Railroad Com m issioners Case.

TOPEKA. March 13.-Attorney General Lit
tie filed petitions in the supreme court. pray
ing for peremptory writ of mandamus to
compel William Mitchell and George I. An
thony to turn over the Office of railroad
commissioners, with all its contents, books,
papers and records. to John Hall and W. d.
Vincent. Separate petitions were filed in
the two cases, and in that of the Anthony
case, it is charged that he has not been a
railroad commissioner since April l, 1892,
no bond or oath of Office being on file in the
Office of the secretary of state. In the Mitch
ell case it is simply charged that Mr.. Mitch
ell was removed from Office in February. at
which time his successor was elected, and
that, although repeated demands have been
made upon him for the Office, they have been
steadily refused.
Secretary of State Osborne received this
dispatch from his predecessor, who is in st.
Louis:
when turned the office over, the bond
and oath of Anthony as railroad commits
sioner for 1892, 1893 and 1894, were in your
office. Proof is beyond question. If not
there you have allowed them to be stolen.
The trick wont work. WILLIAM HIGGINS"
To this Osborne replies that while 1t might
be possible Tor loose paper to be stolen from
his Office, it would be impossible to steal
| from the book record of the minutes of the
executive council, or from the official bond
record, or from the record for the entry of
oaths of Office and of commissions issued.
| He says none of these show Anthony TO have
| qualified or to have gwen Bond.

More and Many Freshets.

Many boats. steamers and canal boats.
were driven down stream at Roundout, n.
T., and were wedged in by ice as they went.
Many people on the boats had narrow g.
capes. Loss. 100000.
The lower part of the city of Albany -
under water and railway trains and electric
cars are prevented from running. The Hood
rose about one foot an hour and was four
teen feet above mean tide.
At Rock Island. ILL.,, mountain OF ice
fifty feet high was thrown on railroad emf
bankments, blocking all tracks and destroy
ing a number of freight cars.
Opposite Leavenworth long dyke re-
Gently constructed was swept away.
The floods in eastern Pennsylvania, nov
receding. left number of mines flooded,
stopping the work of 4. 0OO people.
lnnumerabIe ice gorges formed in Grand,
Shiawasse, Clinton and other rivers of Mich
igan. That on the Grand was six miles long.
from four to twenty feet thick and from 800
to 5000 feet wide. Damage to property at
| that place alone is put at $4,000.
The Platte river. IN Nebraska. lost wagon
bridges. and railroad bridges became too
dangerous to cross. Bottom lands all along
that river were more or less covered by
water.

Leg islation That Must Fall.


The two houses of the Kansas legislature
struggled to agree on some measures and
fenced agains. any agreement on Others.
The legislative appropriation bill was
batted back and forth q number of times :;
the senate first standing firm on recogni-
ton of the Dunsmore house as legislative
body, and the house at the other extreme.
refusing to pay any officer of that body.
1t was evident that both sides took extreme
positions on the start, to be the better able
to save their main points in the outcome; and
this seemded likely at midnight on Wednes-
day to be the result.
Thessenate's point was to secure the pay
of al, employees; the houses point. that moth
ing should 60 on the statutes of Kansas that
could be said to recognize an illegal assem-
blage as legislative body. The senate 3
first CONCESSION was that the Dunsmore house
members without certificates be dropped
from the pay roll.
The railroad bills of the two houses were
% radically opposed that there was no seem
ing chance for an agreement to be reached.
The appellate court bills passed By each
house differ radically and conferences have
been had with no result.
There were also occasion for conferences
on items in several of the regular appropria-
ton bills: mostly upon amount OF wages to
be allowed officers and employees OF state
institutions: the penitentiary being sam.
ole. The senate wanted to cut the pay OF
warden and the house commended Tor the old
figure.

mated proportion of wheat on hand 10 26.2
per cent. of the last crop. the smallest Per.
centage in ten years. The quantity On hand
aggregates 135, OOO. 600 bushels, 36. OO0, 900
bushels less than las. March and q, OO0. 900
more than the remnan: of the very small
crop of 1880. A very large proportion ID
for commercial distribution; and only a.
states more than half of which is required
for seed in the spring. Of the winter wheat
states only Kansas and California have any
considerable surplus available for CONNER
cial distribution.
The corn on hand is estimated to aggre-
gate so, 81 $40 bushels. or 3S.5 per cent. of
tho last product. This proportion has been
exceeded in March four times in the last ten
years. and the quantity has been exceeded
five times.

partment of agriculture relates to the dis

of correspondents in each county. and also
By an independent board reporting to the
state agent. All grain, Including any surplus
of previous years IS included. The separate
results are scrutinlZed. obvious errors and
Inconsistencies corrected, differences har-
monized and ultimate statements tabulated
by states to show both percentages and az
gregate quantities.

tho affirmative, and when asked if The rule
was inflexible, Mr.. Cleveland responded that
it would b so substantially; there might be
exceptional and extraordinary circumstances
which might cause some departures from il,
but he could not cali to mind any possibill-
ties to justify a change from the policy de-
cided upon. Mr.. Springer asked if the rule

Mr. CIeyeland's response WIS that he had
not though. aDout that. but he ggve q de-
cided impression that 1t would prevail to a.
great An extent as possible with small post
masterships.
The postmaster general is credited with
the announcement that no local business
men need apply for postoeices under his adj
ministration. He objects to commissioning
local business men a. post asters for tho
reason that the duties are performed by ire
sponsible end often incompetent clerks and
substitutes. Postnasters under Mr.. Bissell
must promise to devots their entire time to

Fred A. stocks Holds . Place.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 1a.-Fred A.
stocks, of Blue Papids. Kan. called on Sec
rotary Carlisle and assured him that he was
willing at any time to resign his place as
chief clerk of the treasury and sever his con-
nection with all treasury work.
The secretary thanked him for his kind.
ness as he had fully decided to put his son,
Logan, in the place. but he was not pre-
pared to let Mr.. Stocks out entirely. He
would consent to the plan of receiving his
resignation as chief clerk. but he would like
for hum to retain his connection with the
board of control of the worlds fair until
certain work under way could be completed.
This would take some months.
The matter was finally adjusted BY Stocks
cesigning a. chief clerk and retaining his
position on the board OF control of the fair
association. Logan Carlisle was then made
chief clerk and stocks viii remain hero un-
Ill about May when he will move to Chicago.

To Adjourn Saturday Noon.

Just previous to p. m. Thursday, tho
hour fixed for adjournment of tho Kansas
legislature, both houses adopted q new ad-
journment resolution to adjourn at noon Of
Saturday, March II.
Thursday mornings session of the senate
was cut short by adjournment. Surprise at
this was answered that the senate had de-
:ided to pass no more house bills until tho
expenses of contests of the Dunsmore house
and the pay of its employees was provided
for by the house.
On the other hand, the republicans of the
.ouse are equally determined and declare that
they will allow the legislative appropriation
bill to die before they will recede from their
position. They claim that the house of rep
resentatives had nothing to do with contests
prosecuted outside the house, and they can
never consent to appropriate money to pay
the unauthorized expense.

Arms for Ireland Are Withheld.

LONDON, March 15.-The Belfast News
Letter asserts that firm in Ulster recently
ordered 1000 Martini rifles from English
manufacturers. The firms referred the Or
der to the British government for advice as
to whether it should be complied with. The
governments reply was of such = nature
that the British manufacturers replied to the
Ulster firm that they were not permitted to
execute the order. This IS considered as
showing that the government means to en-
force the order recently issued that no arms
shall be admitted to Ireland without per-
mission from the Dublin executive.
