note that Josephus Daniels writes
from Washington to bis paper that
s'every Democrat in both branches

to see these nominations confirmed
although we believe it may be some

Hutchinson VS.. MIchIean.

TOPEKA, December 29.-The state board of
railroad commissioners has made public
their decision in the celebrated Hutchinson
salt case, in which the salt companies charged
that the Kansas railroads discriminate in
rates on salt in the interest of Michigan salt
and against the product of the Hutchinson
works. The Kansas Salt company charged
that in their discrimination the railroads
charged to 8 mills per ton per mile on
Michigan salt to points in Kansas and s to
IS mills per ton per mile on Kansas salt to
the same points.
In the decision the commissioners say the
railroads have already voluntarily made a
special low rate on slack coal to the Hutch
inson salt works for the benefit of the salt
company and that the railroads are not TO
blame because it costs more 10 produce salt
in Kansas than 1t does in Michigan. The
commissioners say they do not wish to be a
party to running out Michigan salt, which
would be done if they should reduce the rate
from Kansas fields below possible competi-
ton. The commissioners further said that
several of the roads against whom the COM
plant was fled, including the Union Pacific,
Burlington, st. Joseph & Grand Island, M.
X. d T., X. c. w. d n. W., Fort Scott q
Memphis, and the Frisco, do not reach
Hutchinson and they are powerless to put in
joint rate for salt from that point. The
petition was therefore denied.

Topolobampo Troubles.

TOPEKA, KAN, January 2.-There is trouble
ahead for prominent men connected with
the Sinaloa colony of Americans in Mexico.
The protector and the head of the Topolo-
b,:mpo scheme is New Yorker, and he has
been notified to appear before the board of
directors at Enterprise, Kan, January 2,
and make arrangements to protect the GOO
colonlsts there.
The Kansas Sinaloa company. trustees for
all improvements that have been made, now
insist that the credit foncier scrip issued the
colonists be taken up, giving them in ex-
change money of the United States.
The directors claim that the conditions of
the grant from the Mexican government
have not been fulfilled.
1t will be difficult for the promoters to
meet the requirements made of them until,
as claimed, a New York publisher, who is
backing them, can put up $4,000 Mr..
Hoffman and Mr.. Breidenthal, the officers
of the Kansas Sinaloa company, propose to
bring this scheme to business basis. They
control the canal and railroad franchise and
propose to control the colony. They claim
they have invested their money and that
they are gong now on to New York to not
only protect themselves, but all who may
have been induced to 60 down to that couA-
try.

PopuIIst Conference.

INDIANAPOLIS, December 29.-An impor-
tant meeting of the populist leaders through
out the country is being held here, at which
an effort will be made to devise some means
of bringing into the party fold all the indus
trial organizations, of whatsoever name,
throughout the west and south.
All the prominent alliance leaders, as well
as the president of the Farmers Mutual
Benefit organization, have been invited to
attend, and are expected. The idea of the
conference originated with National Chair
man Taubeneck, and the committee of the
peoples party in each state took hold OF it,
and FOR two months have been in CORES
pondence with leadinH lights, urging their
attendance.
It is said that the farmers of the south and
west are members of the several different
organizations, some political and others
non-political, and that this fact has been the
most prolific source of weakness against
which the populists have had to contend. A
final effort will be made through the leaders
in attendance to incorporate all these organ
izations into the peoples party, which will
then make formal overtures to the labor Or
carnations, the object being to get all the
farmers and organized men into a common
party
There is a strong sentiment among the
leaders In favor of making overtures to the
prohibition party by agreeing to incorporate
In future state and national platforms pos

clared of all the electric linemen in the en-
ploy of the Toledo Electric Light, Western
Electric Light and Power, Toledo Electric

companies for o'clock a. m, but the men
went out the evening before.
They gave no warning of what they pro-
posed to do, and the city YVES unaware that
there vas any trouble until the lights all
over the city went out and the street cars
were stop ID. The lInemen held meeting
which las d nearly all night, and they
finally decided to fight Until the companies
granted an increase of 10 per cent. in wages.
All day the companies had pen out re-
pairing the cuts in the wires which caused
the darkness. The city is still dark, and the
strikers are cutting faster than repairs can
be made.
During the day the two electric light COM
panies made attempts to restore their cir
cults, but the tampering with the wires
continued and no Roadway was made.
Several of the Toledo street electric wires
were down, but repairs we're made and cars
were running again as usual.
Michael Donovan. a lineman in the en-
ploy of the Toledo Light company, was ar
rested on suspicion of having cut the wires.
Bail was refused him. Other arrests are ex-
pected to follow.

