Adolf Wermuth, the imperial German
commissioner to the Columbian expo

holds high place in his native country.
He is privy councillor of the German
empire and a valued adviser in the
counsels of the government, He was
selected to look after Gernany's inter"

his former experience in exposition
work. He represented his government

fair and then went back to Germany to
work up the exhibit. in this way he

something About the Man Elected by
Democrats and PopuIists.
No senatorial contest for some time
past has attracted such wide attention
as the great battle in Kansas which re-
suited in the selection of Hon. John
Martin, the favorite of the combined
democrats and populists. The contest
even surpassed in interest the case Of
Edward Murphy, Jr., in New York,
where President-elect Cleveland open
ly but in vain opposed the election of
Murphy.
The battle in Kansas, however, was
to decide whether the democrats or re-
publicans were to control the United
States senate, and although Martin was
declared elected by the fusionists the
republican state senators of Kansas and
the separate house organized by the re-
publicans will probably send a repub-
