A WAITING GAME.
GREAT STRUGGLE FOR CONTROL OF
THE KANSAS LEGlSLAT URE.

Republicans and Popnlists Each Elect a
Speaker and omcsrs and Are Camped
on the Ground-voting for United
States Senator Begun in Montana.
Topeka, Kan. Jan. 0.-The pre-
dicted clash between the Republicans
and Populists of Kansas has come, but
in totally unexpected manner. The
Populists made bold bluff to exclude
from participation those members
against whom contests are pending.
The Republicans would not listen to
such proposition, which would mean
the surrender of the house to the enemy,
and the result is that two houses are or
ganized and in full blast side by side in
the same room. 1t has settled down to
a case of freeze out and the side with
the most endurance will win.
After the house was called to order
by the secretary of state the Repub-
licans and Populists each elected a
speaker and full set of officers and all
day long the two speakers sat side by
side while confusion reigned on the floor.
Camping on the Ground.
The Republicans seem to have come
loaded with petitions and bills in antic-
ipation of dual organization, as Clerk
Royce had an exhaustible supply and
where there was a lull in the proceedings
produced them. The Democrats are
quietly watching the two and taking no
part in the proceedings.
The Populists had been provided with
a large quantity of bologne sausage and
made them into sandwiches and these
were served in lieu of supper. They an
nounce that they are in the hall to stay
and are confident they will rout the Re-
pulicans and finally capture the organi-
cation. At Z p. m. the situation is
unique and interesting{ Both sides are
camping on the field orbattle and both
say they will stay unvl the other tire
out.

plan with enthusiasm, but used, instead Of
barrels, lot of tierces or hogSheads, each
large enough for thousand rats
The scheme worked finely. and the first

Some persons have thought it curious
that the big transatlantic liners should al
ways moor to their piers with their bow
inshore. To the uninitiated il appears
more natural for them to back into their
slips and moor with their stern inshore,
and as matter of fact nearly all Of the
smaller class of steamships do this But
there are reasons including certain dock
regulation why the larger vessels adopt
the opposite method OF getting alongside
their wharves.
One is that their great draft compels
them to regulate the hour of sailing by
the tide. Ii is generally running a flood
tide when they back ont from their piers.
The current sweeps the stern up the river,
20 that there is little difficulty experienced
in getting the ships head pointed down
the bay.
Another reason is that the majority OF
the big passenger vessels have prelimi
nary dock trial of their engines before they
cast off their moorngs. Tomake sure that
the machinery is in perfect order the trial
generally lasts for three or four hours. II
moored with stern inshore the backwater
from the propellers would be apt to stir up
a quantity of i'll smelling mud. besides do
ing damage to the dock itself.
The coaSting vessels are not so particu
lar. and only turn their propellers over a
few times before casting off their lines. On
account of their slight draft they are indie
pendent of the tide and can 20 to sea when
