TOPEKA, Feb. l7.-f John Brown could
have spent yesterday in Topeka he would
have been immensely interested. How
ever, il the former resident of the "Sun-
flower state, whose @soul is marching on"
had been here there might have been more
real war and less bluffing. 1t was day of
waiting and resting on arms The militia
guarded the capitol grounds, the deputy
sergeants-at-arms stood behind barricades
and guarded the capitol and the hall of
house, and the deputy sheriffs overran the
whole town. Guns were everywhere
stacked mp; in the corridors of hotels. in the
hands Of militiamen, on the shoulders of
the men who had poured in from every sec.
of the state. There was no fighting, not
even street fight Men felt the response
bility Of the hour and no one was anxious
to do anything that would start the battle
Lewelling Sues for Peace.
Last night the Republicans had all the
best Of the situation. The Populists
realized that they could not depend upon
the militia to attack the hall and they
were afraid to attempt to do anything with
their companies of provisional troops
Lewelhng had sued for peace, or done
what amounts to the same thing in asking
the Republicans to submit compromise
proposition. The proposition, which is ex-
tremeiy favorable to Republicans, has been
submitted to the governor and he has
taken day to consider and answer it.
Until he answers it things will remain in
statu quo with the Republicans in posses
sion of the hall The supreme court may
act today and put an end to the struggle.
Proposition of the Republicans.
The proposition which the governor set
about considering was that the Republi-
cans dismiss all the proceedings in con-
tempt except the Gum case; that the
sheri fl dismiss his deputies; that the gov
ernor dismiss the militia from duty; that
the Republicans have full and undisturbed
possession of the hall of the house of repre-
sentatives: that the Republicans will not
interfere with the Dunsmore house, and
that the clerks of the rival houses shall be
arrested, and habeas corpus proceedings be
instituted in both cases before the supreme
court for immediate decision
Twenty Weak-Kueed Populists
Nothing startling happened last night
When the governor received the proposition
of the Republican house he sent back word
that he would have to submit it TO his ad-
visers. The Republicans agreed to allow
him until this morning to answer it. The
Populists met last night, but did nothing
OF any consequence except to wrangle Bit
terly among themselves over the situation.
They are handicapped by the fact that
twenty of their members are very weak
kneed, and are ready to join the Repub
ican house at the first opportunity.

KANSAS LYNcHING.
A Negro Hanged at Salina for Murde

A Negro Hanged at SaIina for Murder.
ousiy AssauIting Station Agent.
SALINA, Kan, April 21.-Maddened
by the recent outrage upon Mrs. j. NJ.
Frost and infiamed by the exciting
scenes attendant upon the repeated at
tempts to lynch her supposed assailant,
the people of Salina meted out swift
and severe justice to would-be muir
derer last night.
At an early hour yesterday morning
Dan Adams, a worthless negro, COM
mitted a murderous assault upon Troy
Shout, night freight agent at the Union
Pacific depot. He was pursued, cap
tured, a few hours later tried, convicted
and sentenced to seven years in the
penitentiary and at 500 o'clock his
dead body was hanging from tele-
graph pole.
After Adams had been sentenced in
the district court Under Sheriff Phil
lips took the prisoner, expecting to
leave for Lansing on the Santa Fe at 8
o'clock. He had boarded the cars and
secreted Adams under the seat when
the mob entered the car. 1t over
powered the officers and tied rope
about Adams neck. A crowd of men
waited outside, which Immediately
took the negro in charge and fastened
with him to the Union Pacific depot, a
distance of three blocks. One end of
the rope was thrown over step of the
telegraph pole at the hack stand and
the negro was speedily hanged. Life
was extinct in a few seconds.
The crime which Adams paid with
his life was, as stated, murderous as
sault with razor upon Troy Shout,
night freight agent at the Union Pa
cific. Early in the morning Shout began
sweeping out the waiting-room when
he found four negroes sleeping there
He ordered them out and two started
to obey, but one of them, Dan Adams,
started to argue the point, and bitter
words passed between them. Adams
finally started to go, but stopped upon
reaching the door, drew a razor from
his pocket and rushed upon Shout.
Shout struck him with fre-shovel,
when Adams closed in and commenced
swinging his razor with fearful effect.
Adams brother came to the rescue
and held Shout while Dan did the cut
ting. Help from the office came on
hearing shouts and cries for mercy and
the negroes took to fight. Sheriff An
derson was notified, and with several
policemen started in pursuit, capturing
the fleeing negroes three miles out of
town. Adams razor was found lying
on the ground where he had thrown it
when the officers reached him. Adams
was brought to town ard placed in the
county jail until yesterday afternoon,
when he was brought into the district
court now in session. He pleaded
guilty to the charge and was given the
full extent of the law, seven years in
the penitentiary. The lynching then
followed. Shout may possibly recover.

