TOPEKA. Feb. IA. '93.


ED. VOICE:-It is now half past 8
o'clock. There is caucus gathering
in the senate chamber and while
waiting, thought I would write a few
lines. There is considerable excite
ment here just now. The RepubIi-
can house sent their sergeant-at-arms.
TO the DuttOn house at noon today
to arrest Ben Rich for contempt of
their house. So he, in company with
the fifteen who accompanied the pre-
tended officer, and possibly forty or
ffty other fellows, started for the
capitol. On the corner by the Cope
land twenty or twenty-five more Re-
publicanS rushed into the crowd to
capture Rich and take him to the
Copeland. A row ensued and some
Scrapping set in. The Republicans
got knocked out and gave up the Job.
They first said, before the row started.
that they demanded Rich to appear
at the Copeland. He refused to 90
and when they undertook to take
him bodily, the trouble commenced.
No one seems to know what the Re-
publicans commenced this row for.
1t looks very much to me that trou-
ble is near at hand.
Several laws are now passed and
ready for legal test by the courts
and why the Republicans are irving
now to bring on war aud bloodshed is
astunner. If this leads to any ser,
ious trouble they must shoulder the
responsibility, as they are the aggres-
Sors. 1t sounds and looks quite war
like. Men are skipping through the
building, gathered in little knots
taking low and general uneasiness
prevails.
The life of Gov. Lewelling was
threatened couple of hours ago.
The party who made the threat will
probably be arrested. It is not so
funny as it might be, but maybe it
will all blow over. l have. lots of
faith in the good sense of the Kansas
people, but todays action has shaken

perS are now singing very different
tune to the one they sang during our
last campaign. These same papns
and Republican speakers told US from
the peeSS and stump that the farmers
were exceedingly prosperous and
would at times particularize as to
some farmers vast wealth. We re-
member seeing list of farmers in the
Wichita Eagle whose holdings were
accredited as being from $1,000 to
$4,000 each. From twenty years resi-
dence in Kansas and personal knOwl-
edge, we doubted much the truth rel
atiye to those S60,0O0 farmers and now
the Republican press is half admit
ting that their great claims to the
prosperity Of Kansas farmers were
false. You see. those Republican
speakers were then standing up for
Kansas and if lying was necessary
to accomplish their deceptive under
takingS it was all right. Now, since
the "POpuliSt mob has killed the
Stand-Ip crowd with its own medi-
cine, the Republicans are willing to
tell the truth-SOmetimeS.
Yes, our gOverner-the peoples gov
ernOr-and the legislature are referred
to as revOlutiOniStS, anarchists, etc.
has anyone seen or heard anything of
revolutionary character from any
one at Topeka, except from Bill Hig-
gins, a Republican who drew his gun
on a POpulist?
During the campaign we were prom
ised relief by Republicans if we would
send them to Topeka. Well, quite a
gOOdly number Of them got There and
what do We see? A minority sitting
back in the tugs, bent on clogging
legislation in behalf of the taxpayers
OF Kansas, and telling the people that
any laws these revOlutiOnists may
pass will be disregarded by the courts.
The people dOnOt doubt this, prOvid-
ed Republican courts are to be the
judges, though there will be few Re-
publican judges to pass on these laws
if the present Republican contingent
does not make better record for rec
titude in the future than it has In the
past.
The opposition press is poking a
good deal Of fun at the proposed meas
ure Of Governor Lewelling to create a
state board Of loan commissioners.
Now, we would like for some of these
papers to show valid reason for Op-
posing such measure. Why, if the
state Of Karsas can negotiate for its
taxpayers loan at five or six per cent
to the borrower when he indemnitles
it, is it not better for the whole peo-
pie than to pay five or six per cent to
certain capitalists and then pay lot
of uncOnsciOnable land agents five or
six per cent commission for the
blessed privilege of being thus
skinned. If every intelligent farmer,
who is not totally party blind, will
notice the source of this oppOsi-
tiOn, they will perceive that the
howl comes chiefly from banks, land
agents and men who live off the earn
ings of Others
To our mind it is well for the peo-
pie of Kansas to remember that it
will take them many years to pay the
45,OOO,OOO they owe and that their
annual interest of $40, 100000 will take
much of their loose change. This be-
ing true, it behooves US to get the
best rates on loans possible, cOmmen-
surate with good business principles.

WARLIKE.
The Two Factions at Topeka
Come TO Blows.
THE MILITIA CALLED OUT.
A Badly Mixed Middle.

