PLAYS TRUMPS.
A New Silver Idea to bo
Brought Out.
Senator Chandler Will Ask That Worlds
Monetary Convention be Called to
Unite on a Coinage Ratio for
the Two Metals

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 29.-Sena-
tor Chandler, of New Jersey, republican, Is
about to come forward with scheme look
ing to the reconciliation of silver. The
senator proposes very radical methods of
bringing this about. He contemplates the
introduction in the senate after the recon
vening of congress of a resolution, which he
will advocate asking the United States to
invite all the countries of the world, eastern,
western and southern, to attend monetary
conference.
The new features of the proposed confer
ence is that it shall not be restricted to the
European gold standard countries, but shall
include the South American and oriental
silver standard countries.
Moreover, the invitations to the confer
ence are to contain a declaration of the
United States that the purpose of the con-
ference shall be the establishment ana main
tenauce of an International ratio with the
specific declaration added that if such ratio
cannot be agreed upon. it will be the pur-
pose of the United States to adopt single
standard, and that standard not gold, but
silver.
By taking this extreme position, not as vet
advocated In congress except by the radical
silver men, Senator Chandler thinks the
hands of the gold standard countries, not
now trading extensively with the western
world, can be forced.

company was not liable for the loss of more
money than was necessary for travelling ex-

with him when he had other means of safely

Not Agreed on the Income Tax.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. December 29.-The
ways and means committee will have to de-
eide upon the two reports submitted by the
subcommittee on internal revenues, one by
Messrs. Mcmillan and Bryan in favor OF
the tax on all incomes, including individ-
uels, and the other by Montgomery in favor
of tax on corporate investments.
1t is proposed by the Mcmillan Bryan
plan to make it 2 per cent. upon incomes of
$4,000 year and upwards, yielding an es-
timated revenue of $30,OOO,OOO.
The inheritance tax will be extended only
to personal property as it has been found
impracticable to have real estate included.
A revenue of $1O,OOO,OOO it is estimated will
be derived from this source.
The tax of $1.50 per thousand on cigarettes
and 6 cents pack on playing cards it is
thought will yield $5,OOO,00O, in all $45,00O,-
600, which several mem bers of the committee
think all that is needed to be provided for by
legislation at present.
There is some talk that during the holi-
days the democrats opposed to the bill would
organize to secure its defeat, but it does not
now look as if anything would come of it.

Resolutions of the County Attorneys.

At the meeting of the Kansas Association
of County Attorneys, held at Topeka, the
resolutions adopted are as follows:
First-Resolved, That this association
urge upon the legislature the passage of
an act providing proper punishment for
the violation of the laws now upon the
statute books providing for the assess
ment of property for taxation at its actual
value and to insure the equal taxation of
all property at its actual value, and further
to insure that no more than 500 worth of
personal property at its actual value is ex-
empted from taxation to the head of a
family.
Second-That we have revision of our
road laws to the end that they be simpli-
fed in the matter of location of roads and
the expense incurred, and the vacation of
country roads be limited to where it is
clearly shown that the road sought to be
vacated can never subserve the public in
terest.
Third-We recommend revision of the
gam bling laws of our state.
Fourth-We urge the passage of law by
which persons confined in the county Jail
for the non-payment of fine and costs may
give security for the payment of such fine
and costs and be released from custody.
Fifth-We urge the enactment of law
prohibiting the sale of policy and lottery
tickets and providing penalty for the vio-
lation thereof.

The Santa Fe Has Receivers.

