1t Is a most interesting fact that certain
flowers open and close their blossoms at
least once every "a hours, although the
cause of this action is as yet but imperfect
ly known. In some cases it may depend on
heat, in others O n light being present in
sufficient force. The fact has long been
known. It was known to Linneus, and
some of the early gardeners mention floral
clocks and dials among the quaint conceits
offered to the readers of their books. Here

Revolution In the Kansas Legislature
Formally Brought to an
End.
Members Of the Populist House Take
Seats in the Republican
Body.
Decision Of the Supreme Court Protest
ed Against in Disrespectful Lam
guage.

TOPEKA, Kan. March 1.-At exactly
~ o'clock the Dunsmore house, headed
by Speaker Dunsmore and Speaker Pro
Tenn Temple, marched in a body into
representative hall and took their seats
in the legal house of representatives.
The sergeant-at-arms led the procession
with large American flag, and as the
vanquished statesmen filed into the hall
they were received with respectful
silence. Applause was started in the
galleries, but it was quickly stilled by
the watchfnl house officers. No de-
monstration of any kind was permitted.
The house was raped to order and the
roll called. The Populist members for
the first time answered to the Repub-
lican roll call. Occasionally one Of
them filed a protest against the SUI
preme courts decision. a few Of these
were in bitter tone, others were insult
ing to the supreme court and still
others were respectful. The formal
surrender was made without special in
cident and the Kansas revolution was
formally brought to an end.

by q Sudden Rise of the River
DangRbe.
Inhabitants Seek Shelter in Church
but are Driven Out by the Rising
Waters.
Large Numbers Of the Unfortunate
Villagers Perish in the Attempt
to Escape.

VIENNA, March IA terrible calam-
ity has overtaken the village of Gergely,
near the town of Paks, in Hungary, sit
uated on the river Danube. about 60
miles south of Buda. Owing to the
sudden rise of the Danube, the 1000 in
,habitants Of Gergely found the mud

church and school house, which were
constructed of stronger materials, hop

began to beat against the church and

at last they decided that to remain
would mean the destruction of all Of
them, while if they fled some at least
might escape. Opening the doors they
started out into the food, which surged
nearly to the waists Of the grown-up
people. Fathers and mothers carried.

deeply concerned for their own safety,

There is no doubt that the number Of
dead is very large.

= The supreme court of Kansas, or a
majority of it, decided in favor of the
Republican, legislature on Saturday.
The Populist member of the court dis
sented not on the merits of the case but
on the ground that the court had no
jurisdiction. The press report from
Topeka says further:
1t seems to be the general decision of
the Populists to respect the decision of
the court and the Populist members
will probably meet in the Republican
house on Monday. The leaders all de-
clare the courts decision is wrong and
they will appeal from it to the people
at the next election.
This sounds much less warlike than
the threats made last week, upon
which we commented as follows in THE
SUNDAY REPUBLICAN:
The latest idiotic bluff from the
Kansas reyolutionists is to the effect
that they will not recognize any deci-
sion OF the supreme court on the con-
tested status of the legislature. The
result will be, however, that these loud
mouthed conspirators will lie down be-
fore the edict of the supreme court just
as meekly as they withdrew their wild
threats to blow up the state house and
kill the Republican legislators. Law
lsyet supreme in this country.

Project on Foot to Form an Interna

Project on Foot to Form an Interna-
tional Labor Union.
MILWAUKEE. March LA movement
looking towards the closer affiliation of
the various labor organizations has been
begun in New York. Circulars have
been received in this city calling ma
tional congress of the various bodies.
The circular in substance reviews the
labor problem and the danger that
threatens it from the large influx of
non-union and foreign labor, and asks
that all trades unions form an interna-
tional union with permanent headqnar-
ters at some central point. These or
carnations are to unite in grand
central organization which shall con-
troll all labor organizations in the
United States and Canada. .q
When strike in any branch Of the
trades is begun it must be first en-
dorsed by the supreme body Of that
line, and then by the central organiza-
ton, this body having unlimited power
and will bring all its influence to bear
on the firm against which organized
labor is slrrayed. An assessment Is to
be levied weekly upon each laboring
man in every line and the proceeds de-
voted to carrying on the strike. All
union men in the country would be
called out if necessary. The circular is
signed by committee presumably
from the eastern unions headed by
Charles 7. Hewett, New York.
The local labor unions refuse to either
acknowledge or deny the existence of
such request, but it is known that the
circular has been received here.

the naval appropriation bill and refused

by Mr.. Sherman. The vote on the
executive session was strictly party
one, but several Republican senators
who were not paired did not vote
much to the dissatisfaction and annoy
ance of those who supported the motion.

week he had been working at saw

man and engineer were engaged at the
boiler. Taylor deliberately lay down
on the log carriage, grasped the frame
work with one hand and the shaft with
the other, and pulled himself up to the
rapidly-revolving saw. His head was
instantly severed from the body, and
rolled down into the dust pit. The en-
gineer noticing a jar from the ma

found the bleeding trunk still lying on
the carriage.
