The genial and popular mayor of Kan
sas City was here. He came to tell us
something of Municipal Government"
The mayor is n ~favoiite with our people
and right heartily did they Welcome him.
In response to his toast he said, that the
American system of municipal govern
ment has been much criticized but that it
had the advantage of other systems in
this-that it gave to the people a better
return on the taxes than. any other sys-
TEN now known or practiced, He said that
one reason Of intense interest manifested
in city government, was the fact that it so
vitality concerned the citizen. The peo-
pie are but indefferently interested in ma
tional and state legislation, because that
is so far removed from their immediate
bonds and interests, but they watch jeal-
ously and critically their city government
and city legislation because it dir ectly
and visibIy effects them and their tenn
poral interests. He ~disaproved OF that
spirit not so universal that condemns pol
lilies and politicians, because, il laws are
to be made, and people are to governed, it
must be done by men who are in perfect
harmony with the spirit Of the terms, and
men who know the science of pol
tiles. At the conclusion of his toast
he thanked the Board for their invitation
and promised to be with Lexington peo-
pie again soon.

THE CLAYTON-BULwER TREATY.
in the Senate That 1t Should
BE AbrORated.

The Senate committee on foreign rela-
tions has decided to take up the question
Of the abrogation Of the Clayton -Bulwer
treaty upon the basis of Senator Dolph's
resolution, introduced a few days since
The question was briefly discussed in the
committee yesterday, and the resolution
was referred to subcommittee, consist
ing of Senators Daniel, Turpie and Dolph
There appears to be quite a strong senti-
ment in the committe for the resolution
many members believing that the United
States should rest upon the broader basis
of the Monroe doctrine in dealing with
questions connected with all affairs In the
isthmus. A leading democratic member of
the committee said he hoped that the Blue
fields embroglio would develop the fact
that England had decided to ignore the
treaty, and thus relieve the United States
from the necessity Of its observance. Sem
ator Morgan, chairman of the committee,
is believed to stand with Senator Dolph
in desiring to have the treaty nullified.

SENATOR HILLS SPEECH.
He Will Talk on the Tariff Next Mon
day.

The real fireworks Of debate on the tariff
bill will probably be set off next week with
a speech from Senator Hill as a starter. 1t
is doubtful whether Mr.. Hills speech can
be considered In the light of a set piece or a
flight of rockets, nobody of course can
tell just what Mns-f3fh will say until he
says 1t. But as a pyrotechnic display the
speech will undoubtedly prove a great at
traction. Mr.. Hlll modestly announced in
the Senate today that IL quite agreeable to
his honorable colleagues he would on Mon
day next. submit few remarks on the SUBJ
1ect of the pending tariff bill. AS no objec-
tons were raised to this petition. it Is to be
presumed that 1t will be very agreeable to
the Senate to hear what Mr.. Hill will have
to say on the subject Of the tariff.
Eagerly Anticipated.
There is probably no other speech booked
for the coming debate that is anticipated
with SO much eagerness as this one Mr.
Hills position on the tariff Is peculiar, es-
pecially since his connection with the So
called conservative" movement that led 10
the democratic caucus several weeks ago.
He has been away from the Senate and
from Washington for quite a time, and only
returned a day or so ago. Since his return
1t has been announced that the Senator wa a
In Albany during the greater part of his
absence. touching up his tariff speech and
getung points for the debate. He may, of
course, have had other missions but he util-
lied his spare time to good effect In this
connection.
VIII Draw a Crowd.
Mr.Hilfs speech will unQuestionably draw
a great crowd. both in the galleries and on
the floor. He is not much of an orator, and
he has peculiar, almost a bad, style Of de-
livery. He Is extremely clear in enunciation
and therefore easy to understand, but his
manner Is rather machne-like and some
what tiresome. Yet his words on this SUBJ
?ect VIII unquestionably be of such general
s. interest that ne VIII be listened to with the
most eager interest from first to last. Mr.
Lodge has already given notice that he will
speak on Tuesday next, and with these two
vigorous Senators to start the ball rolling IL

SCORED A VICTORY.
The Republicans in the Senate Win in
u Preliminary Skirmish.

