went up to the capitol Wednesday to elect
she United States senator. The general
impression had gone abroad through the
city that senator was to be elected, but

Populists had addressed note to the Dem.
ocrats saying that they would stay with
General Thompson until the first ballot
was ended and no longer, and that they
would not vote for any other Democrat.
The Democrats are therefore out of the

Thompson and he is held responsible for
the defeat Of the party and is being round
ly denounced by them in consequence.

STATE TROOPS NOT RELIABLE.
Col. Hughes Tells LeweIling Somethin
thai Staggers Him.

Col. Hughes Tells LeweIiing Something
thai Staggers Him.
The Populists intended to carry the hall
by storm at 8 a. m. Colonel Hughes, al
though not officially informed of the plan,
learned its details and appraised the Repub-
licans of them, giving them to understand
at the same time that they had nothing to
fear from him A little later he was sum-
moned to the governors Office, where the
plan was laid before him and he was or
dered to carry it out. The colonel informed
the governor that he was on duty TO main
tain the peace and not to break it. The
Repu blican house, he said, was the legally
constituted house of the state of Kansas,
and he did not propose to interfere with it
in the transaction of it's business.
Some News for the Governor.
The governor made reply that the colonel
would obey the order or would be relieved
from bis command. The colonel retorted
that when the governor relieved him of his
command his regiment would relieve itself
from duty. and would disband on the spot.
The First regime MT, which Colonel Hughes
commands, comprised most of the compan-
les in the vicinity of Topeka, and they
formed decided majority of the men in
the field The colonel's retort staggered
the governor, and the colonels action en-
barrassed him to that extent he decided to
place no more reliance on the state troops
The colonel told the truth. The state
troops were mainly all Republicans and
not the least reliable for what Lewelling
wanted
Another Plan Given Up.
Then Lewelline adopted new tactics. He
relieved nd
self-not OF the state troops, but of the new
recruits all Popllists. He sent word to
the Douglass house at IL a. m. that il they
did not vacate the hall in fifteen minutes
ne would clear it with troops. But he
oil dn't for he found that the Populist force
was utterly Inadequate to cope even with
the sherlff's posse Therefore he went into
consultation with his Populist friends and
the balance of the day was spent in consul
tation on offers OF compromise that failed
Of result.
Decided to Drop the Fight.
During the afternoon, however, the Pop
ulists met and decided to make no further
attempt to gain entrance to representative
hall. The dispute will, therefore, be left
to the courts to decide. The sheriff then
took possession of the state house and
raised the siege. The case will be decided
by the supreme court. L. c. Gum, of
Labette county, was arrested by the Re
publican house and brought here on
charge Of contempt in refusing to obey a
subpoena to testify in a contested election
case. He Justities MS refusal on the ground
that the Republican house was not legal.
and has sued for A writ of habeas corpus
before the supreme court. The decision

SIEGE OF REPRESENTATIVE HALL.
How the Douglass Men Passed the Night
The Sheriff7s Posse.

How the Douglass Men Passed the Night
The sherif7s Posse.
Wednesday night was cold and dreary
-one for the Repu blicans besieged in repre-
sentative hall. The hard-hearted janitor
of the capitol building refused to turn on
the heat The hall was miserably cold,
and the Republicans were forced to en-
gage IN walking matches and other antics
about the hall to keep up free circulation
of blood Sleep was out of the question The
members, however, had the comfort of
food which the military guards in the
grounds below allowed to be hoisted
through the windows At 4 O'Clock in the
morning six gasoline stoves were hoisted
through the windows and the members
gathered around them in squads to absorb
what heat they afforded.
Amused Themselves With Cards.
Gard parties were formed by some Of the
members and that amusement served to
pass the dreary hours. The sledge-ham-
ner with which Speaker Douglass broke
down the door TO the house Wednesday
and which he used as q gavel during the
day, reposed on the speakers desk, a SYM
Dol at once of force and authority. The
notice from Colonel Hughes that they need
fear no hostile action on the part OF the
troops SO long as they were under his COM
mand relieved the tension under which
the members had been strained and created
q feeling Of great confideuee
Plenty of Food for All.
A wagon load OF food came in at noon
and the besieged members got their break
fast by mail, the postoffice carriers bring
ing it in their pouches, because the guards
were afraid to interfere with Uncle Sam.
Topeka was black with people who came
I'm from everywhere ITO see the fun" and
blue with troops who came at the govern
or's command Every train that arrived
during the day brought its complement OF
troops and Republican and Populist
volunteers armed with Winchesters, shot
guns, and revolyers, anxious to take a
hand in the fight which was anticipated.
The capitol on all sides was surrounded
with soldiery and citizens. At every ap.
proach of the building picket line was
maintained. No one was allowed inside
without pass signed by the governor and
countersigned by the adjutant general
~ The Sheriff Recruits Posse.
The sheriff established three recruiting
stations in the morning and swore in all
who would volunteer as deputies He told
his men who were armed to remain there
and see who were unarmed and procure