Attack the Guards at the Tracy CITY
Convict Camp.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 2l.-The boom of
cannon at o'clock yesterday morning aroused
ike citizens in the vicinity of the state capital
and summoned the four companies of the state
yards who had been sleeping on their arms in
anticipation of a call to Tracy City. Gen. Fife
as just received information that an at
tack had been made the stockade around
the branch prison Battery and
panieS 9, D, E and F were gathered and at
once prepared to leave the scene. A special
train Was in readiness, but the troops were
slow in getting their traps together, and it was
after O'Clock when the train pulled out.
Breakfast was had at Cowan, and at II: 40 the
special started up the noun taius, 81 miles to
Tracy City
No trouble was had and at 1:4O the train
pulled into the little mining town All was
then quiet, and the troops at once went into
camp around the stockade. The last telegram
received says no immediate trouble or danger
is feared.
Wednesday nights fight, it seems, was hot
one, and lasted over an hour. It began at IL
O'Clock, but no news of it reached here because
the telegraph Office was closed The prison Of
fcials had been warned, and the thirty eight
guards slept with their clothes on. Pickets
were placed around the stockade, and they gave
warning at IL o'clock that the miners were ap-
preaching The guards were hurriedly awak-
ened and placed in position. Since last sum-
mer's trouble the stockade had been forti-
fed and portfolios cut in the block
houses When the miners reached the
stockade the leaders demanded to know upon
what terms the convicts would be surrendered
Deputy Warden ShriverS replied that they
would not be surrendered at all Then after
short parley firing begun One of the leaders
was captured and taken into the stockade, but
later released promise dispense his
friends. He failed to do SO, however, and the
firing continued until 12:15. The night was
dark and rain was falling and this doubtless
prevented the stockade being destroyed by dy-
Mantle.
The miners finally withdrew after midnight
the number of their wounded being unknown.
During the fight Deputy Warden Shriver was
shot in the face. S. A Walden, guard was
shot in the abdomen and will die The body Of
Bob Irving. a miner was discovered short
distance from the stockade. It is known that

A DENVER MYSTERY.
Death of Man Who Is Said to Have
Been Secretary to Boss Tweed.

Death of Man Who Is Said to Have
Been Secretary to Boss Tweed.
DENVER, Col, April pa most mys-
terious case has puzzled the officials Of
the county hospital, and last night at
ESQ Dick O'Donnell died of consumption
and alcoholism, leaving his identity I'M
known save to woman named Mrs. H.
Raabe, who has daily visited this pa
tent. This man has wealthy friends
in New York city, who have but lately
been advised of his condition, yet all of
their instructions have been carried out
in secrecy. 1t is believed that O'Don-
nell is an assumed name. He is said to
have been relative of ex-Mayor Grace,
Of New York. Last week O'Donnel1
called in young attorney to make his
will. but feeling better, he refused to
talk. A day or two later Mrs. Raabe
sent out another lawyer and will was
made out. So secretly was this done,
however, that no witness was called in
to attest the signature, unless some pa
tient in the ward has done SO.
The officials at the hospital have been
told by the woman that they must not
allow the body to be moved without
her instructions. She will personally
direct the disposition of it. The de-
ceased was SO years old, of medium
build, feet 9 inches in height,
wore a red beard and had quite pro-
nounced Roman nose. He has for sew
eral years worked in restaurants and
saloons in this city, but has acquired
no property here, and his will must re-
late to affairs in New York city.
1t is reported here that O'Donnell

police judge and an alderman at various
times

TERRIBLE FATE.
Twenty-one Men Perish in the Water
works Crib at milwaukee,.

Twenty-one Men Perish in the Water
works Crib at milwaukee,.
MILWAUKEE, April 21.-The house
over the waterworks crib was swept
away yesterday and twenty-five
men at work there were rendered help
less. Five or six men could be seen
clinging to the machinery and timbers
with fierce waves sweeping over them.
Five of the life-saving crew refused to
obey orders to go out in the lifeboat
and the tug Starke left the harbor
about 9:30 o'clock, but was forced to
return as the sea broke in her pilot
house windows.
Later the tug Welcome ventured out
with the life-savers and succeeded in
reaching the crib. They found one
man, whom they rescued. He will
probably die from exposure and eX-
haustiOn. He was so exhausted when
taken on board the tug that he was I'M
unable to speak, but recovered sufh
GENTLY before being taken to the
hospital to be able to tell those
about him that his companions were all
in the air chamber below the crib. 1t
is believed they are all suffocated.
At $50 o'clock in the morning huge
waves began dashing to the top of the
crib house and soon they swept away
the frail building and it's contents. The
men at the crib had all gone into the
air chamber and none were swept away.
All morning the waves were fifteen
feet high and dashed over the crib, and
all that could be seen of it was two
posts and the pumps, two large boilers,
the engine, the air compressor plant
and 10000 brick having, been washed
off. Shortly after o'clock a man was
seen clinging to the fragment of the
pump. Then the work of rescue was
begun. That man was the only one
saved.
All this time the huge waves beat
over the huge government breakwater
ceaselessly and destroyed about fifty
feet of the superstructure of the north
ern arm. The shore line from Wiscon-
sin street north to the flushing tunnel
pumping works was strewn with this
breakwater wreckage, causing an i'm
preston that some lumber carrying
craft had been lost outside with all
hands

Another Destructive Cyclone Reported in
Arkansas.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark, April 21.-At
noon terrific cyclone passed through
the valley just south of this place. Its
path was about 800 yards wide, leaving
a barren waste behind it. It swept
everything, uprooted trees, tore down
fences and destroyed houses. Many
houses were utterly demolished, and
many families are in the storm tonight
without shelter. Out OF one family
whose names are Wright, consisting Of
eight persons, not one escaped injury.
They are all seriously injured, but it is
probable that all except one child will
recover. They have been removed to a
farm house near by and surgeons from
this place have given their assistance.
Parts of the house fwere carried for a
mile away. News as yet is meager. A
number of others are reported injured.
