people Of Kansas:
In this address 10 the following call to
arms:
''Your chief magistrate cannot for a mo-
msnt doubt that you will countenance such
conduct a. that of determining to compel
him to put the overburdeded taxpayers OF
the state to the expense Of using force to 80
cure submission to the authority you have
conferred nor will you, after such defiance
of rightful authority, rightly or erroneously
exercised, hold him responsible for tho un-
happy spectacle such an exhibition of force
under such circumstances must present to
the world, nor for the still more unhappy
conquenc:s which might follow such YER
liable necessity"

A Crisis In Egypt.

LONDON, January 25.-An Egyptian crisis
exists. The khedive has intimated to Lord
Roseberry his intention to refer to tho Turk
ish sulten and to the treaty powers the &C
ton of England in causing the dismissal of
the Fakhari cabinet
The multitude takes sides with the khedive
and against what they call infidel dictation.
Nh. Gladstone caused q cabinet meeting to
be called to consider the situation. The
council sat for two hours. When the cabi-
net adjourned it was to reasonable at
o'clock p. III.
The prolonged session of the cabinet IS
understood to be due to q difference of opin-
ion as to the necessity of reinforcing the
British army of occupation in Egypt, both
with a view to protecting British interests at
Cairo and to protecting the frontier against
the dervishes, who have recently become
very menacing. Information is received
that the French government, while refrain
ing from OBJ ecting to Riaz Pasha as premier,
would maintain the right of the khedive to
choose his ministera

Governor Lewelling has issued, officially.
statement of the reasons of his proceed
lngs In recognizing the populist branch Of
tho house and says the senate was probably
governed by the same considerations. The
statement is lengthy, but the entire case Is
cot ont in the following:
Every step that has been taken is sus-
tanned by law and precedent, as we'll as by
the decision of the courts relating to such
precedents. The republican contingent has
proceeded in defiance of law, contrary to
every precedent, against the decision of the
courts, and IN defiance of the legally consti-
tuted authorities of the state. If it were for
q moment granted that their claims were
valid, still the only authority competent un-
der the law to pass upon them has decided
against them. AS law-abiding citizens,
therefore, it is their duty to submit to the de-
cision. and, if they believe an injustice has
been done them, appeal to TIE higher court
the people of the state. Any other course
places them in open rebellion against the
legally constituted authorities of the state
and renders them liable to the penalties in
such cases provided.
It 10 my desire that there be no further
complication growing out of this unfortu-
to SEQ that tho authority of the state is re-
spected by all citizens, and it must not
longer be disregarded by those who are now
engaged in the illegal proceedings In the
house.
In reply the speaker and speaker pro tenn
OF the republican branch of the house issued
q statement denying the truth of certain as
sertions of the governor, and in going over
the history of the case in hand, maintain
the strict legality of their organization.
Their reply concludes:
'Tf, after a majority of tho members of
Q house have regularly organized and pro-
ceeded to business, a minority of So men,
bers, by first mutilating an official roll and
calling in 10 contestants for seats, can Or
kanize house of representatives., then one
member can do so with the aid of sixty
two contestants, and there is an end to even
the semblance of constitutional government.
\ If tho recognition of tho governor and the
senate can make such a body part of the
Legislature, there is little necessity of elect
ing q house of representatives by the people,
for its political mplexion will always be at
the mercy of partisan governor and par
tisan senate. If anybody had ever supposed
that such was the law, Governor Humphrey
and the republican senate two years ago
might by their mere recognition" of a
minority body have wiped out the populist
house and created republican house out of
the twenty five republican members at that
time with the aid of an outside contingent.
Such Is not the law, never has been, and
never will be.
''Our struggle is not for party supremacy.
but for the supremacy of law and order. and
for the maintenance OF the basic principle

ates, until the courts decide the issue in

democrats was received offering to trade the
democratic votes with the republicans, the
democrats agreeing to vote for George W..
printer, If the republicans would agree to
vote for the democratic nominee-yet to 30
named-for United States senator.
The republicans declined to agree to tho
proposition although many of the iepubli-
cans expressed Q willingness to vote for q
init the i've or six democrats who would 60
into such a combination to dictate who they
should vote for.
At o'clock the following resolution was
introduced in the house by Mr.. Cubbison,

cant for which republicans hold certificates.
Following is the list of republicans oustsd |:
J; A. Campbell, Doniphan; A. c. Sherman,
shawnee; r. y. Citing, Ness; Peter Bowers,

The populiss house of Representatives is
now ready to proceed to business in the reg
ular way and will hereafter pay NO attention
whatever to the republican end of the house
of representatives.
Enough contest cases have now been
acted on BY the popullsts to give them what
they consider q safe mar;orlty without
counting in the republican members q

TOPEKA. January 23.-When the resolution
introduced by Senator Sterne to have COM
mlttes appointed to examine election returns,
to SEQ if any illegal result had been declared,
came up Senator Sterne said the resolution
was q simple one that did not need refer
ence. He said: The adoption of this rese-
luton will cause very little labor or expense.
A large number of persons have openly
claimed that the will of tho people was de-
feated in 1890 and 1892 by those having tho
election returns in charge. If these returns
were in any manner changed the people
ought to known it"
Senator Baker spoke against tho reference
and against the resolution. He said the
people Of Kansas wore a. honest as those of
any other state and he Gid not think the
peoples money should be wasted in q use-
less investigation that would do no one any
good.

The republicans of tho Kansas senate and

morning at 9 O'Clock aud took a ballot for
state printer. Eighty members were pres
ent, all of whom voted for George W..

Representatives Chambers and Meagher
were absent Rosenthal (dem.) voted for
Crane It requires 50 to elect.
The republicans have reason to believe
that this 10 tho last opportunity that the re-
publican senators will have of all meeting
together to vote for state printer.
The senate elections committee has begun
work, and no one believes that it will con-
sumo much time in deciding contest cases
against republicans. Six senators have had
that Senator Baker will be removed because
he presided at the joint session of the repub-

The five senators are Scott of Allen, Car

Danner of Harvey. and Thacher of Douglas.