The situation at Topeka has become
serious. Ga Tu 9Sdly the deputy SER
geant-at-arms of the Douglass wing
of the house, under instructions from
that body, attempted to arrest Ben
G. Rich, chief clerk of the POpuliSt
house, on some trumped-up charge.
Friends of Rich surrounded him and
prevented them from taking their
man. A "scrap" took place and the
Republica Is were WOrSted. This
brought on hOStilities and both sides
made preparations for further trou-
bic.
The POpulist house met on WedneS-
day mOrding, but shortly adjourned.
leaving the hall in possession Of
guards, with instructions to lock the
doors and permit no one to nteEbut
members of the two COntesting wings
Of the house and the employees of the
POpuliSt house. About 10 o'clock the
Republicans went in a body to the
state house, OverpOwered the guards
and burst in the doors with Sledge
hammers and took possession of the
hall. Then the POpuliStS turned off
the heat and gave orders to their
guards to allow no one to take in
meals to those inside.
The governor called on the sheriff
to preserve the peace, but refusing,
he called out the militia.
A detachment was stationed in
and about the state house to preserve
order under command of Col. Hughes,
who seems to be in sympathy with the
occupants of the hall and has allowed
them to procure their meals by lower
ing strings out of windows, and noti-
fed the Republicans that he would
resign before he would eject them
from the hall.
The governor has ordered the en-.
listing of five extra companies of mi
litia, three Of which have been organ.
lied, with H. C. Lindsay, of Topeka,
A. j. Mcdonald, Parsons and Mr.
Orr, Olathe, as captains.
Early in the contest the Republi-
cans appealed to the Santa Fe rail-
road officials to send the shopmen to
assist them. If there was ever a
doubt that the Republican wing is
being backed by the railroads, this
incident ought to settle the question.

CHINESE GIVEN TEN DAYS.
Tho Vice Consul at San Francisco Beliey

Tho Vice Consul at San Francisco Believes
That They Will Register.
The Chinese consul general at San Francisco
is in receipt Of telegram from the Chinese
minister at Washington instructing him to in
form the Chinese that they must take care of
their individual cases themselves If arrested un-
der the provisions Of Law. He informed the
consul that immunity for ten days was guar
anteed by the stay of proceedings granted by the
court But after that time had expired the
Chinese must expect to be arrested.
No instructions have yet been received BY the
federal officials, and they have, therefore, taken
no action.
The vice consul. when asked IL he did no,
look forward to some action Of Congress to
make the law less Al bitrary or positive, replied
1--WE think that the President will do something
in our behalf. Almost all expressions we have
received are to the effect that immediate action
will not be taken in the line of deportation. and
that further time will be given for the Chinese
to register. feel satisfied that If further time
is given the Chinese will avail themselves of the
opportunity and abide by the requirements Of
the law"
1t is learned that the application made to the
San Francisco health officers for 600 permits
for the removal OF the bodies of that number
of Chinese inferred in that city for transporta-
ton to China is only the carrying out Of a
regular custom. 1t is a long time since any
bodies have been shipped to China hence the
demand for such large number of certificates.
The bones are taken TO China so as to be near
the homes Of the different relatives Of the
dead

RESCUED JUST IN TIME.
Shipwrecked Sailors Saved just as They
Were Giving Up.

Shipwrecked Sailors Saved just as They
Were Giving Up.
One of the most miraculous rescues ever re-
corded by Gloucester fisherman was reported
by Capt. John McInnis Of schooner Edith Nc
Innis on her arrival last evening from Grand
Banks. Early yesterday morning whilo run
ming under close-reefed sails twenty miles
southeast Of Cape Cod she sighted some dis
lance away vessel flying signals OF distress,
laboring heavily and with the sea breaking
over her. Reefs were shaken out and all sail
crowded on, but before the McInnis could
reach the disabled craft she sank
One OF the crew at the masthead sighted
something in the water and running close those
on the McInnis found it to he two men on tho
bottom Of a boat. The sea would wash them
of, when they would swim back and regain
their hold.
dory was launched with great difficulty and
Capt. Mclnnis, with two members Of his crew,
succeeded In rescuing the TWO men, who were
all but exhausted They could not have held
out two minutes longer.
After being brought on board nourishment
was given them. They revived sufficiently to
tell their story. The lost vessel was the
schooner La Martin, Capt Eben Eaton, with
crew OF three men, belonging in Deer Isle. Ne
She sailed Monday from Green's Landing for
New York with cargo Of cut stone. After
leaving they had moderate, thick weather until
Tuesday evening, when it commenced to blow
heavy from the southeast. About midnight
the vessel hove to, making good weather until
8 o'clock next morning, when she was boarded
by heavy sea. Her cargo shifted and she be-
came unmanageable.
When the McInnis was sighted colors were
set. but tho vessel suddenly lurched and went
down, carving one man with her. The
drowned seaman was Hiram Howers Of Deer
Isle.

Insurance Companies in Kansas.

The attorney general Of Kansas rendered an
opinion for the guidance Of the state insurance
department to the effect that every insurance
policy on Kansas property must absolutely be
written in the state, and that every company's
agent looking after Kansas business must re-
side in the state. The opinion is based on the
nonresident state law, which provides that any
insurance company authorized to do business
by the superintendent Of insurance is pro-
hibited from allowing any person who is a non
resident to issue any policy upon Kansas prop
erty. Superintendent of Insurance SNYDER
says that tho effect OF the opinion will be to
compel every company doing business here To
establish state agency in Kansas. At present
but one company has such an agency.
