THE KANSAS WAR is OVER
THE WARNING FACTIONS HAVE LAID
DOWN 7HEIR ARMS.
1t is Practically Victory for the Repub-
licans, Who Want the Supreme Court
to Decide Which is the Legally
Organized Body.

Topeka, Kan, Fec 1.-The war is
over. rhe plan jointly formulated by
the governor and committee of the Re.
publican house was adopted by the
house and "Clio, " irescoed On the walls
over the speakers chair this alter
noon, looked down on the triumphant
forces OF vict )rious Republicans.
The agreement, signed by Governor
Le%elliug and three committeeman
from the house and adopted by the
Republican body, is as follows:
ut being the understanding that
the house presided over 10y Dinsmore
has secured u hall in which 10 meet,
the house presided over by Dough lass
shall remain in possession of The hall
which IL has secured, and il So desired
it may select room in the state house
for its meetings."
TINS came after hours of delay
awaiting Interchange OF propositions.
The memorandum submitted by
the governor to the Republicans late
last night was not adopted by The
Repub lean house. 1t was referred to
the peace committee with the sugges-
lion that 1t 10 iavOrabiy acted on,
provided tue governor at their Inter-
euce this morning declined to accept
the terms of agreement as sent him
late yesterday afternoon. The peace
committee met with the governor and
his councillors IN the governors office
at 8 o'clock. At noon the conference
reached an agreement, and the prOpo.
sitiOn as already noted WAS unlimited
to the dual houses.
In the Republican hail speaker
Douglas and several members spoke
III favor OF the proposition explaining
that possession OF the hall for which
the war had been waged had been
gained. Rejection OF the plan meant
"a repetition OF serious troubles and,
probable fatalities. The ratification ,
OF 1t meant peace and victory Tor the
Repu olieans. Other members spoke
against and Tor the proposition until
finally II demand was made for the
previous question. Amidst great en-
lhuslasm the question was put and
! with u mighty yell carried. The rep
reeentalives mounted their desks, hats
ana canes were sent flying in the air
and applause fingered and was heard
IN every nook and corner of the CAPT,
toI.
1t was dreary vigil the Republi-
cans passed last night. The hours
passed slowly. When dawn came the
usual proceedings to secure food be.
gun. IL came as already known. To
the guards on the outside the night
was 0y no means chetrinl. Snow fell
to tt depth of u foot but tho soldiers
maintained line through the storm
and the guards relieved this morning.
| The relief found we'll beaten path to
tread. During the forenoon nothing
occurred out Of what had now become
dull routine until q little after noon
when d compromise was reached and.
the cruel war WAS ended.
WILL NOT COME TOGETHER.
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 1.-THE armed
posse OF deputy sherifIs have been
disbanded and the Republicans and
Populists alike have laid down their
arms, but the events OF the last few
days and their final result will have
no effect on the unfortunate Legislative
middle. There will be no amulg anna
ton of the bodies.
WILD AND WOODY PoPULIsTs.
The Populisis say the Populist
house will go right ahead making
laws as If there was no such things as
courts, no mater what the courts
may do. The senate will continue to-
rec"gnize the house aud the governor
will sign bills passed by it. Should
the bills be declared invalid by reason
Of having been passed by an illegal
house, then. say the Populists, the
blame will rest on the courts. In case
such thing comes to pass the state
institutions, colleges, asylums,
schools, etc., will doubtless have to
close. Tonight the city is very quiet
and the Republican members 20 to
their homes TO spend the Sabbath.
The troops have all left town and
deputy sheriffs who have been on con-
tinuous duty since yesterday morn
ing have gone home for much needed
rest.
