Messrs. Wheeler (AlaD and Oates tAla.D
continued the debate The former delivered
a glowing eulogy OF President Cleveland
The latter argued In behalf OF the adoption
Of the McCreary resolution from a legal
standpoint The only thing the administra-
tion had done was to repuciate the Illegal
act of Minister Stevens while no actual
force was used by the United States at the
time Of the revolution, there was coercion,
which was quite equivalent. III the moral
effect of coercion is the same force"
said Mr.. Hepburn, interruptng him, "and
the queen was overthrow by such coercion,
why is IL not the duty OF the administra-
ton to restore her by coercion or forceY'
IF actual force had been employed" re-
piled Mr.. Oates, then IL would have been
the duty of this government to right this
wrong even IL force had to be employed"
Mr.. Boutelle Has His Innings.
Mr.. Boutelle (Me), who followed Mr.
Oates. said that his prime object In per-

American people.

LOOKS LIKE TRIMMING
Gentlemen of the Board of Rail-
road Assessors
ARE YOU GOING TO REDUCE TAXES

On the Railroads This XeArF-Why
Did the Board Adjourn from the Le-
gal Date TO May 2%f
The state board of railroad assessors
will not be in hurry about making pub
lie its action on the assessment of the
railroad property this year.
This board which is composed of Lieu
tenant Governor Daniels; Secretary of
State Osborn; Auditor Van B. Prather;
State Treasurer Biddle, and Attorney
General Little met on the third Monday
in April this year as required by law, but
they Immediately adjourned until May
22d.
1t is understood that a plan has been
conceived by which the railroad assess
ment will be reduced this year and the
report will be withheld from the public
until after the action of the Populist
state convention, and if the present adj
ministration should be renOminated, until
after election.
State Auditor Van. B. Prather as secre
tary of the board of railroad assessors
has written letter TO every county clerk
in the state in which he seeks to excuse
the action of the board in adjOurning
until May % without making the assess
ment. He says the adjournment was
taken to give the railroads time to send
in the returns, but as matter of fact all
the railroads have sent in their returns
except coal switch at LeavenwOrth and
and a line eight miles long in south
eastern Kansas.
Another excuse given by Auditor
Prather is that the board desires to know
the value of real estate in the various
in the state before fixing the assessment,
but heretofore the railroad assessors have
never considered the value of real es-
tate.
That the board intends to reduce the
assessment is made more apparent by a
statement in this remarkable letter
which reads: "The law says property
must be assessed at it's actual cash value,
but no penalty is attached, hence 1t Is
never done; and if it was we would have
a large sum of money piled up in the
treasury not needed"
This reform administration propose to
openly violate the law in regard to the
railroad assessment making the excuse
that it has always been done and if they
obeyed the law too much money would
be collected from the railroads
When the board adjourned it was
thought that the POpulist state cOnYen-
ton would be held either on May 23rd or
31st, and by postponing the meeting of
the board until about that time they
would avoid all questions on the assess
escape being turned down as the mem
bers of the last board of railroad asses
sors were. They want to avoid the fate
of Ives, Slower and Hovey.
If the members of the present board
are renominated by the state convention
they will probably delay their proceed
ing as assessors in such a manner that
they will not be made public until after
election.

CHANGES AT wAsHBURN.
a Number of the Professors to Leave For
Various Reasons.

A Number of the Professors to Leave For
Various Reasons.
There is to be considerable of a change
at Washburn college next year, and from
present indications it is likely that there
will be five new members on the faculty
board.
Miss Caroline Durgan, who is the ma
iron at the cottages and instructor in
English literature, has announced her in
tention of leaving. She is going abroad
this summer and will probably not return
to this country for a year. Another one
the list is Miss Maud FuIkersOn, the
instructor in German and French. 1t is
understood that her application for the
situation was not received by the man
agement and that she does not intend to
teach at Washburn this year.
Fordyce P. Cleaves, professor of elocu-
ton, has announced that he will proba-
bly, not return. Prof. F. Ellis, Greek
teacher, will leave the college, it is said
for his health.
The fifth one is Prof. F. w. Scott, of
derstood that he will leave, but no reas-
ons are given. Nodefnite arrangements
have as yet been made TO fill the vacan-
cies.
1t was rumored some time ago that DR..
Peter McVicar would resign as president
of the college, within year or two and
go to California, but this seems to have
been false report.
DR.. McVicar is one of the best men to
solicit funds for the college in the east
that has been known among western col
leges. 1t was for the purpose of giving
him more time to attend to these matters
that Prof Clarence Greeley was brought
here and placed at the head of the doc
tors classes.

Langley and Taylor have not been

angry words and looks.
Last evening matters came to a climax
and after few words Langley went into
a store and armed himself with several
weights. He came out and found Tay-
lor and opened up the battle by throw
ing the weights at Taylor. Only one
took effect but Taylor says that was
enough. He had Langley arrested and

WAsHBURN'S CHARTER.
None Can Be Found of Record In the
Secretary of States Office.

None Can Be Found of Record In the
Secretary of States Office.
The employees of the secretary of states
office spent considerable time today look
ing up the records of the incorporation
of Washburn college. They we're IN
successful, and nothing was found show
ing that the college was a chartered in
stitution. They ransacked the office of
the secretary of state and historical So
ciety.
If the college has not been chartered
it will involve a great deal of trouble.
The college association has lent thOus-
ands of dollars on Topeka and Shawnee
county property, taking first mortgages.
When the mortgages were released, the
releases were signed by the president of
the college board.
If the institution is not chartered, it is
probable that these releases are not valid,
and the titles to great deal of property
in the city and county would be greatly
impaired.
The only record in the secretary of
states office so far found shows that in
1869 the name of Lincoln college was
changed to Washburn-
\ 1t is thought that the college may
have been chartered by act of the legis-
lature, but no record of that fact has so
far been fonnd.
@. p. Kincade, loan agent, is attempt
ing to find the articles of incorporation
to perfect title to real estate bought by
parties out of the state.
Dr. McVicar, the president of the
college, says that the corporation was
organized in 1852, when the law did not
require the filing of charter.

Millions of Dollars Worth of Fiber Goes

part of the fax is the Fl Der and that it
now goes to waste as the present syste m

He estimates that in the 100000 acres of

at cents per pound
He has invented thresher that does
