper.
The bill was at once enrolled, and will
be sent to the senate the first thing in
the morning. The programme is forAhe
senate to pass it without delay ana seld
it to the governor for his signature as
soon as possible. The purpose of the
bill is evident. Under its pro-
visions the governor can relieve
Sheriff Wilkerson from duty and
disband his posse-that is unless the
sheriff resists such action, basing his
resistance upon the claim that the bill
has not been passed by the legally con-
stituted house of representatives. The
governor may, under the provisions of
the bill, attempt to disperse Sheriff
Wilkerson's forces, thus opening new
vista of war possibilities. Sheriff Wilk-
erson says he will not give up. his office
without struggle.

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 16.-At 2:30 the
governor sent proposition for peace to
the Republicans. 1t read: The gov
ernor offers, in the interest of peace
and harmony, that he will withdraw
the state militia and not allow the Re-
publican house or its employees to be in
terfered with by the Populists, provided
all further proceedings that have been
begun by the Republicans arising from
the arrest of Benjamin G. Rich be
dropped and that the Populist members
and employees be not disturbed by the
arrest of officers or otherwise, and the
sheriff of Shawnee county discharge his
deputies, and does not interfere nor try
to interfere with the acts of the POpu :
lists and state officers, including the
militia, and this agreement to continue
in force until the close of the present
session of the legislature"
The proposition elected great deal
of argument. The house was at first not
disposed to do more than reject the
proposition. but after thoughtful de-
bate it was voted to appoints committee
of five to prepare cOunter-prOpOsltiOn
to the governor. The committee retired
to consult. After lengthy conSulta-
ton, proposition was reported
to the house for presentation to the
governor. Representative Chambers,
of Comanche. suggested that by
the terms of the proposition offered in
case the sait pending in the supreme
court, decision of which will decide the
legality or illegality of the Republican
house, were dismissed, the possession
Of representative hall would hold the
balance. The point was purely one of
law. but to guard against an emergency
the proposition offered was referred for
revision to committee on law. BY this

itself provides for the cession of all
rights of sovereignty over the islands,
all public buildings and property to the
United States, revenue from public
lands, except such as are reserved for
government purposes, to be used solely
for the benefit of the people of the
Islands. Until congress provides other
wise. the existing government and laws
of the Hawaiian islands are continued,
subject to the paramount authority Of
the United States. A resident commits
sioner is to be appointed who shall have
power to veto any act of said govern-
ment. Until congress enacts the neces-
Sary legislation existing commercial
relations of the Hawaiian Islands,
both with the United States and foreign
governments shall continue. Further
immigration of Chinese into the islands
is prohibited. and Chinese now in the
Islands shall not be permitted to come
into the present territory of the United
States. The public debt of the islands
is assumed by the United States to the
extent of s., ,250, 600. The United States
agrees to pay to Queen Lilioukalani
SZU,UUU year during lie, ana 10 IflnceSS
Kaioulan $150,00O. Provision is made
for the exchange of ratifications of the
treaty at Honolulu as soon as possible,
on the part of the United States by the
resident commissioner, provided for in
the treaty. Under the provisions in the
treaty The sugar producers of Hawaii
will not participate in the bounty pro-
vided by the Mckinley law unless con-
greSs should extend it 10 the islands.
Accompanying the message and the
treaty is the correspondence upon the
subject between the two governments,
tables giving full details as to the area
of the territory proposed to be annexed,
the public debt. the public lands, the
annual allowances to and revenue Of
the late royal household, and statistics
as to the population and revenues, COLL
merce and other economic ,Datters relat-

alarms. This condition determined
the governor to seek to compromise, and
to at least gain little time. More tele-
grams were sent tonight to
The Populist StrOnghO1ds
throughout the state, advising them of
the situation and informing them that
the presence of Populsts would be a
great support to them both physically
and morally In the meantime the
PopuiStS began to arrive, and tonight
the Populisls are strongly reinforced.
The governor may organize these into
provisional troops who can be depended
upon to obey his orders. 1t is not be-
lieved, however, that he will take such
extraordinary action.
The injunction proceedings to re-
strain the auditor from paying the sala-
fl6S 10 the HOpullSG members, unQer the
legislative appropriation bill passed by
the Populist house, comes up tomorrow
morning at O'Clock in the district
court. Whatever the decision of that
court an appeal will be taken
to the supreme corut. The prospects
for tomorrow are that the PopulSts
will decline to accept the proposition of
the compromise as amended by the Re-
pubIicans and that the situation will
then lapse back into today's condition.
In that event the only resource left the
POpulStS will be reliance upon prOvis-
ional troops. The general feeling to-
night is one of renewed uneasiness, and
predictions are freely made that tomor-
row may see the long-anticipated war
lnaugurated.
