A REPUBLICAN MOVE.

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 1L-Just before the
adjournment of the house this afternoon
the Republicans adopted a resolution,
which is the basis for supreme court pro-
ceedings which they expect to institute
tomorrow, and which, if instituted, will
bring to settlement the question of
house organization. The resolution con-
tains formal demand that the popuiist
secretary of state turn over to the Repub-
lican house of representatives, AS the con-
stitutIonally organized body, all records,
depositions and other evidence in the con-
tested election cases, as required By law.
The secretary of state this evening declined
to obey the demand. Tomorrow morning,
unless in the meantime the joint confer
enCe committee which is considering
means TO reorganize the house arrives at
some conclusion, the Republicans will
institute mandamus proceedings in the
supreme court to compel the secretary of
state to show cause why he does not obey
the law The secretary of state having
made answer, the supreme court will de-
eide whether or not he must Curn over the
papers TO the Republican house, thus de-
Gliding whether that house is the constitu-
tionalIy organized one, The papers in the
case We're all prepared tonight and are
ready for presentation tomorrow.

GOVERNOR LEwELLlNG,s VIEW

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 1.-Goyernor Lew
elling made this statement to the AS
sociated Press representa- at late
hour tonight:
1T seems to be generally understood
that the governor is required to recognize
one or the other of the houses. Such is
not the fact. The only duty imposed upon
the governor by law is to receive the con-
current resolution adopted by the house
and the senate informing him that they
have been organized and are ready for the
transaction OF business. When such
resolution is presented to me 1t will be
time for me TO act. On Its face sucn II
resolution gives evidence of coming from
a constitutionally organized house aud
senate. 1t is not my duty to look beyond
the face of such IA resolution, or to inquire
into the legality of the organization OF the
other house"
When asked if this statement implied
the recognition by him of the populist
house, Governor Lewelling declined to
make an answer.
Chairman Breidenthal OF the populist
committee, when shown the governors
statement, said that the governor would
doubtless recognize the populist house.
Other pOpuliSt leaders conCurred in Mr..
BreidenthaPs opinion.

GOOD FOR PLACERVILLB
The Old Mountain Town Not In the
Hard Times Rut.
| rrI dorado PapubIioon

lei Dorado Republican.
The universal cry of hard times is
heard from one end Of the land to the
other, and the silver bill and the McKin-
ley bill are held up as scapegoats, and
picked at and pulled until only fragments
are left. Charity societies, and free lunch
and soup houses have been established to
feed the unemployed; tramps by the hum
dreG take possession of railroad trains
and 90 from one dead town to another
that is worse.
Why all this hue and cry? If Placer
vile is a fair index of the whole, there is
more in the alarm than the facts justify
and plain statement will prove the
truth of the assertion. No idle men can
be found on our streets, more buildings
have been erected the past season than in
the last twenty years, and business of all
kinds has been better than the average.
In addition to all this, done amidst the
sounds of alarm and fear OF bankrutcy,
anyone who was present at the M. h.
Church last Sunday evening and noted
the magnificent improvements recently
made, and heard the pastors statement.
would not have believed there was any
good reason for the cry of hard times.
He stated that four weeks before he had
commenced repairs on the church with
out dollar, and that improvements had
been made at cost of S798 %. a carpet
costing 500, and window shades at SIS
purchased, every dollar of which had
been paid except S25. a condition of affairs
unsurpassed in the flush times in the his
tory of California.
And yet the people had not stopped
giving. At the close of the services Judge
L, d. Merks stepped forward and pre-
sented the pastor, Rev. s. NJ. Driver, with
purse of $50, IL appreciation of his
labors in renovating and beautifying the
church, without the incubus of debt to
mar the enjoyment Of its use.

SULLIVAN (Ind.), Dec 24-William c..
Hultz, a prominent attorney, and for
merly Public Prosecutor, was assassin
ated by masked men this morning. The
assassin encountered HultZ on the street,
and fired point blank with shotgun,
wounding him in the right shoulder.
Hultz ran across the street for refuge in a
livery-stable, and just in the doorway re-
ceived the contents of the second barrel
of the shotgun in the back, dying in two
or three minutes. He lived long enough,
however, to call out to the men in the
stable that he had been shot by Sam
Willis.
The assassination was not matter of
much surprise, owing to the fact of the
intimacy between Hultz and the wife of
Willis. Three or four months ago Willis
lay in wait and found the couple in an
discriminating position at his.house. He
shot and wounded Hultz, but the latter
escaped, and left town. A few days ago
he returned.
About an hour after the shooting
Willis was met coming into town by a
Constable, ana arrested. He claims that
he is innocent of the shooting. Willis is
an ex-Sheritf of the county, and lives on
farm mile from town. He was di
vorced from his wife soon after the first
shooting of Hultz, and then brought a
damage suit against him. The suit has
not come to trial. Willis had refused an
offer of thousand dollars to compromise,
and had made threats to flush Hultz
When arrested this morning Willis took
the matter coolly, saying that it was news
to him. The evidence collected during
the day points strongly toward him as
the assassin.