''We hereby request all and each of you to

United States senators in your respective
states. We caution you against fusion with
any of the two dominant parties. Mako
square fight for our principles. Vote for no
man unless you know he will advocate and
defend them IN the senate. Wehave arrived
at the point in our movement where we must
make square stand-up fight for principles.
If the two dominant parties want to fuse on
a candidate to defeat us. let them do so.
The sooner they do that the better it will be
for US. You cannot afford to consider the
personal interests of any individual. no diff
ference how good or great he be, that will
leave tinge of barter, traffic or compro-
mise attached to our party or principles.
The people look to you to carry out the
promises made in the last campaign, and
unless you do your utmost in that direction
you will fail to do your full duty. We also
kindly request that the peoples party, state,
county and local committees in every state

Numerous Fires.

OMAHA, NEB., December ga half mil
lion dollars loss in this city by different fires
occurring at about the same time. Free
land, Loomis q Co had q stock amounting
to $4,000, insured for $4,000 Orchards
stock was worth $120, 0O0; insurance $50, 600
The building was valued at $50, 900, insured
for $T5,0 900. The losses of the smaller tan
ants viii swell the total to the amount named.
SNew HILL, ALk.-Fire broke out here
and destroyed every business house in town
except one The total loss is $25, 600; insur-
ance half
CAMDEN, S. C.-Fire here, which destroyed
property to the value of 81, 900, is supposed
to have originated from a lamp explosion.
A storm was prevailing and very probably
saved large portion of the town from de-
struction. The losses exceed the insurance.
CHESTER, ILL.-The Menard Manufacture
ing company's foundry in the prison yards
is burned to the ground, entailing loss of
$50, 600 Il Is thought the fire was the work
of an incendiary convict, and that it was the
outgrowth of the recent strike among the
convicts.

emit trouble is the contention over the posi-

rhsv See Flaws in the Law.


At the convention of county attorneys held
in Topeka last week several Of them advo-
Gated law giving the probate judges and
justices of the peace limited power to act In
enforcing the prohibitory law. By the pres
emit law, the responsibility and authority de-
wolves almost entirely on the county Attor-
neys, and provision for the lessening OF
their duties in the matter would meet with
their approval.
The association recommended the repeal
of the law which confers upon the county
attorney the power to subpoena witnesses
before him and inquire into violations of
the prohibitory law, and in its stead Endorsed
the enactment of a law comforting like power
on the probate Judge and two justices of the
peace of each county.
Changes in other laws were recommended.
Il was advised that the maximum fine for
setting up and keeping a gambling devise
be reduced TO $500, so as to give Justices Of
the peace jurisdiction of the offense. An
entire revision of the laws relating to gamb-
ling was recommended, and it was advised
that law be enacted prohibiting the sale OF
policy and lottery tickets. Another law
which the attorneys wish to enact, provides
that jurors shall be drawn by the sheriff and
district clerk.

For Frea Coinage.

New YORK, January 3.-Senator Allison
has at last consented to say something, hav-
ing been close mouthed since his return
from Brussels and the monetary confer
ence. Here is part of it:
"What suggestion did you make yourself?"
'My remarks have been published in
French and English, and will be given out
here in due time. / may summarize them,
however, by saying advocated very strongly
the free coinage of gold and silver at the
minis of the nations entering into the union.
with the provision that certain rate be-
tween gold and silver be maintained"
"Do you mean q ratio between the guam
titles of gold and silver coiLed?"
Certainly not: for / believe in coinage OF
all the gold aud silver that is owned. What
refer to is the value of the two metals as
coined into dollars, that is, the number OF
grams in EACH"
s.Can that rate be maintained by law"
81 think 1t can; you have been poisoned
in your idea of the silver question by read
ing the text books of our collegs professors.
They are good men, brilliant men. learned
men, but that's another question. Yes, sir;
do think the rates l speak of can be main
tanned by law"

Scheninp Monarchists.

