The New Steamships,

New YORK, February 2a-The navy de-
partment has completed the designs of a

Appeal to the People.

The populist caucus discussed the situs-
ton from the hour of the decision of the
supreme court on Saturday until late Mon
day evening, and reached the conclusion to
submit to the law and the court decision
under protest, with an appeal to the people
in 1894.
The determination was much repeated
that there should be no legislation this ses-
sion other than the appropriation bills.
This seemed to be the common sentiment
among them; the members of the house re-
lying upon the senate to carry out this plan.
Each house and the governor announce
their purpose of issuing manifesto to the
people, giving history of the controversy
and their arguments.
Governor Lewelling said he was going
to recognize the republican house because
it seems to be the wish of the populist sen-
ators and representatives, and not because
he thought it was the legal house, for he did
not think 1t was the legal house.
Soon after recognizing the republican
house the populists will present a protest
from all the fifty-four members which they
will ask to be spread upon the journal of the
house.

Decided Opposition,

TOPEKA, March 1.-speaker Douglass
said there ought by all means to be spe-
cial session of the legislature. l am IN favor
of passing the worlds fair bill and def
cheney appropriation bill and then adjourn
ing to the latter part of April or May to
take up the other appropriation bills and
other measures which ought to receive care
full attention from the legislature. Many
of the farmers want to 60 home and take
care of their blowing. An adjournment to
May would give them time to look after
matters at home and return here to finish
up work.
There is decided opposition to q special
session among the pOpulists. They are will
ing to stay here about a week to finish up
the appropriation bills. but they cannot b
induced to remain longer than that.

Small Homes for Settlers.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. February 2S.-It is
universally agreed by the friends of the Cher
okee strip bill that this has been an exasper-
ating week. They we're almost sure they
would be able to throw the bill in confer
ence, but owing to the failure of Speaker
Crisp to keep his word, they were doomed to
friShtful disappointment.
All through the week it has been a success
sion of disappointments and nothing has
appeared to lend encouragement but the
scheme of Senator Perkins to add the bill to
the Indian appropriation bill when the meas
ure reaches the senate. The Developments
along this line have been the favorable indi-
cations of the week.
In discussing the matter Chairman Peel
stated he had about concluded that the only
way to get the bill passed was to rely on the
Perkins amendment. He made this state
ment Immediately after he held a confer
snce with Speaker Crisp. He was given to
understand that he would not be allowed
time for the consideration of the bill until
the appropriation bills are disposed of.

Found Another Conspiracy.

Found Another Conspiracy.
WASHINGTON, d. c., February 28.-The
friends Of free silver and some who do not
advocate free coinage, but who are opposed
to contraction of the currency, think that
they have discovered in the language of tn.
Sherman bond amendment in the sundry
civil bill provision which would result in
an enormous contraction of the currency.
It is not probable that this bill, which
touches every branch of the public service,
will be permitted to fail, and the surrender
of the amendment by the senate, after q
demonstration of force on both sides, is ex-
pected.
Appropriation bills are often put in this
position at the close of congress, and the
sundry civil bill is no exception, although the
appropriation bills as whole are in q much
better state than usual. The thing which
the opponents of the bond amendment claim
to have discovered is this: The language of
the amendment is that the proceeds of the
bonds shall be used for the purpose named
in the resumption act and for no other pur-
pose. Under the resumption act the secretary
of the treasury had the right to call in and
cancel, after the LIST of January, 1876, all the
outstanding greenbacks. amounting, at that
time, to about $346. 0O0, 600.
AS this was gradually contracting the cur
rency, the act of 1873 was passed providing
that these greenbacks when called in might
be reissued by the secretary of the treasury.
Now the Sherman amendment that comes
from the senate repeats by implication the
act of 1873 and limits the proceeds of these
bonds TO the purpose mentioned in the re-
sumption act, which is the absolute cancella-
tion of every outstanding greenback as soon
as handed in for redemption. This would
contract the currency to such an extent that
it would necessarily bring on q crisis.

