Good Horses and Fairly Treated.


High tide in Hoboken, and the floating
bridges leading to the ferry boats are pretty
steep hills for horses to climb, especially il
the load is heavy, and many heavy loads
come from Hoboken.
Here are two big gray horses coming mp
the bridge, pulling heavy truck piled
high with some sort Of imported mer-
chandise in cases. The bridge is a little
slippery, and maybe the horses are rather
smooth shod, for they slip to a standstill,
but the truck doesn't go back; a watchful
ferryhand slips block under the off rear
wheel The driver upon his high seat
now reclines with slightly blase air, as
though driving were rather bore to him
anyhow, and he is glad to give it up for a
time. The horses stand at rest. The pro-
cession of horses and vehicles coming in
from the street closes up solid and halts.
Passengers coming aboard stop at the
rear end of the ferryboat, look at the
stalled team and wonder how and when
the blockade will be raised.
After awhile, it seems q long time, though
In reality it is only forty-fve or fifty sec.
onds, the driver appears to wake up, he
sits up, he gathers up the reins. The
horses seem to become rigid. The driver
doesn't hurry them nor fret them at all; he
knows them. They are good horses-not
blooded, but game nevertheless clean
through. Suddenly they spread themselves
and dig their toes into the planks. Snakes,
how they do PULL They fairly lift that
heavy load of it's feet; it has to come, and
they pass on aboard the boat greeted with
mods and sklauts of approval from the

BLEEDING KANSAS STATESMEN.
A Collision Between the Two
Rival Houses.
Two Republicans Knocked Down and
Others Badly Bruised.
Warrants Sworn Out on the Be1ligerent
PopulIst Members = The Consta-
BILE Afraid to Serve Them
Other Notes.

BY the Associated Press
Topeka, Kan, Feb. 1A.-This after
noon, by order of the Republican house,
B. @. Rich, clerk of the Populist house,
was arrested in q restaurant by
the sergeant-at-arms of the Republican
house, on the charge Of contempt OF
court. The Populists at once rallied,
forcibly released him, and escorted him
to the governors Office.
During the conflict two Republicans
were knocked down and several men on
each side badly bruised by blows of
fists. The encounter occurred in the
very center Of the city, and created the
greatest excitement. Later Rich was
triumphantly escorted into the hall Of
the house of representatives, his wife
holding one arm and Representative
Wordsworth of Atchison the other. His
appearance was greeted with cheers and
clapping of hands. Speaker Dunsmore,
in calling the house to order, referred
to the street encounter, laying all the
blame on the Republican house and
defending the course OF the Populists.
After roll call the following preamble
and resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, An attempt was made to
arrest the chief clerk Of this house by
an organized mob, calling themselves
the Republican house of representa-
tives, but which we believe in reality to
be the Santa Fe railroad; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the regularly organ
lied and constitutional house of repre-
sentatives proclaim to the state of Kan
sas that the mob was foiled and that
"our flag is still there"
Later the Republicans awore out war;
rants before Justice Chesney charging
Representative Ryan and Reading Clerk
s. NJ. Scott with assault and battery. A
constable appeared in the hall to arrest
them. Ryan consulted with his friends
and announced that he would neither
go with the constable nor give bonds for
his appearance. The constable fingered
grim and determined and announced
that he would make the arrests even if
he had to summon posse.
The constable finding that an attempt
to make the arrests while such great ex-
element prevailed might precipitate
serious trouble, made no attempt to
serve the warrants, and may not then
unless the situation calms down mater
tally. The Republicans, however, are
determined to effect the arrest of Popu-
list Clerk Rich and the Populists are de-
termined to defend him against arrest.
Speaker Douglass this afternoon
issued call for volunteers to serve as
assistant sergeants-at-arms to aid the
sergeant-at-arms in affecting Rich's ar
rest. At 10 O'Clock tonight $50 men had
responded to the call and taken the
oath Of Office. Populist Speaker Dins-
more swore in 20 assistant sergeants to
act as body guard for Chief Clerk Rich.
If trouble results the governor announces
his intention of calling out the militia
to disperse the Republican mob and
maintain peace.

The question of annexation has been
discussed on the islsnds for the last two

tion spread rapidly during the last year
and the only question at all in doubt
was as to how 1t could be brought
about. The Oldest men recognized that

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 14.-Governor
Murphy's message was delivered to the
Seventeenth legislature today. He ad-
vocated the advisability of removing the
penitentiary from Yuma and the utiliz-
ing of prison labor outside OF the prison.
He also recommended high license for
saloons and the prohibition of gambling,
which is now licensed, and the prohibi-
ton of women singing or playing
musical instruments in saloons or drink
ing therein. He favored the enfran-
chisement of women, and suggested that
all conductors and brakemen should be
allowed to arrest tramps and turn them
over to the nearest authorities, conclud-
ing with the recommendation that a
joint resolution should be sent immedi-
ately to congress urging statehood.
A committee has been appointed in
the territorial council to investigate the
actions of the territorial loan commits
sion, which recently secured $1,000, 900
to refund the public debt. just what
this signifies is difficult to conjecture.

STATE BOARD OF TRADE.

An Interesting Discussion OF the Subj ect
of Irrigation.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14.-Mayor Cole
OF Fresno introduced the subject of irri-
cation at the regular monthly meeting
of the state board of trade today. Eu-
gene Gregory Of Sacramento presided.
The wonderful benefits of irrigation to
Fresno county were dilated on at length.
He commented on the growth of the
county in IA years, the population in
creasing from 10000 to $4,000 in that
time. The near approach of water
to the surface of the soil was
mentioned in the course of Mr.. Coles
remarks, and this point was taken up
by W. HI. Mills of this city. 1t was
urged that systematic system of drain
age must be devised in Fresno and other
irrigated counties, else the land would
become waterHoaked and devoid OF fer
tility.
Attention was called by Mr.. Mill to
an article which appeared lately in the
Fortnightly Review. The author is
William Roberts. The article warns
people against great expectations in
fruit growing and is said to be "a warn
ing" The author says: "The fruit
industry of California will right itself
In time by the usual melancholy pro-
cess of struggle for existence and the
survival OF the fittest farmers and
FARMS" Mr.. Mills urged the impor-
tance of the state board of trade making
an adequate reply to this article.
Mr.. Hutchinson described the great
irrigation work going on in Lassen
county.
Mr.. McAfee of Bakersfield was in
inclined to think the Fortnightly Re-
view warning was timely in many re-
spects.
Mr.. Mills, commenting ON the over
production arguments, predicted that
this would adjust itself. He argued
that history showed that special
products such as fruit will finally be
produced chiefly in those districts where
they can be produced best and cheapest.
He said too that freight rates and the
transportation problem would be solved
satisfactorily as the fruit product in
creases in quantity.
Mr.. Mills was appointed committee
of one to answer the Fortnightly Re-
view article.
Messrs. Mills, McAfee and Maslin
were named as q special committee on
irrigation topics. The March meeting
will be the annual meeting when officers
will be nominated and elected.
