From Wednesdays Daily

It
Great excitement prevailed on
the streets yesterday afternoon,
| when it was known that Minister
Willis had requested this Govern,
ment to relinquish its present
power, and give the reins of gov,
eminent again into the hands Of
Liliuokalani. Men stood on street
corners in little knots, and talked
the situation over in e way that
showed how deeply the news had
moved them Any maR who
seemed to know more of the mat.
ter than his fellows, was imme-
distely surrounded by s crowd,
who were anxious for news, and
asked question after question IN
til the subject was pumped dry.
Several members Of the Advisory
Council were stopped on the street
by some friend, and were soon sur
rounded by crowds ranging in
numbers from twenty to over s
hundred.
But nothing beyond the bare
fact that Minister Willis had made
the above request was obtainable.
The wording of the request itself
viii not be given out until an an
sEer is prepared, and that may not
be for two or three DAYS. The
Councils viii not be hasty in the
matter, and, as q member of the
Executive Council said yesterday
afternoon, in speaking OF the
affair, the communication is quite
lengthy and treats Of q number of
topics, and viii require some time
for peTusaL
Consul-GenersI Mills called at
the Executive Building yesterday
morning, and made arrangements
with the Government for an audi
enee to be given Minister Willis at
1 80 o'clock
The Ministers call was a short
one, not lasting over fifteen min
utes. He was received by Presi-
dent Dole and the Cabinet. Soon
after he left, Viee-President Hatch
and Councillor Wilder we're sent
for, and we're eloseted with the Ex-
eeutiTe.
4 meeting Of the Executive and
Advisory Councils was called for 3
O'Clock. All the members were
present, With the exception Of Mr..
As soon as the min
utes Of the previous meeting had
been read, the Attorney-General
moved that the Councils 20 into
special session, which was carried. Z
What transpired at that session Is
not known by anyone except the
Councillors and Chief Justice Judd, I.
who was present by special permits /
sion. But 1t Is understood that
several members Of the Councils
advocated the immediate pubIica-
ton Of the Ministers request This
was opposed, Oh the ground that It
would not be diplomatic courtesy
to publish such . document, at
east until su answer had been
July prepared. This viii probably
be at the meeting to Be held tomor-
-o= afternoon.
As soon as the Councils ad-
ourned, the members we're beaieged
,y eager questioners, who wished to
NOW what course the Government
to take. No answer could
e obtained to any questions, how
.vsr, beyond the plain facts above
tsted.

CANDIDATES HOT.

The weather is hot and SO are the spoils
hunters of the fusion party and particu-
larry the alleged Democratic end of it.
There is bare possibility that some of the
fusion ticket may be elected Tin their
minds) aud ABOUT twenty of them are
working like beavers for the nomination.
Nearly all of them have knives in their
boots and such cutting and slashing as
they are INDUCING in WAS never before
seen in the politics of this county. Only
about three out of the twenty or more who
are running can get no minaton, ana
seventeen very soreheads can be seen after
the convention. Chief of Police Cone
practically has at his disposal the nomlna-
ton of the candidate for sheriff and there
is hardly a doubt in the minds OF
those best posted as to who ne
will be. Indeed he is as good as nomi-
mated already, and the action of the con-
vention in his case will be only ratiiica-
ton. IF he is not nominated" say the
friends of Mr.. Cone, ''the next sheriff will
be Republican" The politicians knows
Rufe's power with the metropolitan police
force at his back, and they dare not act
contrary to his will, for it has always been
estimated by the Democratic politicians
that the police system is worth at least
400 votes to the party that can control it,
and 400 votes will be a power in the COM
ing election. The Democratic politicians
also know the power Cone has over the
farmer Populist, and they must curry him
right for they need him in fixing up the
discomfort that is prevailing among the
middle of the road fellows. 1--WE must
treat Rufe with the proper
consideration" said one of them, in pri-
vate meeting the other day, ''for we all
know that he can handle the farmers bet
ter than any other man we have got"
As Chief Cone will practically say who
the candidate for sheriff will be the real
fight then will be for register of deeds
There will be a hot contest over this and
the probability is that several ballots will
be taken without a choice being made
This is 40 apparent to the wire-pulers
that they are already training IA dark
horse which will be sprung at the proper
time. The man they have selected
for this purpose is popular
and in deadlock his name judiciously
sprung would have magic effect. 1t is
not unsafe or hazardous to predict that
none Of the nine candidates now in the
open field for register of deeds will be
nominated. This is given with no personal
feelings in the matter-it is simply an i'm
partial, unconcerned pointer.
There is only one man in the party who
makes any pretentions to being compe-
tent to fill the Office of surveyor, and he
viii probably be nominated by acclama-
tioD althouph he is said To be as much of
a Republican as Demo-Pop.

TOMORRow'S. CONVENTION.

