specisl Dispatch 20 the Daily Eagle
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. l-Nothing was
accom- plished at today's session OF The
house Both parties remained in the hail
all night. At 10 O'Clock this morning the
Republicans called the roll, and sixty-four
Republicans answered. The populists then
called their roll and fifty-nine answered
This included Howard of Shawnee. whose
same they put on the roll because he had
lied a contest against Sherman, a Repuh-
lican. on account of his being a postnas-
ter when elected. 1t also included Rice of
Coffey, whom the supreme court said was
not entitled TO a certificate. The three
Democrats did not answer TO the roll call
OF either party.
Tonight committee is in session, COM
posed of five men OF each party selected by
Chairmen Breidenthal Simpson and
Jones, Those on the part of the Demo
rrats are Jones, Orr, Harmon, Fitch and
Scott. The Republican and populist COM
mitteemcn are stalwarts Of their respective
parties. The hopes of those desiring peace
depends upon whether Democratic infiu-
snce is favorable to law and order-the
Republican house or the trump" house
aud whether the Democracy have any in
iuence with Governor Lewelling
Dispatches from Washington indicate
that the national Democratic leaders are
unit against the lawless doings of the
populists of Kansas yesterday. Senator
German has put himself on record already
as saying that the United States senate
would never admit a senator elected by
the "rump" legislature. The Democracy
of this state are wiring in here TO their
leaders, who are here to do all they can
with Governor Lewelling, to have him to
recognize the Republican house. He
said this afternoon that in his opinion
neither organization was legal Every
hours delay on his part is deemed to be
favorable to the Republicans.
The populists are somewhat depressed at
his putting them of so long. Jerry
Simpson says: Its sure thing. He will
recognize our legislature' But Duns-
more, their speaker, told your correspond
ant this evening that he wished the
governor would either fish or cut bait"
Speaker Douglass said today: Every
thing favors us l believe that we have
made no mistake" Ell Hoch maintains
his good nature through all the trouble.
He says: "Bight will prevail. The law
will be observed 10y US in everything we
do"
THE DOUBLE-HEADER.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 11-Today's turn of
she legislative kaleidoscope has brought
about an entirely unlooked-for and sur
prisiEg condition OF affairs. The double
bsrreled legislature tired itself out this
afternoon, and both sides consented to an
adjournment till tomorrow morning at
O'Clock. In the meantime joint confer
ence of the leaders will attempt TO patcn
mp peace. II was a weary wait. The first
days Legislative session began yesterday
at l:30 o'clock p. IN, and ended at 1890
o'clock this morning. This days session
commenced Immediately thereafter and
AN adjournment was reached at 2:3O
o'clock this Sfternoon-a stretch of
twenty-five hours, during which the
members remained on duty, with little to
eat and less sleep. The members passed
the night principally in the endeavor to
find comfortable positions Some made
no attempt to sleep and passed the time
la perpetrating practical jokes and telling
stories The Republicans, being mostly
urban members, dId not regard the loss of
sleep as much OF hardship. The popu-
lists. on the other hand, being mostly
farmers, began TO TO I aud blink =, early
- 10 O'Clock, but were unable to sleep un-
nterruptedly. on account of the noise and
occasional confusion. Speakers Douglass
and DunsmOre lay down in peace, side by
side, behind the speakers desk They
shared pair OF blankets aud laid their
weary heads upon the same pillow They
did not allow their political differences to
contribute TO the other discomfitures OF
the occasion.
