TO Make Two States of Kansas.

TorEKA Kan, Jan. 12.-Mr. Hop
kins, representative from Finney Coun-
ty, has prepared Il bill having for its
purpose the division of Kansas into
two States. He has secured the CO.
operation of most of the western and
parties, and is hopeful of getting leg
islative action. The principal reason
he urges is that the western part of
the State constitutes the principal bor-
rowing section, and therefore requires
more liberal laws regarding mortgages
than does the eastern or more wealthy
part. He is sanguine of success,
though the matter has not been gen
generally discussed.

1t is the opinion of leading lawyers

rehearinG of either of the treasury
cases will be asked. Arguments last
ing nearly two weeks have twice been
given by the ableSt attorneys i'll the
State-Once i'll the circuit court and
again i'll the supreme CORTLAND there
seems nothing more to say. The only
possible excuse the defendants could
have for asking Il reheaIing is because
they could i'll that way put off the time
of payment at least thirty days.
The defeated eX-treaSurers have no
right of appeal to the supreme court
of the United States, though if the state
had lost it could have appealed. Ev-
cry one is asking, now that the great
treasury case has been decided, VIVA is
to be the result? When and by what
authority will the treaSurcrs be made
to return the money to the state, and
as the amount involved is nearly $780,

interest i'll this boost to their treasury.
If a rehearing is not asked the SUI
preme court must, after thirty days
from Judgment, refer the case to the
circuit court, where decision is affirmed,
for execution. Within sixty days after
the action of the circuit court the sher-
if must collect and return to the state
the money. The matter of petitioninG
the legislature to get it to reduce the
amount that the x-treasurers will have
to pay-perhaps to throw off the inter-
est-is talked of seiously, and some
think it is altogether probable that the
legislature would be willing to do this.

WILL NOT OPPOSE CLEVELAND.

Senator HHI Defines the Position of
himself as Democrat.
New YORK, Jan Ii. "A Washington
special to the Herald saws:
"Mr. Cleveland, as President will
have no trouble with the opposition ;"
This statement was made by Sena tor
Hill. Mr. Hill says the assumption
that any combination will be made to
oppose Mr. Cleveland or his nomina-
tious for Cabinet or other positions in
the government is absurd.
The presumption, said Senator
Hill tonight, that there would be a
com bination between Senator Murphy
and myself is preposterous. Mr.. Cleve-
land has been elected president by the
Democratic party, and as Democrats
both Senator Murphy and myself are
obliged to support him whether we
want TO or not"
This admission on the part of Mr..
Hill is an important one. 1t Indicates
quite clearly the future policy Of the
alleged Hin element in the United
States Senate, and disposes effectually
OF all rumor that Senator Hill and his
colleague from New York in the Sen
ate would make binatiO1 to de-
fea any nominations which might be
sent in by President Cleveland.
