Republicans Commence Proceedings
Against the Secretary of State.
TOPEKA, Jan. 13.-Mandamus proceed
ings against Secretary of State Osborne

compel him to hand over to George L.
Douglas, Speaker of the Republican
House of Representatives, a certified

the Kansas House of Representatives on
file in his office.
the returns were compiled by ex-Sec-
rotary of State Higgins and show "a
legally elected Republican members of the
Legislature, a majority Of two, entitled
to certificates.
Mr.. Douglas is the Speaker chosen by
the Republican organization, and the OBJ
ject of the suit is to obtain from the court
a decision as to whether or not the Re-
publican organization Is the House of
Representatives. The court laid the
matter aside for consideration to-day.
The Republicans have no doubt that
the courts decision will be favorable to
them, and in this way hope to check mate
the latest move of the Populists, which
resulted last evening in the recognition
of the Populist House by Gov. Lewelling.
Excitement, however, is great, and
resort to violence is feared. Many of the
Republicans say they will not leave the
hall until driven out by the militia
The arms and ammunition in the State
armory have been quietly moved since
Tuesday to another part of the city. The
armory is in the Capitol square. Some of
the Republicans believe regiment of the
State militia will be called out to drive
them from the House Of Representatives.
They declare they will not yield or leave
unless they are removed by force.

PIrTsBURG, Jan. $50 far the trial of
Hugh j. Dempsey for completely in the

analytical chemist, of the firm of Hunt &
Clapp. He has been engaged for some
time in making analyses in the cases of
several Homestead workmen who died
under suspicious circumstances.
He refuses to reveal anything as to the
results of his examination, but it is
learned from an authoritative source
that arsenic in considerable quantities
was found in one stomach, traces of GRO
ton oil in another, and traces of arsenic
and other mineral poisons in other bodies
eNhumed
The evidence of DR.. Cooper yesterday
was pretty positive as to the poisoning of
one of the men who worked at Home
stead by arsenic. DR.. Cooper said aft er
he left the stand that he had no doubt
that the man Spayde, whom he treated,
had been dosed with arsenic.
Then it didn't surprise you, Doctor, to
learn that arsenic had been found in the
bodies of Homestead men?" was asked.
NO" was DR.. Cooper's reply. "Of
course they found arsenic, and other
poisons, too"
The prosecution has naturally taken all
sorts of precautions lest this strong link
in their case should get out before the
proper time, but this, the first authorita-
tive announcement of the results of the
post -mortem examination will be con-

Capt. Hunt sat in Court all through

good plan to legalize the illegal acts Of
officials, but it was constantly done, and
he did not see why it should be done
for B rooklyn. With his amendment he
thought that the bill would not multi Y
the pending indictments.
Senator Asphalt protested against the
passage of the bill. He said that Brook

city officials who had plainly been dere-

for them. This was Il Brooklyn affair and
Brooklyn could manage it without inter
ference. A prominent Brooklyn lawyer
had telegraphed him that the bill would
nullify the indictments which had been
found. He could not vote for the bill.
Senator O'Connor said that he sup

proposed would be satisfactory.
Senator Asphalt declared that the bill

whole $50, 900.
Senator McCarren said the money had

HE CONFESSES ARSON.
McKenna duplicates Two Others Solely
Through Revenge.

New YORK, Jan. 13.-Thomas McKenna,
a laborer with a very bad record, who is
SO years old, and lives at 3O1 East 6lst
street, this city, has confessed to Police
Inspector Mclaughlin that on September
% last he burned the house Mt East
Chester, N. Y, occupied by Michael Sui
livan and his wife Kate.
He says he was hired to set fire to the
house by Mrs. Sullivan, and that he was
to secure $500 for SO doing. The Sulli-
vans had their furniture insured in the
State of Pennsylvania Insurance Com
pany for $4,000. After the burning of
the home they collected from the COM
pany $2.200,S0.
Mckenna admits that his confession is
prompted solely because Mrs. Sullivan
gave him only $50, il stead of the $500 sh {
had promised him.
The police have learned that Sullivan
and his wife have been placed in custody,
at East Chester

Temple on a Chinese Holiday.
SAN Francisco. Jan. ia Canton
correspondent sends this account of ter
rible disaster in Il country town about so
miles from Canton, which occurred early
last month, and resulted in the loss of
nearly 1900 lives:
A band of robbers made raid on the
village of Kan Ii, in the Shin Hing dis
trict. They first levied a tribute of sew
eral thousand taels on the priests of the
temple.
The latter had just received large offer
ings from the people whoIwere celebrating
holiday with a dramatic entertainment
under big shed temporarily erected in
front Of the temple. The angry robbers
applied the torches to this shed and the
people in panic rushed into the temple
for refuge.
The main entrance of the temple, which
was of wood, caught fire from the fierce
heat of the burning shed, and over !, 400
men, ewomen and children were either
burned, smothercd or trampled under
foot. Most of the fatalities resulted from
sutfocation, as strong wind drove the
smoke into the temple.
At the time of writing the roll of
missing numbered 1, 940 and it may be
that some of these were burned beyond
recognition. The disaster is the worst
that has occurred in south China for sew
eral years.

A CHILDISH tale has come from In

Harrison in several of the western

which overwhelmed the republican
party in November cannot be explained
away nor belittled by such partisan
romance. All the Blaine leaders in the
land could not have averted this revolu-
ton. The authors of the Indiana story
admit that the.republicans of that state
obtained from the party's headquarters
all the money they wanted and this is
doubtless true of the party leaders.

JOSEPH GILLOTT, member of the
well known firm of makers of Tsteel
pens, is now in this country and has
been giving tip about the use of pens.
He says steel pen will last for months
with careful USE but the important
thing is this: IF your pen gets scratchy
and doesn't write well, don't cast it
tside for new one. That is folly.
The pen is not worn out, but simply
tired. Give it a rest for day or two;
then hold it in a gaslight for perhaps
fifteen seconds, not longer, and resume
your writing. If you are not pleasantly
surprised at the results, I'll set myself
down as poor prophet"

THE inaugural address of the populist
governor of Kansas is about the most
demagogical utterance that has yet
been promulgated, even by any of the
agitators of his party. He lays down
the revolutionary principle that the
people are greater than the law or the
statutes in managing their affairs, and
where these are found to conflict with
what the people conceive to be Their
rights, no heed should be paid to them
He glibly denounces those who ride il
gilded carriages with liveried servants
and proclaims that the rich have nc
right to the property that was created
oy the labor of the poor. The report
comes from Kansas that the populisr
governors extreme views created con
siderable uneasiness, even among the
members of his own party.

THERE has been good deal of loose
work at Washington under the present
administration, but nothing quite so
bad as that of Superintendent Porter in
the census department. Porter never
was fit for the place to which he was
appointed and he has conspicuously..a and
extensively demonstrated this over and
over again. The eleventh census will
cost, when the work is completed.
about SS,00O,OOO, fully $4,000 more
than the previous census with less accu-
rate and less satisfactory results. Por-
ter undertook to collect statistics about
every known and unknown thing and
subject and he has more than ex-
hausted the appropriation without the
end of the work being in sight.