LONDON, January 3.-The Orleanists have
by no means abandoned the hope of re-
gaining the throne of France through re-
vulsion in republican sentiment caused by the
revelations in the Panama affair. The
Count of Paris has telegraphed to his son,
the Duke of Orleans, who is now travelling
in Indo- China, to hasten his return In order
that be may take part in the deliberations OF
the Orleans party.
In English circles it is believed that there %
no chance for the machinatloas of the France
Royalists and Imperialists to prove success
full. Il is thought the Fren b govsrnment,
by pursuing those implicated in the Pana-
ma scandal to punishment, will establish the
republic on sounder foundations than before
and will render such an evil as the Panama
affair hereafter impossible.

over the report TINT Bill Dalton, the notorious
outlaw, had been appointed deputy United
States marshal at Coffeyville, Kansas. He
said the first intimation he received in
regard to the matter was when Senator Vest
alluded to it in the senate last week. He
had at once applied to the United States
marshals in Kansas and the Indian territory
for information on the subject, at the same
time expressing surprise and disapproval at
such appointment, but so far he has received
no response from either Officer. He ex-
plains that the department never interfered
with the marshals in appointments Of their
deputies unless there was special reason g
so doing, but he indicated very clearly thaS
he would not countenance the appointment
Of man of Dalton's stamp. No further
action will be taken until the two marshals
have been heard from.

Kansas Railroads.

TOPEKA, December 31.-In the report of
the Kansas board of railroad commissioners
tables are presented to show the reductions of
freight rates since the creation of the board.
Rates on first class freight have fallen from
10 to So per cent. on seco2d class, from IL
to so per cent; on third class, from 20 to
Al per cent. on fourth class, from 20 to A
per cent. The rates on lumber have gone
down from 81 to 60 per cent, and on wheat,
from 26 to 30 per cent.
Under the head of Judicial Interference"
the board refers to the wholesale Grocers'
Case" now before the supreme court on
appeal from AtchisOn, IN part as follows:
''In this case district judge, without vait-
ing refusal of the carrying companies to
comply with the terms and conditions of the
order, but with declared intent to prevent
such compliance, and this on complaint of
parties who set up that the reduction rates
reason of locality, enjoined the board and
the several carrying companies affected by
the order from enforcing or obeying it."
Of disrespect of its orders, the board says,
in p. part ti,,,a -, ,-,u,,,, ~, 49,. 49,,
der of the railroad commissioners shall be
the governing law of the railroad companies,
to be obeyed and respected by them, until
vacated by competent judicial tribunal on
appeal. To allow a suspension of the order
of the commissioners pending appeal by the
companies, is to make farce of the whole
commissioner system"
In the winter of 1890-91 the aid given to
settlers in western Kansas was distributed
through the commissioners. They report
that donations amounting 10 So, 708.38 were

ton to the value of 81 1851. The total value
of the aid thus rendered was $94, 360.94.

Sacramento in Danger.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, December 31.-Fears
are entertained of a food along the Sacra-
mento river, as the stream has reached a
height of twenty-seven and one-half feet,
nearly one foot higher than ever before.
The raising of tine levee mt Sacramento
saves the state capitol from bad flood. At
several points above Sacramento the water
is reported as pouring over the embankment.
but no break has yet occurred. The river is
steadily raising, however, and break is
almost sure to come.
The valley above Sacramento for thirty
miles each way is as fat as barn floor, and
in many places is below the river level.
There has been no disastrous food for twelve
years. In 1880 the whole valley was con-
verted into an inland sea. One levee broke
just below Sacramen and mnch damage
was done.

Immigration and Cholera.

WASHINGTON, d. c., January a.-The COM
mittee on immigration has returned from
New York, after making careful examina-
ton of the preparations which has been
made in New York and vicinity to repel the
cholera. Senator Chandler said: with
what is to be done in the next month or two,
it appears nothing will remain to be accom-
pllshed in the way of the preparation to
keep out or treat the cholera. But / want
to say, nevertheless. that with cholera now
existing in France and in Hamburg, shall
urge the immediate PRONUNCIATION by the
treasury department of sanitary regulations
and warn all the state and city authorities
to get ready for cholera / believe safety
can be found only in the suspension of inn
migration and the stoppage of Storage
transportation. When all possible prepare
tions otherwise have been made, they should
be supplemented by the passage of a suspen-
sion act"

NEW YORK, December 31.-The Times
states that Secretary of Treasury Fosters

purpose of consulting We'll street magnates
on the proposition TO relieve the money mar.

tho government issue from $50, 600 COO to
$1OO OO0, 900 of bonds. Wall street men were
In favor of the scheme. The presidents Co
operation had been counted on as sure, but
this confidence was suddenly discovered to
be delusive. According to Wall street re-
ports, Secretary Foster received this dis
patch from Washington:

administration. Take no steps. Do moth

The action of President Harrison upset
Fosters plans entirely, and there Is now no
prospect IF an issue of bonds to stop the
stringency in the money market.
