SENATORS STEWART AND HILL.
A Littie Tilt Over n Resoiusson In
troduced by the Former.

Senator Stewart succeeded In introducing
a bit of foreign matter into the delfbera-
lions of the Senate today by introducing q
resolution that promises TO provoke con-
siderable discussion. During the early pro-
ceedings he occupied himself by calling a
number Of Senators 10 his side and show
ing them a paper that caused a good deal
of amusement. Senator Hill especially saw
the humor OF IL, and after reading IL he
shrugged his shoulders. as IL 10 express a
disinclination to be associated with the
mysterious paper.
When at last the time came for its intro
duction IL proved more OF a Joke than n
had ever seemed. 1t provides for the ap-
pointment OF a committee OF five 10 inquire
whether or not any Senators have interests
in national banks. and IL so. how much and
FOR what length Of time. and giving the CON-
mittee power to administer oaths and to
summon persons and papers
Mr.. Stewart spoke at some length and
read number of letters that emanated
from what he termed THE organized lobby
of the Wall and Lombard street interests
calling attention 10 a solution of the finan-
ciai problem 10 be found in the granting Of
greater privileges TO the national banks.
He read from an ancient tome an amend
ment that was once proposed 10 the Consti-
tuition Of the United States declaring IL to
be lllegal Tor any person DOi1inS STOCK IN
national bank to sit In either the Senate or
the House.
Then he made a personal explanation IN
regard to his own interests. saying that
there had been some severe criticism Of
the silver state Senators as 10 their hold
ings I'm mines He had never held any in
terest In a silver mine. His wife once owned
a little stock In a mine located I'm Mexico,
but that was obliged 10 shut down on ac-
count OF the drop in the price of the white
metal and her interest ceased
Senator Hill at once mace a fierce attack
upon the resolution. which he characterized
as unwise.
Il cannot believe" he said that the
Senator from Nevada is serious I'm pressing
this resolution. II is unheard of and un-
precedented. IL cannot serve any very good
purpose. There must be something behind
II. IL must have been introduced because Of
the suggestion that has been made that the
advocates of free silver coinage hold inter-
ests in the mines ] hope that there will he
no attack made upon the Senators from the
silver states on that ground. What would
be the outcome OF this resolution In the
tariff discussion we should have investigat-
ing committees looking into every detail OF
the private business of Senators. Senators
have a perfect right 10 hold bank stock II
they have fortune enough. and the intro
duction of this resolution is a reflection
upon the Senate. The Senator is not en-
titled to the Information he seeks"
Senator Stewart started to reply, but he
raised the point Of order that Mr. Stewart
was not entitled to debate the subject. The
point was sustained and Senator Steyyar,
subside1. saying:
We'll YOU will hear from me in the morn
ing on this subject"

PREPARING FOR A RUSH

and Winfield were called upon and will
hereafter aid in meeting the demand. which
will increase during the coming few days.
The trains arriving at this point yester-
day morning consisted Of ten coaches loaded
not only inside. but on the platforms and
steps until they resembled huge street cars
at the close of business hours.
Teams that passed through Topeka ten
days ago made their appearance yesterday
morning, being the advance Of an army
that will swell the numbers here to added
thousands. For some unaccountable reason
the great rush appears to be for the east
end of the strip, where, while the lands are
good, there are already present a dozen
men to each quarter section.
novel feature Of the race will be the
bicycle race from the line south of this
point Fffty-four persons. thirty of whom
are women, have signified their intention
to enter the race and are getting their
pnumatics in order. They will each carry
eanteen of water. small lunch and a
blanket and will roll out over the lines
already selected In order to escape the sand
ana rough places. They are all here and
are practicing daily in order to harden
themselves for the race
In ADDITION to these, a number Of wheel
men are assembling at Orlando from which
point they propose to make the twelve-mile
run to Perry. Some of the Kansas City
and Topeka wheelmen came in on the train
yesterday morning. They were compelled
to abandon the road at Wichita and ship
In their wheels because Of the constantly
increasing numbers of wagons blockading
their way.

Catholics whose children attend the pa

jurisdiction of the city board of educa ton
now insist in view of the coming term of
school, that only Catholic teachers be en-
gagged there. The board of education is
willing to have two Catholic teachers but
contend that If Catholic teachers only
were engaged the school would become
once more one for Catholic religious in
struction and the purpose Of the Fariba ult
plan as expounded by Archbishop Ireland
would be lost.

board next month the lease Of the paroch-