LITTLE Rock (Ark.), Dec. M.-The ex-
pected in the railroad world has hap
pened. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe and the st. Louis and San Francisco
railroads, with their branches, the whole
comprising the Santa Fe system, have
been placed in the hands of three receiv-
ers, the order having been made by
United States Circuit Judge II. c. Cald-
well. The application was made by the
| Union Trust Company of New York,
trustees of the bondholders of the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe, and the Mer-
camille Trust Company of New York,
trustee OF the bondholders of the st. Louis
and San Francisco.
| The reeeivership met with no resist
ance on the part of the railroad compa-
MES and the arrangement was quickly
reached. The bills in both cases showed
the lines to be heavily involved, with
maturing obligations coming on soon.
1t was also shown that the interest due
January lst could not be paid and would
| be foreclosed.
In both cases the complainants' bills
went elaborately into figures and were
very full and voluminous. The bonded
Indebtedness aggregates S232, 000,000, as
follows: Sl50,0O0000 of first mortgage
bonds, S77, 100000 of Glass A, second
mortgage bonds, and S5,000,0 0O0 of class b,
second mortgage bonds. The interest
due January 1st will aggregate nearly
s., 100000, and the floating debt amounts
to about So, 900, making the total liza
bility about $40. 900.
EMPLOYEES WAGES TO BE PAID.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 24.-It has been ascer-
tanned that the receivers of the Santa Fe
have agreed that the creditors who have
advanced money to keep up the system
will be considered preferred creditors,
and that the wages of employees will be
paid the coming week. Receiver Wilson

with the other two receivers.
WILL HAVE NO EFFECT IN COLORADO.
DENVER, Dec. 24.-Collbran, General
Agent of the Santa Fe, says the appoint
ment of receivers will have no effect in
Colorado. When asked if he thought the
English stock holders of the Colorado
Midland would demand a separate re-
ceiver, Collbran replied: 'Not at all.
The cases are entirely different. The en-
tire stock of the Midland was bought by
the Santa Fe, and the English stockhold-
ers can do nothing. The only redress
they can have is to demand new re-
ceiyers in case they are dissatisfied with
those appointed by the courts. The Mid
land Terminals new road, being built TO
Cripple Creek, which is to be feeder OF
the Santa Fe, would not be affected, as
the money for its construction has all
been subscribed"

Member of an Ohio Company Under
Arrest at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-Henry B. Shields of
O., was arrested last night, on charge OF
kidnapping E. NJ. Byers of Pittsburg a
member of a wealthy iron house in this
city. The warrant was sworn out by
Mrs. Byers. Shields arrived in Chicago
yesterday, and registered at hotel under
an assumed name. After his arrest he was
admitted to bail in $4,000. The attorney
representing Mrs. Byers says that last
May Shields brought Byers from Pitts
burg to Chicago and placed him in charge
of DR.. Tallman, at the Great Northern
Hotel; that by various articles, Byers,
temporarily of weak mind, was in
famed against his wife, who for three
months vainiy tried TO ascertain his
whereabouts; that letters written to her
by her husband were never sent; that
after a long search Byers was found at st.
Paul in charge of female nurse, and re-
turned with his wife to Chicago, only to
be again taken away by DR.. Tallman
during the illness of Mrs. Byers. This
time Tallman and the nurse took Byers
to Montreal, and registered under false
names.
Since then Byers has been taken to
different parts of the country and
though he has drawn but little money
from the firm. about $4,000 mas been
supplied from some source and spent on
his account.
The attorney says Byers wants to go to
his wife, but is held in duress.
DR.. Tallman ridiculed the story of abb
duction and of Byers' insanity. He says
owing to his wite's peculiarities Byers
was unable to live with her, and became
sufferer of nervous prostration. On re-
turning to st. Paul he tried to live with
her fourteen days, but could stand it ng
longer. and told Tallman he was goino

a Dynamite Crank's Talk of Blowing
Up the Armour Institute.
CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-The Armour Insti-
tute, the grand gift of the wealthy pork
packer whose name it bears, has been
threatened with destruction by dyna-
mite crank, and it is said the same crank
has threatened the lives of P. D. Armour
and Rev. Frank Gunsaulus. President of
the institute and pastor of Plymouth
Church. Neither Armour nor Gunsaul us
will say word concerning the danger to
their own lives, but Gunsaulus has de-
clared that man once connected with
the institute has threatened it's destruc-
ton with dynamite When the threat
was made Gunsaulus succeeded in inter-
viewing the would-be destroyer, who
promised not to execute his threat. He
said that, counting on the warm friend
ship between Gunsaulus and Armour,
the crank demanded that Gunsaulus fur
nish him with money obtained from Ar
mOur. and when GunSauluS declined
threats were made to blow up the insti-
tute and also Armour and Gunsaulus.
Little Beatrice, the 12-year-old daughter
of DR.. Gunsaulus, stated two days ago
''that a man with a pistol has been follow
ing my papa around, and one day man
with light overcoat came to the house
and papa was afraid to have him around" ;"
This was the extent of Beatrice's infor-
nation, except the remark, MY father
told me that much about it,"
Tonight Gunsaulus refused to say any
thing about his personal danger, but said:
cit is true threats have been made to
blow up the institute with dynamite,
and man was discharged. who said, I
don't care, [ can fix the place any day
with little DYNAMITE He told him
further that talk of that kind would lead
to arrest. He said he didn't mean any
thing, and went away. L have seen him