United States Circuit Judge II. G. Cald-
well, at Little Rock, Ark, has appointed re-
ceivers of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railroad company. They are J. w. Rein
hart and j. j. McCOok. president and gen
eral counsel of the road, and Joseph c. Will
son, of Topeka, Kan, clerk of the United
States court there.
The application was made by the two New
York trust companies which are trustees for
the bondholders of the Santa Fe and of the
st. Louis d San Francisco.
special train took a party of railroad
officials and the attorneys of the trust CON-
panies to Little Rock and an order was soon
agreed upon by all parties in interest and
approved and. issued by Judge Caldwell.
The cases and the orders are in duplicate,
being upon the two roads named, which form
the main portion of the great Santa Fe sys-
tenn. The order does not include the Chi
cago lines.
The directors of the Santa Fe system is
sued circular explaining the necessity of
the action taken.
They say: The sudden termination of
pending negotiations for financial relief has
caused temporary embarrassment to the
companies, and will prevent further pay
ment of borrowed money now due and inter-
est coupons of the several companies matur-
ing January l, 1894 prox.
Shrinkage in market prices of securities
owned by the company and used as collat-
eral, has brought an enforced reduction Of
the floating debt, causing excessive demands
upon the cash available from net earnings
for interest requirements.
The Atchison system az a whole, including
the st. Louis d San Francisco railway and
other auxiliary lines Comprising 9,345 miles
of railroad), is amply able even under the
present adverse conditions to earn q safe
balance above its fixed charges, if relieved
from floating debt, which is not greater at this
time than eighteen months ago. The changed
financial condition and lower prices of secu-
rites owned by the companies and used as
collateral has brought about the situation
now reported.

Between 800 and 800 teachers registered

that more were coming.
The main meetings of the association are

college and high school department. and
the department of county superintendent.

TOrzKA, December 2s.--In the case Of John
Atherton against w. E. sterne in the district
court Judgment wac given for the plaintiff.
Atherton was a depositor in the United
States Savings bank and Sterne was one of
double liability clause the latter was held
responsible for the debt. One thousand dol
lars worth of stock was transferred to Mr..
Sterne and he allowed his name to be used
as vice president and his prmissory note for
the stock was delivered to the bank. Before
the bank failed Mr.. Sterne returned the
stock and took up his note. 1t is such well
defined principle. however, that corpora
ton cannot deal in its own stock that this
did not relieve him from the liability. and
so Mr.. Sterne's remote connection with the
bank will probably cost him $1,000.

Mrs. Lease Stands Up for Carter.

TOPEKA, December 29.-The Capital inter
viewed Mrs. Lease.
Concerning the trouble at Olathe, Mrs.
Lease said: "You can make up your mind
to one thing. That is that Superintendent
Carter will not be removed"
"But did not the board ask for his resigna-
tion?"
"Yes, am sorry to say they did. There
were no grounds whatever for the action.
Mr.. Carter is a splendid man, and one who
has the love of all the children in the institu-
ton. AS soon as it became known that he
was requested to resign. parents Immediately
began sending for their children. A large
number of pupils have been taken away for
this very reason. But the board will recon-
slider its action, and Mr.. Carter will be al
lowed one year, at least, to prove his fitness
for the place. I know that other members
of the board have stated that Mr.. Stewart, of
Manhattan. would be appointed to succeed
him, but you can depend upon it he will not
Superintendent Carter will remain"

VIII Compromise With Counties.

TOPEKA, December 29.-Receiver J. C..
Wilson stated, before leaving for New York,
that it was his opinion that the receivers
would compromise with the various counties
of Kansas regarding the payment of taxes.
Mr.. Wilson said there was no question re-
garding the injustice done the road by the
railroad assessors. To prevent action by the
state the clause against the enforcement of a
lien against the road was incorporated in the
order of the judge appointing the receivers
Mr.. Wilson believes that after the counties
have been kept out of their taxes for few
promise on an equitable basis and fair val
uation. The receivers hope to cut down the
taxes of the road from $4,000 to $4,000.

Bids for the Court House.

TOPEKA, January Bids for the erection
OF the new court house, for which SIPS, 900 in
bonds has been voted, were opened by the
board of county commissioners, at the county
clerks office.
Bids were for the complete job and por-
tious of it in detail. Eighteen Contractors
had bids in at the hour set for opening them.
The county commissioners expressed sur
prise at the amount of the bids, as the total
bids IN great many instances have been in
excess OF the amount voted for the erection
of the building. The member of the board
say that the court house would have to be
built at cost not exceeding $125, O00, even if
the present plans and Specifications had to
be changed.

The Santa Fe Case in London.

