SUNDAY OPENING.
The Question of Opening the Worlds Fair
Sunday to BE Araned Today.

The Question of Opening the Worlds Fair
Sunday to Be Argued Today.
CHICAGO, Jan. Especial. 1.-The ques-
ton of keeping open the Worlds Fair on
Sundays will be argned before Judge
Tuley tomorrow. The application for the
injunction to restrain the Worlds Fair
directors from closing the gates on Sun
days is based on the assumption that jack
son Park is public property, place of
resort owned by the whole people. The
Park commissioners, it is alleged, hold
this property in trust for the people, and
have no right to bar the public from it on
any day in the year.
1t is further alleged that since they have
not the right to bar out the people they
have not the right to delegate to any other
body the right to close the grounds on
Sunday. 1t is claimed that under the
charter citizens and taxpayers have the
right to visit Jackson park on any day in
the year without paying for admission.
In the application for the injunction the
question of charging for admission is for-
mally waived. The movement is backed
by prominent business men.

THE ROW IN KANSAS.

The Senatorial Fight Practically Over
shadows All Questions of Legislation.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 2.-The interest
in the fight for senator for Kansas prac-
ticaIIv overshadows all questions Of
legislation. The legislature does not
open until a week hence, and all matter
regarding its organization and probable
action is in chaotic state. Both sena-
torial and legislatorial hinge on the or
canization of the house. The Republic
cans have a bare majority of one in the
house and there seems to be every reason
to believe they will succeed in the organ
jzation of that branch. That done thew
will have power to unseat enough Popu-
lists to secure a majority in joint ballot
and elect a Republican successor TO SEN
ate or Perkins.
On the other hand the Populists have
majority in the senate of three and Will be
able to unseat the entire minority of
eleven members if necessary. Both par
ties, however, disclaim any intention OF
unseating anybody. In that event the
Republicans will be able to organize the
house The Populisus Will have a major
ity of three in the senate, and four
straight out Democrats, three in the
house and one in the senate, will hold the
balance of power on joint ballot, the par
ties in joint session being divided as fol-
lows: Republicans, 81; Populists, 70:
Democrats, 4.
Senator Perkins IS a candidate for re-
election by the Republicans. He has no
opposition and will, without doubt, Sc
cure the Republican caucus nomination.
There are a dozen candidates who will 20
before the Populist caucus. The leaders
among them now seem to be Judge John

States senator to succeed Senator G. N.

Foote. Alameda, and James Coleman Of
san Francisco, on the Democratic side;
aon Z. n. FentOn, San MateO. and NJ.
d. De Young and Morris NJ. Estes Of San
francisco, on the Republican side. The
democrats lack only two votes of ma
JoTlty on Joint ballot, while the Repub-
llcans lack eight. Statements were made to
the eject that the eight PoDulist votes
would be cast with the Republicans for
election OF United States senator, but this
IS denied by several of the PopuIists who
state they viii vote as a unit. their pref
erenoe being Thomas Victor of San Fran
cisco.
Republicans and Democrats are now
looking after the doubtful votes of Burke.
who was elected to the assembly as a nom
partisan, and Carlson, Independent from
san Diego, both Of whom are classed with
the Republicans. Assuming that tbe
Popullsts combine with the Republicans
and Carlson votes with the Democrats, as
they now expect, the legislature would
be lied on joint ballot, and it would de-
yolye upon Governor Markham, who is a
republican, to appoint the senator. One
feature OF the contest is the withdrawal
SInce saturday OF FoOte who, next to
WHITE, was considered the most promis-
ing Democratic candidate. He states his
withdrawal was inspired by wish to
avoid lnjuring the Democratic side by di-
viding its forces.
For speaker of the assembly Gould of
MERGED, Shanaban of Shasta and Mat
thews OF Iebama are Democratic candi-
dates, while Flint of San Benito and Nc
Owan of Humboldt are contesting for the
presidency pro TEN OF the senate. No
candidates are yet put forth prominently
Tor these places by other parties.
Ihe Republican caucus tonight nomi-
mated a candidate for speaker and thus
designated a leader for the minority.
George r. Maltby was selected by a vote

