WASHINGTON, April 13. - Seventy
seven members of the Kansas Legisla-
ture who ask that an investigation be
made into the right of Mr.. Martin to a
seat as Senator from Kansas, say that if
these seventy-seven members had been
permitted to vote no one would have had
majority of all the votes cast in joint
assembly and there would have been no
election of United States Senator. They
have, therefore, resolved to entera solemn
protest against what they declare to be a
revolutionary and illegal transaction, and
have instructed the President of the Joint
assembly to appoint committee to pre-
pare formal statement and an emphatic
protest to the Senate of the United States.

ate to-day.

STILL THEY CONE.
A Case in Wheeling Against the
Freelands.

IL will be remembered by the
readers OF the REGISTER that six
or seven weeks ago $40 bill, rsised
to a $50, was passed at Emsheimer' s
dry good store by woman who
purchased $3.50 cloak and got
$3.50 change for $50 bill. After
her departure it was ascertained the
bill had been "raised," but the
woman made good her escape. La
ter n woman identified as Mrs.
Belle Freeland, OF Terra Alta,
passed several similar bills in Chi
cago, but was finally arrested, and
two or three "raised" notes were
found on her. There is no doubt
this woman was the same party who
passed the bill at Emsheimer's and
through the efforts of Sheriff Franz
helm a warrant has been prepared
for her and the necessary papers
forwarded to Chicago. If the pros
ecutIon fails there, the woman will
be brought to this city, indicted
and placed upon trial.

between Governor VIM. A. Mac

land and immigrant agent of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, rela-
tive to statement that Swiss Con-
sui Schomberg had reported that
good land titles could not be OBJ
tanned in West Virginia, and that
the whole state was under cloud,
etc. The Governor writes to Mr..
Richards that the statement is
utterly unjust. and he adds that he
wishes to state, in his professional
capacity as lawyer, technically
familiar with West Virginia land
titles, as well as in his position as
governor, that land titles are as
good in West Virginia as in any
state of the Union.

The new tariff bill is the princi-
pal topic of conversation among
Congressman, now quite plentiful
in Washington, and becoming more
so upon She arrival of every train.
There is much less clicking"
among Democrats than the mem
bers of the committee expected, and
very much less than existed among
Republicans after the publication of
the Mckinley bill. The fact is
generally recognized by the Demo-
Gratis that the Wilson bill is one
that will i'll the end be generally
beneficial to the entire country,
although like most great reforms it
will necessarily carry temporary
hardship to some individuals, and
that is where the great strength of
the bill lies; it is a tariff bill for the
many, not for the few. The Dem
ocrats who framed it arc true be-
levers in the doctrine OF the great
est good to the greatest number.
The Republicans who in disparage-
ment OF the bill said it was built
upon the lines of the Walker tariff
OF 1916, could hardly have given
the bill greater praise, as : the Wal
ker tariff was one of the best thu
country ever had, and the people of
all classes were never more pros
porous than while it was in exist
ence.

The Democrats Of the Committee
on Ways and Means are now at
work upon the Internal Revenue
bill which is TO furnish the reven ne
that will be lost by reforming the
tariff. 1t is estimated that this loss
will be somewhere between $50, !.
100000 and $50, zoe, 600 a year.
The Democrats Of the Committee
have but one thought in preparing
this bill, and that is, to impose the
taxes ID such a manner that they
will bear the lightest upon those
who have to work for their living.
and as they are all men OF wide ex-
perience and great ability they will
doubtless report a satisfactory bill.
