THE KANSAS TROUBLE.

Rumor OF Attempt to Assassinate the
GovernOr-Repubiican Win . Point.
TOPEKA. Kan. Feb. 1s.-Adjt. Gen. Artz
today suspended the following officers Of
the state militia: Lieut.. Bird, of Topeka;
Adjt. Nelson, of Topeka, and Pay
master Gen. Bonebrake. of Topeka.
The suspensions were not made
for disobedience of orders, but be-
cause the men were not sufficiently
in sympathy with the governor to ex-
plicitly carry out his orders. The captain
of the company at Kansas City, Kan,
whose company refused to come to To-
peka when ordered to do so by the gov
ernor. will also be suspended, as we'll as
number of other officers.
Topeka, Feb. 1S.-The startling rumor
was circulated this afternoon that an at
tempt would be made to assassinate Gov.
Lewelling. A telephone message received
at the sheriff's Office to the effect that his
presence was desired at the capitol to pro-
tect the governors life, strengthened the
force of the rumor. Sheriff Wilkinson
at once went to the capitol to investi-
gate. He found the governors Office
surrounded by guards and the corridors
filled with excited Populists. After much
inquiry he finally located the man who
said he would be the assassin and who
proved to be half witted fellow from
Cherokee county. After the sheriff ascer-
tanned the facts, he put the man out of the
building, disarmed him and told him to go
home. The sheriff did not consider the
case serious enough to warrant the mans
arrest.
The district court this morning sus-
tanned the motion of the Republican house
for a permanent injunction restraining the
state treasurer from paying any warrants
issued by authority Of the legislative ap-
preparation bill passed by the Populist
house. This is virtually recognition Of
the constitutionality of the Republican
houseand the members are correspondingly
jubilant. The attorney general filed notice
of an appeal to the supreme court. A ma
jority Of the Populist members had al
ready drawn the money coming to them
before the decision was rendered. In all
some $4,000 has been paid out by the
treasurer. The question now is. If the de-
cisiOn holds, whether the treasurer will
have to make the amount good.
A Democrat named l.. c. Gum has been
arrested by the Republican house for fail
ing to appear AS witness in a contest
case, in answer to a summons from the
Republican house. He has applied to the
supreme court for a writ of habeas corpus,
and the case comes up Tuesday as final
test Of the legality of the Republican
house.
The Populst chaplain of the senate at
the opening Of the session this morning
caused a sensation by his prayer. 1t was
as follows, verbatim: MAY God have
mercy on this treason-infected people.
Amen" A party of Popuiists from Law
renee tried to steal a march on the Repub-
licans last night by seeking to enter the
representative hall, but the Republicans had
taken the precaution to leave the hall in
the hands Of armed guards and the in
vaders were driven away. This action was
taken without the sanction of the governor
or the Popuiists. The last of the troops
have been Withdrawn and peace prevails.