Hon. William Sulzer OF New York was
nominated by reclamation for speaker at

clamation.

millionaire of this city. The interview
grew out of the statement telegraphed
from the west, that Jules Beauvis, a
miner, recently returned from Alaska de-
clared that w. B. Tascott, for whose ar
rest as Snell's murderer big reward at
one time was offered. was there. Dyer
declares that Tascott is not the murderer
OF Smell but consented to act the part of
scapegoat in order to shield the man VINO
did and who is prominent man still in
Chicago and has spent fortune in cover
ing up his crime. Dyer declares Beauvis
knew Tascott in Chicago and therefore
should know what he is talking about.
He says the real murderer hired Tascott
to go with him to rob the Smell residence;
that Smell heard them and came down
stairs, and that thu man mentioned killed
him. Tascott, he declares, could have
been arrested many times over if he was
really wanted.

OF the furniture, which Governor Moon
light, the last Democratic governor of the
territory, turned over to his successor,
Governor Warren. While the inventory
was on Governor Osborne's desk and
while his back was turned Barber picked
up the document and put it in his pocket.
He refused to return it, saying, ''It does
not belong here.'
The inventory had been in Osborne's
possession long enough for him to dis
cover that number of pieces of valuable
furniture turned over to Governor (now
Senator) Warren, were missing, and Gov
ernor Osborne refused to receipt for anv
of the property unless the list was re-
turned, and as Barber refused TO return
the list, the transfer stopped abruptly.
Barber's peculiar action was taken to
shield Senator Warren, about whose ex
penditure of the contingent fund of his
office when ne was governor, there mas
always been some unsavory scandal.

NEBRAsKA,s LEGISLATURES.
A Three Cornered Fight for the Organiza-
ton of the Body.

A Three cornered Fight for the Organiza-
ton of the Body.
LINCOLN, Jan. 2.-The Nebraska gem
eral assembly meets to-morrow and will
have one of the prettiest three cornered
fights on its hands ever witnessed in a
legislative body. There are three parties
and neither has enough strength to or
ganize either house without the help from
one OF the others. Thus SO far no plan of
combination has been agreed on, but it is
possible the Democrats and independents
may get together before the session opens.
This legislature Will elect a successor to
United States Senator Paddock and will
be called on to enact important railroad
legislation and deal with other matters of
vital interest to the state. So that it is
important to each party to be able to
direct this work. 1t has been suggested
that the monopoly members irrespective
of party organize the body and let the
senatorial fight take care OF itself.
In this there is a peculiar feature in
Knox county. By a decision of the SUI

one.

THE ELEVENTH CENSUS.
All Work Must Be Completed by the End
of This Year.

WASHINGTON, Jan. All work on the
eleventh census will be completed and the
matter turned over to the secretary of the
interior by the 31st of December, 1885,
This will be required by the appropriation
bill now being framed by the House sub
committee. Up to date the cost of the
census has been 1920, 600 and Mr.. Porter
was before the committee today and urged
the passage of bill appropriating $240,
600 to carry him from the 18th of March to
the end of the fiscal year. Porter ex-
planned that the expense attached to TAX
ing the census was greater than antici-
pated, because the present census as
sumed a much broader field of operation
than any before.
The report OF The sheep industry treats
of the history and conditions of the in
dustry from the early settlement of the
country down to the present day and
is handsomely illustrated. 1t is for
distribution by the secretary and through
members of congress.

Washington Was More Quiet Than for
Many Years.

WASHINGTON, Jan. To-day was the
quietest New Year Washington has ex-

White House was not only house of
mourning but was quarant1ned by reason

Speaker Crisp being sick, though not
seriously so, Mrs. Crisp did not receive.
At nearly all the leading hotels, the
custom which has been observed for many
years by the lady guests holding a recep-
ton in the parlors, was this year omitted,
and very few private residences held open
houses.
