Another Dead Law,


From the Lawrence Journal
There is complaint from all parts of
the state to the effect that the game law,
passed last winter, Is violated most
grossly. There is no doubt of it. A law
as severe and as senseless as the present
game law of Kansas will never be en-
forced. To prohibit, under denalty of a
fine o. SO, u man from hunting on the
farm of 9 friend when that friend is per-
fectly willing for him to hunt there, is
carrying matters just a little too far,
even for Kansas.

Members of Various Organizations Meet
at Louisville.
LOUISVILLE, KY, May 9.-The Repub-
lican leaders of the various national Re-
publican organizations continue to ar
rive. 1t is estimated that there will be at
least 5000 strangers in the city. Bust
ness houses and public buildings are dec
GRATED with flags and bunting, and the
Democratic stronghold is assuming noli-
day attire in honor OF the Republican Wis
itors- The Republican national commit
tee will hold an informal meeting tonight,
but it is not probable they will elect Off
GERS before tomorrow or Thursday. The
national league of Republican clubs meets
tomorrow and will elect officers Thursday.
The League of College Republican clubs
meet for the same purpose Thursday af-
ternoon.
Candidates for president OF the Ma
tlonal Republican league are becom-
ing numerous. 1t is announced that |.
Trumbol, California, is in the field. A
delegation arrived from that state last
night and decided this morning to put
him in the field. 1t is also announced
that ex-senator John G.. Spooner, Wis
consin. will contest for the Office. The
Illinois delegation will come in body
tonight with its candidate, W. w. Tracy.
The Ohio delegation is trying to capture
it for Squire. 1t is reported that H. NJ.
DeYoung, of California, is to make a
fight for the craftsmanship of the national
committee Though this is denied in
some quarters.
1t is possible that President Clarkson of
the National Republican league may not
be able to deliver the annual address. He
has been i'll all afternoon and was unable
to see callers. He is suffering from an at
tack similar to that which prevented his
speaking at Buffalo last fall. 1t is a spe-
cies of indigestion. He sent out word to-
night by Mr.. Mckee, of the National
committee, that under no circumstances
would he accept the Office OF president of
the league for another term.
A caucus of half dozen members of
the National committee was held tonight
and after it adjourned Manley announced
that Carter of Montana will continue in

BEHRING SEA COURT.
MI. Coudert of Counsel for the United

MI. Coudert of Counsel for the United
States Concludes His Argument.
PARIS, May 9.-Coudert, OF counsel for
the United States, continued his argu-
ment today in the Behring sea hearing.
He quoted from the counter case of Great
Britain, which, he argued, virtually con-
firmed his contention OF pelagic sealing
gradually destroying the seal species.
He read and commented on the evidence
of London furrieFs, showing that the seals
captured by pelagic hunters were chiefly
females.
He commended that the modus vivendi
was temporary abdication of American
rights which the United States confidently
left the tribunal of arbitration to uphold
In dealing with the question of damages
advanced by Great Britain, Mr.. Coudert
said the British claims with respect of
the prospective catch was untenable.
When Mr.. Coudert finished his speech,
Baron De Courcel, president of the
tribunal, said to him:

liveliness and humor with which you have
carried us over what would otherwise been

LONDON, May 9.-The house Of COM

mittee of the whole on the Irish home
rule bill. G.. c. T. BARLEY, Conservative,
moved to insert the words Subordinate

clause OF she bill read. son and after the
appointed day there shall be in Ireland a
legislature subordinate to Parliament,
etc. -
Gladstone said Bartley's motion had
overstepped the bounds of parliamentary
rules.
BARLEY appealed to the chairman, and
the chairman decided that the words were
admissible. Gladstone thereupon de-
nounced the amendment as implying dis
trust of the Irish legislature on the part Of
parliament. After considerable debate
the amendment was rejected by vote Of
292 to PSI.