The Democratic county convention will
be held in this city tomorrow to nominate
a straight, middle of the road ticket, for
to fill the county offices. Just at present
Democracy is not very proud of its
national record since it assumed control
of the government, and tomorrow's con-
vention will, in all probability, be not
largely attended. There IS not much
encouragement for Kansas Democrats this
year, particularly in view of the lame
financial policy of the administration, but
then Democrats are resourcetui, and no
doubt the resolutions that will be passed
at tomorrow's convention will straddle
the whole matter aud make Grover Cleve-
land out to be great friend OF the people
OF course all the Democrats wont do this.
for there is no question but what many
of them will vote with the Peoples party
again this year. Peoples party doctrines
are more catchy" at present, when the
money stringency is so noticeable. and be-
sides there are always a lot OF Democrats
who are DESTROYS of shifting around at a
time when making apologies for the imbe-
cility of the administration is necessary.
They do this under the plea OF fusion and
still claim TO be Democrats IN order 10 re-
main within the range of a postoifice or
any other federal snap that may be fired
at them. In other words, they try to up
turn the whole system of natural philoso-
phy by aiming TO be in two places-the
Democratic and the Peoples party camps
at the same time.

CHICKEN THIEVES.

No one who has not rs yet sustained a
loss of dozen or two nice plump spring
chickens have any idea Of the feelings of a
goodly number of the citizens of the
northwestern part Of the city whose roosts
are being robbed now almost every night.
No less than seven or eight thefts have
been reported to the officers during the
present week and as yet only one arrest
has been made, and that one being made
yesterday morning by Constable Sam
Jones who had a sprinting match with
this same fellow last Saturday, and in
whose possession seventy-six chickens
were found. 1t would be advisable for
every one having any of these toothsome
fowls in their coops TO keep sharp look
out and have either good dog or shotgun
in convenient place and give some of
these rOgues warm reception.

Enthusiastic Reception.

Tho wbeelmen of this city who visited
~, Scott and participated in the tourna-
,,ant there returned to the city yesterday
,f,ar,,oon and were met at the Missouri
Pacific depot by the band and large
cro,vd of enthusiastic citizens. including
.,bout fifty or seventy-fiye bicycle enthusi-
asts When the delegation allghted from
the train great cheer went up, which
was renewed with increased vigor when
Merit Burt. the new champion OF the west,
was seen. After handshakings and con-
CALCULATIONS the crowd formed a process
sion headed by the band ana
marched east on Second street to Main,
south On Main to Douglas, east on Doug
las to Lawrence, and then countermarched
until Shaw's establishment on North Main
street was reached, where an improvised
platform was erected and furnished with
an orator in the person of Hon. Rudolph
Hatfield. Mr.. Hatfield made an enthusi-
astic address, eulogizing Wichita as
place where champions in every walk OF
life are developed He paid high tribute
to Mr. Burt and was frequently cheered.
When Mr.. Hatfield had concluded Thomas
Shaw was SO full Of local pride and en-
thusiasm that he took the platform and
tried mis- hand at oratory. He made an
eloquent speech under the inspiration OF
the success of Wichita man, and he was
loudly cheered.
The young champion was then presented
and his appearance was the signal for a
fresh outburst of applause. He did not
make a speech, but gracefully thanked
the crowd for the reception rendered him.
Thomas Shaw was still full of enthasl'
ism and be made another speech in keep
| ing with the glory of the occasion.

a WORLD BEATFR.
Jack rincc, the " orld's Champion wheelman
in Town.

John S. Prince, or Jack. as he is more
Familiarity called among the crack wheel
men, arrived in the city from Texas last
night and put up at the Carey. Air. Prince
Is the champion wheelman OF the world,
aud is now on his way to Chicago. where
be will participate in the great interna-
tional wheelmen's bicycle race which Will
be held there soon.
Mr.. Princes home is in Omaha, Neb.,
but he is an Englishman by birth. and
came to America in 1852.
He was then professional champion BIZ
cyclist of England. having defeated John
Heen of London, Fred Cooper of Sheffield,
Richard Howell of Wolyerhampton; also
all others for the championship of Eng
land. He also defeated Charles Terrout,
the French champion. and Woodside, the
Irish champion. He has held the profes-
sional championship of America for nine
years, defeating all corners. lie holds
every worlds record from 100 miles 10
l,042 miles The latter distance was made
in Minneapolis in 1885 in race for 81. oGO a
side against Schock, the German cham
pion. Prince was only out OF bis
saddle six minutes during TINS
long ride He went down to Florida last
Novem Der to train in the south, so as TO
be in fine condition for the worlds fair
championship races, which commence IN
three weeks. While in the south he ran
several races against fast horses, being
unable to get any bicycle riders to match
him. He also had races against ho-ses
in Cuba, which were very exciting. lie
says he is open TO race any man living, any
distance for any amount up to sl,00O- lie
rides the FowIey racing bicycle, which
only weighs % pounds, geared up TO az
inch. He wi stay in the city for SIX
or seven days and would like TO make a
match to race any horses that can be put
against him while he is training here. 1t
is to be hoped that some local horsemen
who has fast horses will take up this
challenge, SO that the people of Wichita
will have chance to see man who has
met and conquered the world Oh wheels.
His record for a quarter mila is 70 seconds
and his mile record is close to two minutes.
Princes riding weight is 10 pounds and
his muscles are as hard as steel he has a
lung expansion of nine inches and can
bring his shoulder blades so close together
that he can hold a dime between them
He will visit the local wheelmen today
and no doubt will interest them as WITCH
tia is particularly interested now since
one of her sons made such an astonis hing
record at Fort Scott.
