Ponullat Confarenoa.

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 tho 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 leading lights, urging their
attendance.
1t 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 beon 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
izatioLs 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 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
tive declaration against the saloon and in
favor of prohibition.

snrlneer,s Idea Explained.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 2Z-'The
electoral college as it now stands is miser-
able fraud" said Representative Springer,
''and the idea that all of the votes in the
electoral college from a great state like New
York should go to one party by matter of
100 or 200 votes 10 a great fraud upon the
electors Of the country. Some of the news
papers misapprehend the proposition which
| submitted on the subject The popular
vote contemplated is confined to each state
The states will have the same number of
electoral votes that they now have in the
election of president and vice president
There will be no persons running as candl-
dates for electors, but the electoral vote of
each state will be apportioned among the
several candidates according TO the Number
of popular votes each receives in that state,
the odd votes going to the candidates having
the large fractions. This will prevent the
vicious practices of gerrymandering and
gives exact weight to the popular vote which
each candidate receives in the state. 1t will
nationalize the presidential election and
render contests for the succession next to
impossible. Politically it would give effect
to thu popular will, limiteu Only by the just
representation which each state is entitled
to in the electoral college, and would not
spread large majorities in one locality be-
yond the limits of the state. Besides, it
would make vote buying Intellectual and
therefore imperative"

Building Materials Of Kansas.
The KaTaaa hoard Of commissioners foi

bululnR Mat0TIalS OF KANSAS
The Kansas board of commissioners for
the worlds fair have sent out this:
II is the intention of the managers of the
Kansas department of the Worlds Column
bian exposition to make three separate ex-
hibits OF the Kansas building stones. One
of these exhibits will form part of the ma
tional exhibit, and will include only the
lmore important varieties. Work upon the
state exhibit, under the charge of Professor
d Williston, has been in progress during the
4 past year, and already large and varied
collection has been made. Both of these ex-
lhibits will be placed In tho department of
mines and mining. The county exhibit will
be placed in the Kansas building, whore 1t is
expressly intended to display the local re-
sources of the state, and where the arrange
ment will be economic and commercial,
| rather than scientific and which will permit
Implications. Not only is it desired to in
clude in this display the building stones of
each county, but also all natural material
of economic Importance, such as chalk,
| clays, lines, plasteTs, cements, bricks, tiles,
pottery, mineral paints, salt, coal, minerals,
ores, etc.
1t is earnestly desired that each of the one
| hundred and six counties of the state may
be fully represented, as those having only
an incomplete display, or no display at all,

offer full series of their natural resources,
and there are no counties which cannot
! furnish some important natural products.
/ As the time for the preparation of this ex-
hibit is limited, immediate attention to the
! importance of the subject is urged upon all
interested in the development and display of
their immediate resources
Wherever possible, specimens of stone
should be prepared in accordance with the
instructions contained in the circular sent
to all interested. Specimens shoulo be sent,
however, whether dressed or undressed, and
the necessary work upon them will be done
1 at Lawrence, under the supervision of Pro-
lessor Williston.
As the building material collected for the
state exhibit during the past year by Profess
sor Willston will not in most cases suffice
for the county exhibits, specimens will be de-
sired from nearly all the counties of the
state.
Correspondence relative to the building
stones, clays, cements, ETC., should be de
rected to Prof S. w. Williston, Lawrencei
that concerning salt, coal, ores, ETC., to
Prof. e. Haworth of the same place.

Hutchinson 20. Michigan.

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 mills per ton per mile on
Michigan salt to points in Kansas and 8 to
So 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 TO produce salt
in Kansas than it 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 COMPETE
ton. The commissioners further said that
several of the roads against whom the com
plant was filed, including the Union Pacific,
Burlington, St. Joseph & Grand Island, M.
X. d T., X. c. w. q N. W., Fort Scott d
Memphis, and the Frisco, do not reach
Hutchinson and they are pNwerless to put in
a joint rate for salt from tSat point. The
petition was therefore denied.

TOPEKA, December 30,-E. r. Westfall,
after short course of crime was forced by
Pension Agent Kelly to tell the truth. He
had distracted one page of signed checks
from the check book kept in the vault in the
room in which he worked as clerk.
Two of these checks were filled out for
large sums and one Whistler attempted to
realize on them on bank Mt Horton, Kan

keepers; Dickson, Cor .DXon) of Horton,

in the pension office between two and three
years. He came from Troy, Kan, where he

IN CONGRESS.

Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, read
the bill with the amendments to suspend and
prohibit immigration for a year from tbs LIST of
March, 1893 and he said he hoped tlie bill would
receive immediate consideration on the reas-
sembling of the senate in January.
Senator Hill. of New York, thought a bill
could be framed that would meet tho views Of
the country better than the one just reported,
and reserved the right TO submit d minority re-
port at some future time.
Senator Perkins introduced bill to enable
the people of Oklahoma and the Indian terri
tory to form constitution and state government
and to be admitted into the Union. This bill
includes the Five Nations in with Oklahoma
territory.
Senator Mitchell introduced bill to make it
crime 10 be punished by death to practice mes
morizing and hypnotising.
In tho appropriations for the ordnance de-
partment the house has seemed to hayo dealt
generously, and has allowed even more than the
estimates called for, this being duo to the ur-
gent appeals made by the chief of that depart
ment to tho house committee. 1t was shown
that the ordnance department has been sub
ssting for years upon the left over stock from
the late war, and that surplus has been entirely
used up. The force Of the argument was seen in
tho action of the committee, which, while it
scaled other appropriations pretty close to the
bone, gave the ordnance department an increase
of several thousand dollars.