Feed Your Corn,

WASHINGTON, d. C. March L-Secretary
Rusk, of the department of agriculture, says
that farmers in all parts of the country are
inquiring a. to the probable profit of feed.
ing corn to hogs at present prices. He de-
e,res to state the prospects for large returns
from judicious hog feeding has never been
go bright a. now. In average years it takes
about nine pounds of hog. live weight. to
bring the price of bushel of corn. This
year five pounds of hog brings as much as a
bushel of corn. If ten pounds of pork are
made from a bushel of corn, which may be
taken as fair return, then the present price
of hogs would make corn bring about IS
cents a bushel if fed to these animals, which
10 about twice a. much as it is quoted at on
the Chicago market.
Instead of sending pigs and half fat hogs
to market, as many have done, only to find
that such animals we're unfit for packing
and would bring but a comparatively small
price, these animals should be kept on the
farm and fattened on corn which is now 50
cheap in the market.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March The de-
partment Of agriculture has has just com.
pleted ito cattle census. The results are
startling. There is decrease shown in the
number of stock cattle and it u of such pro-
portions as will have q marked effect on
prices the coming year. The statistics show:
The scarcity of food in Virginia induced
farmers to sell of feeding bullscks closely.
The no-fence law in some of the southern
states has caused reduction of numbers, the
more worthless of the old stock having been
sacrificed to the manifest improvement Of
the existing herds. The low pnce of cattle
in the ranch regions, and the discourage
mont after long waiting for rise, have
tended to reduce the numbers of cattle. In
many cases the growers of cattle have trans
ferred their interest to horses. There ap-
pears little change in numbers of mich cows,
slight decline being reported in some
states, and q small increase in others, es-
pecially in tho districts of charging popu-
latlon in the distant west There il less
fuctuation in this class of farm animals
than in any other, rs the milk supply must
be kept up. and ample provision made for
the relative unifrom requirements of butter
and cheese factories"
But the census of stock cattle shows there
are 1857 ,43 fewer now than one year ago.
An increase in value over last year il noted,
and the statistician says:
''In the case of cattle it seems to be the
beginning of an advance, which promises
still higher values to growers, in sympathy
with tho rise in prices of beeves ready for
slaughter"
Tho reduction in the number of hogs in
tho country Is made still more notable BY
tho completion of the department census.
The country has 6, 800, 2l2 fewer hogs than
one year ago. The decrease is about twelve
per cent

Gypsum Advocate: Steve Kouns
says that the winter has been favorable

Arkansas City Traveller: Some OF
the cattlemen are moving their cattle
to the pastures south because it ID
time the assessor was making his
rounds.
Jewell City Republican: The stalk
cutters are running every fair day. The
farmers have commenced booming and
it will be hard to check them. By the
time they get their oats and corn plant
ed in the spring the wheat they now
claim to be dead will be large.
ElDorado Republican: J. A. Hall
sold to Knox Bros seven head of hogs
Tor which he received S2l9.SO, or, in
other words, they brought S31.40 per
head. Mr.. H. says hogs have gone SO
high and they grow SO big down on
Hickory that they don't price them by
the pound. but sell them by the head,
as they do horses and cattle.
Olathe Patron: Hiram Curtis, of this
city, sold in Kansas City 439 head of

The supply Of cattle from Texas on

that state during the winter months is

it must tend to reduce the summer glut.
Prices this time Of the year are always
better than when the rush is on in the
summer and fall. The trouble has been
to get cattle in Texas in a marketable
condition this time of the year. But
with oOttonseed, alfalfa and prickly
pear as aids, the supply of cattle for the
winter market is steadily growing each
year, and promises to continue to grow.
Between 600 and 700 cattle we're in the

the newly appointed railroad commissioners,
went to the Office of the board and found
Commissioner Mitchell and the clerks there.
Mr.. Osborne handed Mr.. Mitchell a written
notice that his successor had been elected

Office over Immediately. Mr.. Mitchell 20
litely refused, stating that he had been elect
ed for term of three years, and when his
term expired he would gladly surrender the
keys.
M. Hall then spoke up: Then. Mr.. Sec
rotary, the executive council must take pos
session of these rooms and remove all in

turned in few minutes and made another
demand of Mr.. Mitchell for the keys. you

I hope the executive council will not resort

Secretary Osborne again left the room. but
soon returned the third time, and announced
that he had arranged for a room for Vincent

Commissioner Mitchell said: 1T is not
my desire to prolong this controversy. If We
are not the railroad commissioners we are
ready to vacate the Office. The quicker this
question is settled the better for all con-
cerned. The interests of the public demand
that it be settled speedily, and if the other
side commences quo warranto proceedings
We will do all in our power to hasten the de-
cision of the courts"
In case of this kind the postal authorities
refuse to deliver mail to either of the con-
testing parties until the matter is settled by

GREECE A REPUBLIC.
A Story That King George Has Abb
dicated.

PARIS, July 3-The startling news
has been received here that revolution
has occurred in Greece; that King
George has abdicated, and that the
people of Athens, backed by the
soldiery, have proclaimed Greece a
republic.
The event was SO sudden and un.
expected that the particulars Of it are
as yet but mere rumors. No official
verifcaton of it can be obtained at this
hour, but, considering the dlssatisfac-
ton prevalent for some time, and ths
impulsive character of the people, it is
not regarded as improbable.
A cablegran similar to the above was
received in this city tonight by promi
nent Greek. Several Greeks were
seen in regard to it, but they had no
information to give. While surprised.
they thought it not improbable. Then
countrymen, they said, have long been
hoping and planning to make their
country an independent republic
