Populist Caucus.

TOPEKA, February 24.-The members Of
the populist house and the populist sena.
tors held caucus to discuss the political
situation.
The caucus was held in the populist house
and lasted from 1880 o'clock until mid
night.
Attorney General Little appeared before
the members and made short speech on
the case before the supreme court. He said
he believed that Governor Lewelling would
recognize the Douglass house if the supreme
court decided IN its favor.
The question of adjournment was dis
cussed and it was decided that such an
action would be inadyisable. No other
action OF importance was taken.
The political situation was thoroughly
reviewed, and speeches were made by men,
bers of each house. The proposed election
of Bailey p. Waggener for senator by the
republicans was discussed but little. Apop-
ulist representative said; Eve did not deem
1t of enough importance to devote any time
to it,

The Trial Continued.

When Secretary of State Osborne was sent
for to give his testimony, Do5ter Webb, ct
al, attorneys on the one part, made success
slve attempts to oblige the Douglass side to
coniine itself TO the house records. Chief
Justice Horton ruled that the evidence should
be taken, saying; "We are trying to find
out If there was an organization"
After testimony had been heard detailing
the action of the Douglass house in organic
ing Judge Doster objected to going any fur
Their into the organization of the Douglass
house with oral testimony than the time
when tho house began to do business and
kept a record, and the court informed MIN
that they were trying to find out IL the
records we're authentic, but the nvestigq-
ton would not go further than the organiza-
ton and the keeping of house record.
Secretary of State Osborne testified that
he still had the original roll of the house
in his Office By direction of the court he
brought it into court. 1t was compared by
the justices, with the printed roll used by the
Douglass house. and which was used in call
ing the roll on the election of officers and
for all subsequent business, and they were
found to be just alike,
Osborne stated that he had quietly, with
no announcement, taken copy of the true
roll to the house, and on being told by $.
NJ. Scott who was the proper person to give
it to, he had handed it to Ryan, who was
then in the speakers stand.
All witnesses agreed that this occurred af-
ter the Douglass house had been organized.
When the Douglass side rested the Duns-
more attorneys asked for delay, to gather
commence with such witnesses as wore
present
Chief Clerk Ben Rich was examined. He,
with his clerks, had kept records of the house
proceedings. Only the first ten days Jour
nal had as yet been approved by the house.
The entire records had been turned over to
the revision committee, who had only revised
the first ten days as yet He stated that all
elections of officers by the house of which
he was chief clerk had been by viva voce
vote. He was then furnished roll of the
house but did not know who handed it to him.
In calling this roll no did not call all the
names on it, but called in their places names
that had been handed him on a separate slip.
Was told that this slip had been prepared by
Speaker Dunsmore. This list disappeared
the third day. The gentlemen whose names
appeared on the slip responded on roll calls,
and no objection was made Sixty eight re-
sponded to the first roll call, fifty-eght of
the names being on the original roll and the
other ten on the slip.
He had continuously followed the practic
of calling names of republican members
and counting them as present; had done this
upon instructions and did not know the OBJ
iect. He still did this, since the two houses
have been in separate rooms, whenever there
happened to be republican member pres
ent.
This ended the afternoon session of the
court.

TOPEKA, February 2l.--When tho case Of
Witness L. Q. Gum came before the supreme
court Judge Horton was on the bench for
the first time since his recent illness, and
the other judges were In their accustomed
places.
The case Is that in which the Douglass
house subppned n witness, Mr.. Gum, and
he refused TO come because OF his claim that
tho Douglass house had no authority He
was arrested and applied to tho supreme
court for habeas corpus.
Eugene Hagan appeared for the petitioner
and Attorney General Little for the state.

No Need to Issue New Bonds.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February 21.-The
Wall street "panicn bubble was pricked by
the treasury officials. They satisfied them
selves that the financial furry of the last few
days, and the great slump of stock. were
nothing but conspiracy of tho New York
associated banks to compel the government
TO issue bonds which would be taken at par
by the conspiring bankers, and would soon
command premium.
For several days tho Wall slreeters have
shown that the gold shipments of the day
would reach SD, 100000 1t was added that
the shipments of Monday would reach S5,-
100000 40 the available gold in the treas-
ury department Is only SS,0O0000, these re-
ports indicated that the danger point was
very near, ard that an issue of bonds was in-
eyta5le. AS result of these designing re-
ports there has been an intense stringency
in financial relies and the feeling that the
country was on the verge of panic
But the treasury department satisfied itself
that the panic was purely arbitrary. tele-
gram was received from Sub Treasurer Rob-
erts, at New York, saying that the entire
gold shipment would be $1,S00000. This is
about 100000 less than the Wall street
''panic' brokers reported No further ship.
ments can take place until Wednesday. This
has put new phase on the situation and the
treasury feels much relieved. When Presi-
dent Harrison returns from Benjies, Md,
he will find that there is no need of issuing
bonds to brace up the depleted gold supply.
The president has been from the first OPP
posed to the issuse of bonds, but ne has been
compel cd, single handed, to struggle against
the Wall street influences.

HAREAs CORPUS.

Trial OF the Case Commenced.
When the l., C., Gum habeas corpus case
came up for trial before tho Kansas supreme
court and after the chief attorneys had
stated the case in dispute, Chief Justice
Horton announced that all tho evidence IN
the case would DO heard before the argu-
ments were made,
Tho attorneys then had acontroyorsy as to
which side the burden of proof depended on.
The court said the burden of proof would
rest with the republicans.
This point was argued at length, but was
finally settled by Chief Justice Horton say
ing, "the court has unanimously agreed that
We will hear all the evidence of the case and
that the defendants must present their eyi.
dence iirst,' This p aced tho burden OF
proof on tho republicans.
The court ordered that all arguments on
objections to evidence would DO heard after
the evidence is all in and the attorneys for
the Dunsmore house agreed that Mr., Hagan
should state the objections they wished to
make during the progress OF the trial.
At this point Attorney Clemens got hot.
''Will this court" he said, "pretend TO say
that as court OF record and as the court
where the original proceedings are brought,
that no objection shall be made to the intro
duction of eyidence2" Then throwing his
hand out before him and staring at the floor
us Chief Justice Horton attempted to inter.
rupt him, he raised hiS voice and said; "Will
tho court allow me moment2 The court
has no right to mako such ruling Will
this court pretend TO elevate itself above all
authority in tho state and hear evidence in
an indirect manner, it cannot hear directly"
Here Mr.. Clemens was cut short by Chief
Justice Horton, who, with unusual iirmness,
said
"The court will be obeyod, Tho court has
tho power TO enforce its orders and IL will
compel all persons, even the attorneys in the
case, TO be respectful of it's orders"
Clemens went out, mutterlng.