HARRIS LAST STATEMENT.
-
He Solemnly Declares Himself
an Innocent Man.
HIS REVIEW OF THE CASE.
Was the Action of the Court Justified
by Facts?
The Evidence Is Canvassed-Ee Refers to
Giving Himself Up, to the Preferred
Means Of Escape, and Refusal
of Executive Clemency.

ALBANY, N. Y, May 9.-Private funeral
services were held over the body of Car
lyle Harris in the prison at Sing Sing this
morning, at which only the mother and
brother attended. A dramatic incident
in connection with the service was the
dropping into the coffin in accordance
with Harris directions, of an affidavit by
one of the jurors in the case in the appli-
catian for a new trial. After the services
the body was put on board the train and
started for Northfield, Mass, where the
burial will occur.
After the services harris last state
ment sent by the warden to the prison
superintendent of the state was given
out. Harris in this, his last writing,
opened with reference to q review OF his
case by the governor. He canvaSses the
review, refers to giving himself up when
he learned of a warrant for his arrest, re-
ours to the refusal of proffered means to
escape from Sing Sing, and then says re-
gard1ng the refusal of executive clemency:
s',rhe action OF the court is not iusti-
fed by the facts in the case, and hence
public outcry must be silenced by SEEM
ing justification of the court outside the
facts. There is an idea in the minds of
MANY that at the time of my wife's death
desired a marriage with some other
woman. Such person was never found,
nor does she exist. No one had so many
reasons, all sentiment and love aside, for
desiring my wife to live as l had. She
would have brought me money and pro-
fessional success. She would have graced
my home and had | known of her sad
habit it would have been my happiness
to shield and cure her. May God in his
mercy bless and guard those whom L
leave behind and leave them at peace.
And now, face to face with the greatest
mystery known to man, knowing that no
concealment or untruth can mitigate my
end, do solemnly declare 1 am Innocent
OF the crime for which l am condemned
to die. - (Signed)

In The WHITE CITY.
Many of the Buildings Not Yet in Shape
for Exhibition.

Many 'of the Buildings Not Yet in Shape
for Exhibition.
CHICAGO, May 9.-Since the day the
Presid mt opened the fair, there has been
no day when the attendance was larger
and the weather more propitious. Actual
figures could not be learned this evening
but they undoubtedly tar surpass any
previous day. From early morning until
late thi, afternoon thousands crowded
through the gates.
The first business which came before
the national commission this afternoon
was the petition of Phoebe Couzins of
Missouri, setting forth her claims with
regard to membership. The Judiciary
commission reported that under the act
creating commission Miss Couzins can
not be regarded in any sense a member.
This settles her status unless she takes
other action.
Reports from committees on work on
different buildings was then received. In
the Fisheries building the work was re-
ported far advanced. The report of the
committee on livestock was not encour-
aging as the grounds and buildings OF
this department were not ready, though
the chief of the department thinks there
is ample time and that he will have all in
readiness by the time they are needed.
ACCORDING TO MS report uOb d Single eA-
hibitor is yet in attendance, nor are there
any exhibits. The date of entry for
horses and cattle is therefore changed
from June 10 to July 10. and for sheep
from July l to August L.
The mines and mining exhibit is prob
ably the most advanced on the grounds.
The committee finds installation almost
complete.
The committee on forestry reports de-
plorable state of affairs in that depart
ment. Chairman St. Clair stated that no
one competent to have charge of that in
teresting exhibit has been appointed.
The building and grounds were in an out
of the way place, roadway had not even
been made to them and no provision made
for visitors in the building, and there w s
otherwise a deplorable lack of proper
management in the Forestry division.
Mr.. st. Clair laid the matter before the
commission in such vigorous manner
that motion was Immediately made fix
ing time for consideration of the matter.
The report on the electrical department
showed the work there was very back
ward This was caused in part by the
delay of exhibitors who have been devot-
ing all their energies to installing the
great dynamos in power houses. The
committee found the electric building
magnificent in proportions, well adapted
and all the space assigned.
