heard q conversation 10 Che effect that the
attorney general, John T. Little, was TO
meet the policy man, P. w. Kline, pri-
Vately in a certain room on che second floor
Of certain building Bituated on 5O2 Mime
sofa avenue, in said Kansas City, KRs., at q
certain hour.
That he saw Kline waiting and the said
J. 7. Little approaching, which convinced
him that what no had heard was about 10
take place; that aflant became intensely
curious 10 know the nature and che result
OF an interview between Kline and Little,
and finding an opportunity and inviting
one 3. W. Hubbard, also a director in said
association, who was standing near by, TO
accompany him; they passed up the stair
way and entered the room adjoining that
in which the meeting between Kline and
Little was 10 take place; they entered the
room, closed the double door between the
two rooms, leaving them alightly ajar, and
took other precautions TO prevent discovery
and awaited Che coming Of Kline and
Little.
Soon they came into the room adjoining,
closed the doors and eat down in chairs
near each other and not more than four OK
Ave feet distant from the place where afasnt
and said Hubbard were stationed.
Kline and Little both seemed extremely
well pleased about something, as we could
see through the opening between the two
doors, and ab once began talking in tones
that could hear distinctly and easily un-
derstsnd; the conversation was almost
wholly concerning lotteries and their sup
preston. Kline exhibited what Is termed
q contract with the Louisiana Lottery COM
pany, by which, as learned from what
was said, IL was to pay $4,000 fOr closing
the Kansas City, Kas., lotteries, $4,000 Of
which was TO bo paid TO Little, and 5000
TO be paid Kline as his compensation. Lit
tle examined the contract and said il was
satisfactory 20 him, that he would soon
earn his $4,000. In the conversation IL de-
veloped that the Louisiana Lottery com-
pany had already paid over 5000 to Kline;
that Kline had retained $1,000 aud had
sent $4,000 TO Little. Kline asked Little il
he had received the $4,000 and Little
answered he had. Both Kline and Little
we're very much elatsd over the situation,
and gave each other repeated assurances
that everything was entirely satisfactory
and looked we'll. At the conclusion they
shook hands cordially and passed out of
the room, one shortly after the other.

LITTLE Rock. April 1. -Coxey's Indus
trial Army is beginning to assume alarm
ing proportions In the Southwest and is
awakening serious thoughts in the minds
of the people of this State. Two hundred
more of the army arrived to-day on stock
train and joined their comrades. who were
camped at Little Rock, while 900 more are
at San Antonio awaiting transportation.
At $3.50 tonight eighty-ive joined the
force and they left tonight via the Bald
Knob branch of the Iron Mountain Rail-
way nearly 100 strong. The disci-
pline is remarkable. There was no
drinking. and while the army was in camp
General Fry addressed at least 500 peo pie
on the financial situation. His language
was temperate and mild. He avows the
movement is just starting that in less than
thirty days 100000 men will be in Wash

be peaceable in their actions and demand
three things, namely: Government en-
ployment. the stopping of immigration for

their serious and orderly demeanor that
appeals to the people.

Relieve the Tension.

COLUMBIA, S. c.. April 1.-Governor
Tillman received dispatch tonight to the
effect that nine fugitive Cunstabes boarded
the train at Lake City. on the Northeast
ern Railway. and within few hours will
have arrived safely at Charleston. There
are seven Constables still nnaccounted for.
Their names are: Swan, Meekin, Brown,
King. Holloway, Walker and Millard.
Governor Tillman thinks the escape OF
these nine men will greatly relieve the
tension. He says h0nors are about even
between the two parties in the killing at
Darlington. and that ii the other spies
escape the trouble will be over. He has
also received dispatches from Adjutant-
General Farley. now in Darlington, say
ing that citizens told him the wounded
Constable. McLendon, had been delivered
to his friends. General Farley does not
know where he now is.