They gave no warning of what they pro-
posed to do, and the city WI unaware that
there vas any trouble until the lights all
over the city went out and the street cars

finally decided to fight until the companies
granted an increase of 10 per cent, in wages
All day the companies had men 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

DEVILS AT WORK.
Milwaukee Fires All Set by
Fiends.
The Last Is Half Million Loss by tho
Street Railway Company; Making
Dozen Within IA MOnth-Insur-
ance Companies Withdraw.

MILWAUKEE,, December 30.-A bomb was
thrown into the main building Of the
south side plant of the Milwaukee Street
Railway company. There was tremendous
explosion and in moment the interior OF
the building was in flames.
In few minutes the fire was beyond con-
troll and in less than an hour the entire plant
was consumed, entaIling a loss OF $4,000.
The Street Railway companys south side
plant is located on Kinniknick avenue. Be-
sides the immense stables we're tine electric
motors, the machine shops and the horse
stables. In the barn we're fifty new electric
motors and nearly all the summer cars
owned by the company.
The machine shops were built the past sea-
son and were lifted with very fine machinery
for the rebuilding and repairing of cars.
In the stables were sixty horses but these
we're got out alive. The cars stored in the
building were valued at $3.50, 000 while the
structure ltselfis worth at least $4,000. The
machinery Is valued at fully SIS, 0C0, while the
stores of the company were kept in the
building and amount to about $4,000.
The barns which were destroyed were the
principal depot of the Milwaukee Street
Railway company, and the fire greatly
crippled the company.
Who the man is who threw the bomb liz
not known. He is supposed to be the fire
bug who has started fully a dozen other dis
astrous blazes within month. The grand
jury will be summoned to investigate.
There was nothing of an explosive nature
about the plant, and the electric current was
not on, the machinery at the power house
not being in operation.
Investigation shows beyond doubt that the
fire which destroyed the two tanneries caus-
ing a loss of $3.50, 900, and by which four
lives were lost, was incendiary This is also
the case with the two fires en- Sunday, when
$685. 600 wor II Of property burned.
Mayor Summers issued proclamation
offering reward of $500 for the arrest Of
incendiaries. 1t has also been decided to at
once add 100 special police to the regular
force for night service.
number Of insurance agents, repres mt
ing the leading insurance companies, re-
celved orders from their several companies
to cease writing insurance on manufacture

SANTA FE, N. NJ, December 27.-The tor
turing of the two alleged witches at the Pu-
eblo of Zuni few days ago is likely to have
dramatic sequel. Last Saturday an at
tempt was made to arrest the Indians guilty
# this outrage, but vigorous resistance was
WHered to Deputy United States Marshal
freen, of Gallup
The tribe consists of about !, 800, of whom
100 are warriors. Two companies of United
States troops and two Calling guns were Or
r,lered from Fort Wingate to support the
marshal, and as the Indians are furnishing
up their guns and pistols, trouble is likely.
The cacique of the tribe is the one princi-

To Form a State Government

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 2t.-Sena
tor Perkins introduced bill to enable the
people of Oklahoma and of the Indian Ter
ritory to form a constitution and state gov
eminent and to be admitted into the Unior
on an equal footing with the original states
and for other purposes.
The bill was referred to the csmmittee
and will be given hearty welcome rs prom
ised by Senator Plat. That serltor said
that he was in favor of an immed ate con-
sideration of the bill and resort I, prompt
action in response to the state of airs that
has developed.
The bill covers both territories, forming
one state, and provides for a constitutional
convention, the members of whictare to be
elected by the people. The convection is to
adopt q constitution and submit it to the
people and if ratified by them it vii be pre-
sented to congress, and when approved by
congress the work of forming stae is COM
plete.
Secretary Noble gave assuranc that he
was heartily in accord with the pin for inn
mediate statehood for DO h Territories, and
was also favorable to the plan o making
citizens out OF the mem berS OF the hve CIV
ilized tribes as rapidly as possibl. There
was no doubt but the members of he tribes
were competent to take care of themselves
as citizens, and there was no lmger any
necessity for having tribal governments.
There would be no trouble in the process OF
merging them into citizenship.
AS estimated by the friends of the new
measure there is a chance to get il through
by making a state omnibus bill. This bill
to usher into the Union the states OF Arizona
New Mexico and Oklahoma. They estimate
that the idea of making state of Oklahoma
will'be popular one, and If the republicans
will consent TO the admission Of the othel
two the whole thing can be put through
This is the plan that will be adhered to il
seeking the best results.
The republicans will be relied upon tx
bring in Oklahoma. It Is believed that i
Athe territory is not admitted this session, il
will be many years before it is a state un
less there is a radical change of feeling il
such matters in congress. II is reElzed tina
the members of the lobby who are candi
dates for the appointment of governor o.
Oklahoma will secretly work against it
They prefer the chance of getting job t.
statehood. This however, is understood
and will be guarded against.

Cold and Poverty.

LONDON, December 20.-England is hav-
ing severe weather Vigorous frosts pre-
vail throughout the country and London is
buried under dense fog. Many accidents
have occurred at Glasgow, Manchester and
New Castle, owing to frozen boilers burst
ing, two persons being killed at Avidrie
Twelve sailors lost their lives by drowning
in Great Britain. The poor are suffering
terribly in London. Privation in London
among the unemployed increases with the
advance of the winter and notwithstanding
the numbers already here, the multitudes
continue to thronG in from all parts of the
country. Locked. out employees at the Ian
cashire cotton manufacturing districts had a
hungry holiday. Hundreds are wandering
about begging, and it Is feared the vigorous
weather will cause the loss of many lives.
