From the Cleveland PlAindeAler.

life.
"Mr. Conductor. what time do we get int
Parkersburg?'
"Ten-twenty," replied the official politely.
"Yes Well, what time can get train ON

"Nine-twenty."

They Abuse the Governor for Yielding to
the Republicans.

They Abuse the Governor for Yielding to
the Republicans.
As telegraphed briefly to yesterdays STAR
peace again reigns in Kansas. Gov. Lewellyn
signed the peace agreement between him
and the republican house of representatives.
The proposition came from the governor. The
conditions are precisely the same as those Of
the agreement presented by the house to the
governor Thursday night. 1t proposes to give
the republicans undisputed possession of repre-
sentative hall, with all Of its appurtenances and
connectin rooms, the republicans to agree not
to make any further arrests Of popuist house
officers for contempt. The populists to
continue their meeting in hall down town, the
governor to remove the military force and the
sheriff discharge his large force of deputies.
Immediately after the agreement had been
signed dispatches were sent out by Adjutant
General Artz ordering all troops on their way
to the capital to return to their homes. Tho
pOpulists also loaded down the wires with mes
sages to their supporters that all occasion for
their presence had passed for the time being
The news of the settlement Of the revolution
was received in the republican hall with great
demonstrations OF joy. Cheer after cheer
echoed through the broad corridors Of the state
house. Hats were thrown in the air; coats were
taken of and waved wildly.
This demonstration ceased only when the
legislators had cheered themselves hoarse.
The terms OF peace are complete backdown
by the governor and the republicans claim that
they have gained all that they ever demanded.
The decision Of the courts is now awaited with
great anxiety.
In the supreme court L. c. Guno, who was
arrested by the republican sergeant-at-arms for
contempt of the republican house authority, has
asked for his release on writ Of habeas corpus
He claims that the republican house is illegally
constituted and consequently has no authority
to hold him in custody.
PoPULIsTs ABUSE THE GOVERNOR.
The populists are very much discouraged at
the turn affairs have taken, and are abusing the
governor for agreeing to terms Of peace. Many
Of the leaders say that they will not obey the
supreme court if it decides against them
Some Of the hOt-headed populists are inclined
to be decidedly ugly. contending that the gov
ernor should have held his own until the repub-
licans were either starved out or driven out Of
the state house.
Among the citizens, however, there is a feel
ing Of profound relief that the crisis has been
averted without bloodshed, and that the good
name Of the state is not to be dsgraced by open
civil war. The exodus of sympathizers with
both sides commenced with the afternoon
trains.
