The Kansas Factions SEEM
ingly Farther Apart Than
Ever.
Gov. Lewelling Transmits a
Lengthy Message to the
. Populisr House.
Poor Prospects Of Further
Attempts at Settlement
of the Trouble.
Republicans Will Go Into the
Courts as Soon as
Possible.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 17.-Once more
have efforts to settle the difficulties in
the house and bring about satisfac-
tory arrangement of the problems of
legislation, which are daily greater,
failed, and now the two factions
are seemingly farther apart than ever.
The governors message was present
ed to the legislature today, but pos
sibly out of consideration for their ri
yals the PopuliSt house declined to
listen to the reading of the document,
which would fill page of an ordinary
newspaper, and it was ordered printed.
Whether there will be any further
attempts to bring about the settle
ment of the complications of the
house it is impossible to say,
but the prospects are certainly
not of the brightest. In the meantime
the members are unable to draw any
salaries. and as many of them (partic-
ularly Populists) are not possessors of
bank accounts. there is sure to be
trouble with thsir landlords before long.
This morning. soon after the two houses
met, the committee reported as follows:
Report of the Committee.
"Mr. Chairman: Your committee ap-
pointed to recommend plan for an adj
iustment of the differences between the
respective bodies claiming legal status
on this floor respectfully report that we
have held three sessions, and have can
vassed the entire situation fully and dis
passionately, but have failed to reach
any conclusion to submit to this meet
ing. Without making any recommenda-
ton whatever your committee asks to
be discharged"
This ended all efforts at compromise.
and the two organizations resumed
work as usual. A legislative appropria-
ton bill will soon be pushed through
the senate and PoDuliSt house under
suspension of the rules and sent to the
governor for his signature. An
ticipating this, the Republicans
are getting ready to jump it
into the supreme court, which would
bring the issue between the two
houses squarely up for adjudication,
and the most conservative Populists adj
! NIT that its decision will bring one
house or the other to standstill. 9th
ers, while they admit that the court
NAV give the Republicans temporary
advantage. declare that in the end the
court will find the Populist honse to be
bigger than any court. This matter,
however, comes only from extremists
WHO have advocated the unseating
process so as to get a sufficient
majority to remove Chief Justice
Horton and Associate Justice johnson
by impeachment. fortunately this ele-
ment could be counted on five fingers,
and nothing of the kind will be under
taken when the court decides the ques-
ton that will settle it. If the Popullsts
lose, which the lawyers say they will,
many will be reluctant to abandon the
fight, but their sober Judgment will
rule, aud they will quietly submit to
the Republican organization. and the
real work of legislation will then begin.
A PopuIIst Deserts.
Senator Taylor, of Wyandotte county,
a Populist; Senator O'Brien, of Sedg-
wick county, aud three Democratic
members of the lower house Joined
the Republicans this afternoon and
participated in their joint confer
ence. The Populists were taken
by surprise, and their long faces
gave evidence of their concern.
although no election followed, the
combine had 81 votes on joint ballot,