Congress was opened here at 6 80 O'Clock
this evening by President DiaZ The
chamber was filed by the members of the
honorable body and large number or dis
tinguished army officers and State officers
from different parts Of the country.
The closest attention was paid to the
Presidents message. which was read by
President DiaZ. The message dealt with
all important questions in which this
country is interested. 1t discussed the
affairs in which there was a dispute be-
tween the United States and Mexico as to
whethe er certain strip OF land joined by
the Rio Grande River was Mexican or
United States territory. The President
admitted that this discussion had been
amicably settled and that the relations
with foreign countries were nearly bar-
monious. The new mining law is giving
satisfaction.

ESCAPE OF THE SPIES.
Those Arrested at Darlington Are
Spirited Away.

DARLINGTON, S. c., April 1.-Eyerv-
thing is quiet here to-day, for the seat OF
war is now changed to Columbia. The
adiutant and inspector-general of iha
State troops arrived here on a special
train, but no troops accompanied them.
The inspector-gsneral, under the orders
of the Governor, has travelled over the
State endeavoring to raise force of vol
unteers to uphold the dispeDsary law, but
the indications are that he has met with a
complete failure ON every side. Ali classes
of citizens are refusing to bear arms
against South Carolinans.
The Adjutant-General has been in con-
sultation with the most conservative cItl-
zens in Darlington to-day ana the infer
ence is that they have all agreed TO use
their Influence to quiet the disturbed con-
dition. A strong determination still pre-
walls, however. that Governor Tillman's s
spies shall not invade private residences.
The spy MeClendon, who was in Jail
here. was spirited away by his friends
and by the supporters of the dispensary
law between the hours of $50 P. M. and
5 A. NJ. McLendon was the man who
killed Frank Norment, and a number of
the dead mans friends are searching for
him. The spy who was captured in the
woods near Rogers has also made his es-
cape.
The local military have thrown up their
| commissions and resigned by letter to the

possession of the railroad ana telegram

SENT BY COUNT Won MoLTKE

the Ex-Chancellor.
ALL BERLIN JOINS IN THE FETE.
His Popularity Is Still More Increased
on Account of the ReconciIia-
tion With His Friend.

BERLIN, April To-day is the seventy
ninth anniversary of the birth OF Prince
Bismarck. At an early hour the band of
the Lauen burg K fles and the Atona
Choral Society proceeded to Prince Bis
marck's residence at Friedrichsruhe and
serenaded him.
Throughout the day constant
streams of kilograms, letters, gifts and
presents of flowers have flowed
into FREDERICKSBURG. Count Won
Moltke, the Emperor's aid = de camp,
arrived at Friedrichsruhe bearing to the
ex-Chancellur an autograph letter from the
Emperor, congratulating him on the oc-
casion.
The Count also took as gift from the
Emperor splendid cuirsss with epaalets,
which Prince Bismark Immediately
donned. The Emperor in his letter,
which was of the most f1attering char
actAr, said that the steel of which the
cuirass was made was token of a sincere
German gratitude, to which his Majesty
desired to give expression by dedication
of armor.
Replying to the deputation Prince Bis
marck said he hoped to shortly be able to
enter into personal communication with
the regiment at Halberstadt.

SENATOR IRBY DID 1T.
Advised the Governor Against the
Censorship.

WASHINGTON, April Ito Senator lrby
of South Carolina is due much of the credit
for having relieved The censorship of press
dispatches established bv Governor Till
man at Columbia. Tonight he visited the
Office of the Southern Associated Press TO
learn the latest developments. There ho
learned that Governor Tillman had placed
officers in the Western Union Offices at
Columbia, who inspected all messages filed
and refused to forward any that did not
meet their approval. He wired Governor
Tillman advising him against this course
and stating that it could have no other
than detrimental effect.
Shortly after this message had been sent
the specials to the Associated Press began
to arrive in this city and it is believed that
Senator Irby's advice influenced the Gov
ernor to withdraw the officers from the
telegraph office.

