The distress cry that sounds from
Louisiana should not be heard I'M
needed by the benevolent of this
city. No calamity that has hap
pened for quarter Of a century
appeals more strongly to the help
and sympathy of southern COM
munities. San Antonio owes it to
herself and to her we'll earned rep
utation for large hearted liberality
not to let the hours pass without
taking prompt and efficient meas
ures for the contribution and dis
patch of her relief.

Charlie Mitchell Detained.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16. - Charles
Mitchell, the pugilist who arrived
this morning on the Majestic has
not been allowed to land. Mayor
Wormser, of Quarantine, detained
him at the dock on the ground
that as an eX-cOnvict his landing
would be a violation of the law.
Mitchell at once engaged counsel
and will apply for writ of habeas
corpus.
Mitchell's counsel will contend
that his conviction in England does
not debar him from landing in
America, under the law, because
Mitchell was convicted of simple
assault, and not felony. Mitchell
has obtained a writ compelling Col.
Weber to produce him in court at
2 p. IN. today.

will, within a few weeks, be COM

will throw about two thousand
men out Of employment and will
have disastrous effect upon
northern Idaho. Miners fear that
a general closing down will sooner
or later lead to repetition of the
labor riots of last July.

Substitute for Sleighing
Kate Fields Washington.

1 saw good suggestion last
week for the impecunious young
man who wants to give his best be-
loved a sleigh ride without the ne
cessity of Drawing the livery stable
keeper for credit. A messenger
boy, mounted on a bicycle, was
making very fair time towing a
hand sled, on which his best girl
perched, in perfect comfort and
evident satisfaction. The arrange
ment lacks some of the advantages
of the single cutter and the 2:3O
road horse, but it is so cheap and
handy that it deserves cOnsidera-
ton. Pictures of this device in the
advertising pages of the magazines
would do a good deal to boom the
sale of the bicycle in the winter
months, when business naturally
becomes little slack.

THE KANSAS REBELLION.
Col. Hughes Still Declines to Obey
the Governor-Blood Ex-
pected tn Flow

TOPEKA, Kas., Feb. l6.-The Re
publican House is still besieged in
the representative hall and a force
of the state militia is still posted
about the capitol. Col. Hughes
has again declined to obey the
governors orders to eject the Re-
publicans, and the only resource
governor has, besides the regular
militia, are three companies of
troops, composed of Populists,
who of course sympathize with the
POpulist's objects. They would
doubtless make an attempt to
carry out an order to eject the
Republicans. Col Warner, who
has planned the republican cam
paign says CT these provisional
companies, "They are the governors
lambs, we are the wolves now and
would devOur them if given an OPP
portunity."
The outlook at this hour is a
belligerent one. The refusal of Col.
Hughes to obey the governors or
ders has baked in Populists pro-
gram and the governor will make
no statement as to his plans for
the day; but it is believed they
will include an order to the pro-
visional troops to eject the Repub-
licans. Should that attempt be
made it will be met with armed
resistance on the part of the Re-
publicans.
TOPEKA, Feb. &c. c. Ginger,
sergeant at arms of the Republican
House, has arrived in this city with
l.. c. Gum, of Labatte county, in
charge. Mr.. Gum was arrested at
Parsons yesterday on the charge of
contempt for having refused to
obey the subpoena to appear before
the Republican House elections
committee. Gum is a Democrat
and desires to test the legality of
the Republican House organiza-
ton.
Last night through his attorney
he appealed to the supreme court
for a writ of habeas corpus. He
was released on bail and the case
was set for hearing Friday. On
the decision in this case, the legal
status of the Republican House will
depend. The Republicans hope
to be able to hold possession of the
representative hall, until it is de-
cided.
TOPEKA, Hans, Feb. l6.-Sheritf
WilkersOn is swearing in a posse of
one thousand men, Ostensibly to
preserve the peace. He declines to
state his ultimate object, but it is
generally believed the posse is to
support the Republican position,
under the guise of preserving the
peace. a conflict may take place
when the posse is put to work.
TOPEKA, Feb. l6.-The POpulists
have practically abandoned the
field. They met at noon in the
basement of the capitol and deci-
ded to make no further attempt to
gain entrance to representative
hall

in the building at the time are
both dead. The loss is fully COW
