MUDDLR OF THE KANsANs.
Trsaeurer-Elect Biddle Unable to Give
Bond.

Topeka. KAN. Jan. 13.-The supreme
court decided this afternoon that it had no
jurisdiction in the mandamus proceedings
instituted by the republicans to compel the
secretary OF state TO hand the election re-
turns over to George L. Douglass, the
republican speaker.
The bond Of State Treasurer-elect Biddle
has not yet been made complete and no at
tempt has been made to have IL approved
before the populist executive council. The
republican treasurer is still in full possess
accounts, which he had closed to turn over
to his successor. The muddle that the
Legislature has been placed in has frightened
those who had already signed Mr.. Biddle's
bond. and they are Withdrawing their
names.
THE PoPULIsT CLERK RECOGNIZED.
As was expected by all when Chief Clerk
Rich Of the popuhst House addressed the
lieutenant governor at IL O'clock this morn
ing announcing that he had q message
from the House. he was promptly
Senator Scott trepublicsu) appealed
from what he termed the arbitrary decision
OF the lieutenant governor, and a vote was
taken as to whether the message should
be received. The action OF the lieutenant
governor was sustained by a vote OF % to
16, two populists, Messrs. O'Bryan and Tay-
lor, voting with the republicans. One re-
publican was absent. Messrs. Taylor and
O'Bryan, the populists, filed their written
protests. Speaker Dunsmore Of the popu-
list House made statement that the
House concurrent resolution, No. 6, had
been received by the Senate and laid over
under the rules. This was the first an
nouncement of the official position of the
Senate and was received with loud cheers
on the populist side. Motions were made
simultaneously on the republican and popu-
list side for a recess. At o'clock both
houses adjourned because of a request from
Gov. Lewellyn made privately TO the lead
ers Of the two houses that committee Of
six from each wait upon him after dinner.
The request from the governor, it ia
thought, means that all differences will be
settled before the House meets again.

Mckinley Still Preaching Protection
TO Ohio's Wool Growers.
COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 13.-Gov. Mckinley,
In an address before the Ohio State Wool
Growers Association last night, made his
first public utterance on the results Of the
election and the policy c: the Republican
party in the future. Among other things
be said:
II do NOS know what will happen TO the
wool growers under the legislation that
will come within the next administration.
l do not. however, believe In giving up the
fight after one engagement and one defeat.
The wool growers have had Ii their own
way every time since 1857, and more
than once have demonstrated their power
in Ohio. do not believe In free
raw material. do not believe in having
commodities free at one end of the factory
and tariffsd at the other end You are
entitled to the highest protection and you
should express that conviction in every
possible way. / am here to say that in my
opinion the great policy Of protection is the
true policy and believe thRtit is just as dear
20 the American people as it ever was before
l am rather inclined to think that the DEM
ocratic members of congress are committed
to Il ee wool but Ohio is not committed to
free wool. You are 10 q most critical period
OF this great industry. l do NOS know how
you feel about IL, but have not lost any of
my courage"

from the fierce heat Of the burning she !, ,
and over l. 400 men, women and children

under foot. Most of the fatalities resulted
from suffocation, as a strong wind drove the
smoke into the temple. At the time of wrir-
ing the roll OF missing numbered $40, and
IL may be that some Of these were burned
beyond recognition. The disaster is the
worst that has occurred In South China for