NO NEWS OF THE EMS
The Big Steamship Is Now
Fourteen Days.
Fears That She May Have Struck
One of the lcebergs Known to
Be in fier Track.

NEW YORK. April There is no news
of the Ems. fourteen days out from South
ampton. Fully 500 people applied at the
barge Office and at the piers of tho North
German Lloyd Company in Hoboken to-
day to find out if any word had been re-
ceiyed. 1t was with heavy hearts that
some Of these went to their homes. Even
the more sanguine now admit that the
steamer has met with some accident.
The Saale of the same line which left
Bremen on March % and Southampton on
the following day is due here tomorrow,
and the company is in hopes she will be
able to tell something of the missing ship.
In the event of the Ems going south the
hopes rest on the arrival of the Fulda of
the same line. due Tuesday.
Three steamers arrived to-day and
brought no news of the Ems. 1t Is be-
lieved at Halifax. the same as here, that
the vessel has either collided with an ice-
berg or derelict, or that a broken shaft
is delaying the ship.

to protect the public property. Neverthe-
less trouble is anticipated tonight.

WANTS TO BE INDEPENDENT.
Florence Will Resist the Enforcing
of the Law.

FLORENCE. S. c.. April 1.--Although
there has been no actual disturbance here
to-day the uDdercurrent of feeling is very
little better, and it would only REQUIRE an
on break in the vicinity or some obnoxious
act on the part of the Governor to again
stir up citizens to arms.
During the morning hours the town ap-
parenJly resumed its usual quiet, and there
was nothing on the surface that would in
dicate to a stranger that the neighborhood
was on the verge Of an uprising. The
churches were all well attended, there was
no disorderly assemblsges on the streets
and the cooler judgment of nights rest
seems to have had its effect.
But strong feeling of resentment was
working behind the cloud of apparent sub
mission. The belief is general that even
should the officers of the Governor, who
are said to be responsible for the first out
break, be convicted by the courts they will
be pardoned by the Governor, as Elliott,
one of the spies who slapped the face of a
woman in Charleston some time ago, was
pard0ned by kilograms from Governor
Tillman. The people have lost faith in
the efficiency of the law to protect their
lives and liberties.
Darlington asserts her independence of
Governor Tillman. Florence is ready to
follow ber lead. and it is believed that
other towns in the State stand ready to
take the cue from Darlington. McLendop.
who was thought to be seriously wounded,
proved to have been shamming. and was
detained IN Jail by a deputy until arran ge-
ments for his escape could be made.
The guns of the Florence Rifles are in
possession of the citizens, and no attempt
has thus far been made to recover them.
Should such an effort be made by the State
troops no arms will be found. as they have
been secreted. The citizens are not dis
posed to surrender the advance they have
made. but propose that being outlawed
they will proceed to restore law and order.

DARLINGTON. April 1.-Governor Till.
mans military train bringing 230 men ar.

the local military company and escorted 10
their quarters. Great excitement prevailed
al the time the train arrived. but it has
since died away.
Governor Tillman has wired citizens here
that the presence of troops is required to
arrest those who participated 10 the riot
three days ago. If the Governor desires
to make the arrests he will have to send at
least five times the number of troops, and
it is believed that IL the military is called
on to arrest cit Zens that at leas, half if
not all the soldiers will lay down their
arms and assist the citizens should trouble
occur
TeIegrams have been sent ahead of the

LITTLE DAMAGE DONE.
The Nebraska Wheat Crop VIII Yield
Heavily.

OMAHA. April 1.-Nebraska grain men
and farmers are no longer concerned over
the condition of winter wheat. The gen.
eral committees appointed by grain firms
over various sections Of the State to ex-
anime the fields and ascertain positively
the damage resulting from the recent storm
have reported favorab bly,.
Contrary to general opinion few fields
have been affected by the cold snap. The
fields of wheat that were killed have been
planted in corn. Many oat fields, how
ever. were destroyed. In many regions
farmers are resolving their oats.
The acreage OF all grains will be 20 per
cent heavier this year than last.