LONDON, December 29.-In its financial
article, the Times says it is fortunate for tine
proprietors that the Atchison floating debt is
comparatively moderate, and if an equitable
plan for relief be proposed it can easily be
discharged by $40 assessment on shares.
Nothing short of such levy would be toll
Grated by the bondholders, who were COM
PEELED to make sufficient concessions in the
reorganization in 1889, as fully as to justify
them in insisting the case should now be
provided by the stockholders.
Fear of assessment may, however, in the
present case, be somewhat mitlgated by the
distribution among the shares of proper
tionate amount of new collateral bonds, ma
terials for which the company has at its dis
posal

Todd secure IN ONCE

TOPEKA, January "A report gained cir
culation that the governor had decided 10
remove Labor Commissioner Todd. Gov
ernor Lewelling, however, promptly de-
MED it.
To reporter he said: 81 90 not under
stand all these reports about Todd and my
intention to remove him. There is no reason
for his removal. The only thing against
him is that he whipped republican editor
down In his part of the country. He chose
to redress his wrongs in this way rather than
to take the chances of Justice in Republican
courts. OF course, would rather the affair
had not occurred, but it has occurred, and I
proprose to stand by Todd. He is faith.
fui officer and as conscientious and indus
trious as any republican that preceded him.
True, ne is not pretty man, and he prob
able would not shine in society, but until be
does something more than be has I shall
not remove him."

is quoted as saying: 1T is practically GER
tain, however, that no changes of impor-
tance will be made. The same men, with
possibly few exceptions, will continue in
their old places. We have already made an
order appointing D. B. Robinson general
agent for the receivers. He has practically
managed the running of the road, knows all
about it, and now will have a chance to
carry out his plans.

Dun's Trade Review.

New YORK, January 1.-R. G. Dun & Co. 8
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Starting with the largest trade ever known,
mills crowded with work, and all business
stimulated by high hopes, the year 1893 has
proved in sudden shrinkage of trade in CON-
mercial disasters and depression of indus
tries, the worst for fifty years. Whether the
final results of the year of 1887 were rela-
lively more severe, the scanty records of
that time do not clearly show. The year
closes with prices of many products the
lowest ever known, with mill ions of workers
seeking in vain for work and with charity
laboring to keep back suffering and starva-
ton in all of our cities. We all hope the
new year may bring brighter days, but the
dying year leaves only dismal record.
The review of different departments of trade,
exhibits collapse of industry and business
which is almost without precedent.
The irou industry sustained weekly pro-
auction of 181 ,551 pig May 1, but by October
the output had fallen to 1885 tons and
the recovery to about 100000 December 1,
leaves 40 per cent. of the force unemployed.
Over half the wooden manufacturers are
idle and expecting brief recovery in Nov
ember, has been ever since new wool
came in May, for all the chief markets in
eight months have been but LOG, 795, 400
pounds, partly for speculation, the price
having fallen 20 per cent for fleece to the
lowest point ever known, against 122, $780,
0O3 pounds in the same month last year.
Sales of cotton goods are equally quarter
below the usual quantity. The small ad-
vance attempted in boots and shoes year
ago was not sustained, but with the prices
as low as ever, the shipments of boots and
shoes from Boston are "a per cent less than
last year in December.
Not only manufactured goods as a whole,
but the most important farm products are
SO low that farmers find little comfort.
Official and other reports oeluded traders
with the notien that crops of last year were
SO short that famine prices could be realized
on purchases

Hilarity was rampant on The Chicago hoard.
Of trade on the last business day Of The sea
The bulls and bears held high carnival.
It has always been the custom on the LAST
day of the year to make the session q host
ing farce, and this year demand for
high old time has been intensified on the
ground that SO peor season for the opera
tors should be howled out. and a new year 81
better fortune howled in with all the strength
of their lungs, and all pranks to which even
sensible men occasionally resort.
None but members were admitted to the
floor. and tickets to the gallsries were re-
garded as worth their weight in gold by
those fortunate enough to receive them.
The fun commenced at noon and continued
unit til dusk.
Five thousand paper bags of flour had
been laid in as missiles, and goodly por-
ton of these were expended on the commit
tee on circular insanity and Chinese immi-
grafton. The vigilance committee included
dozen of the biggest practical jokers on
the floor, and these added to the solemnity
of the occasion by arresting everyone on
sight and subjecting them to mock trial.