u Preliminary Skirmish.
The republicans Of the Senate scored
victory this afternoon in q slight prelimin-
ary skirmish that had somewhat of bear
ing on the tariff question. At 2 o'clock
Senator PETER took the floor to make
tariff speech, and Mr.. Call Immediately
asked his usual permission to move an ex-
ecutive session for the purpose of
fighting Florida nomination. Mr..
PETER was not any too eager to
accede to the request, and Mr..
Harris emphatically said he hoped the mat
ter would be put aside, and that the Senate
should not go into executive session. Mr.
Call however. made a motion TO that effect
which, greatly to the disgust of Senator
Harris, who is in charge of the parliament
tary tactics of the tariff bill for the demo-
Gratis. was carried 81 to 80 The republicans
generally voted in the Affirmative and the
democrats in the negative. Mr.. Hill and
Mr.. Pugh, besides Senators Bate Ball
George and Irby, voted with the repub-
licans. The result of the vote was the
source of considerable elation to the repub-
lican leaders. for an executive session In
the middle Of the day is great boon to
them while they are under the necessity
of keeping up the flow Of talk on the tariff
bill.

TO EXA MINE AT AIRS
A Senate Committee to Talk With Indians
Over Statehood.
The Possibility of Admitting Indian
The Natives in Opposition.

The Senate committee on the five civilized
tribes of Indians Is preparing to start to
Indian territory for the purpose Of investi-
eating the status Of affairs there. Among
other questions which the committee will
probably take up is that of the relations ex-
isting between the Indians and the white
settlers.
This question has attained some promi-
nence recently in connection with the effort
to have Indian territory included as a part
Of the proposed state of Oklahoma. The
Indians have resisted the proposition, de-
claring that If they should accept statehood
their tribal relations would be destroyed,
they would be compelled to accept land in
severalty and would be so outnumbered by
the whites as to cut them out of all voice
In their affairs. They also assert that they
hold their lands under treaty and are guar
anteed self-government by the same process.
The white settlers say, in effect, that such
treaties as were made with the Indians are
not to be regarded sound, and they are,
as class, very clamorous for the change.
Under the existing state Of affairs, while
far outnumbering the Indian population,
they are deprived of all rights Of citizenship,
and cannot become owners Of real estate, Of
which the Indians have more than they can
utilize. They also assert that few Of
mixed bloods and the white men who have
acquired citizenship by marrying Indian
All the ldnuS, as tney 90
most of the affairs of the territory.
There was a large delegation in Wash
ington during the winter in the interest of
statehood, and the Indians have also had
representatives here, both Of which were
heard by the Oklahoma subcommittee Of
the committee on territories, but the men,
bers of the committee complained that it
was impossible to secure from these repre-
sentatives a clear idea of the status of
affairs, and it was then suggested that 1t
would be more satisfactory for the Senate
to send a committee to the territory to
investigate and report preliminary to pass
Ing upon the question of statehood. 1t Is
probable that the investigation now to be
undertaken has grown out of this desire
for definite information.
The scope of the resolution under which
the committee Is to act Is Of very general
nature. however, and it is probable that
the inquiry will go into many other Ques-
tions connected with life in Indian terri
tory. The committee will leave Washing
ton on Friday of this week, and will prob
ably be absent about two weeks.

pensary Law.
Special to the Associated Press.
CHARLESTON, S. c., April 5.-The peo-
pie of the state, and OF this city especially.
are still anxiously awaiting the decision of
the supreme court on the constitutionality
of the dispensary law. AS yet no public ex-
preston of this sentiment has been made
Today, however. the city council Of the
town Of Camden sent the following me-
mortal to the court:
Hon. Henry McIver, Chief Justice, and
Samuel MCGOWAN and Y. ]. Pope, Associate
Justices of South Carolina:
Gentlemen.-In view of the fact that great
uneasiness and disQuietude prevails through
out South Carolina because OF the enact
ment by its legislature of the dispensary
law and the subsequent efforts by our state
authorities to enforce the provisions of that
law, that the lives of good citizens have
been lost. the blood of others shed and
property endangered, and feeling assured
by the temper of our own people that should
similar occurrence arise as that which
recently provoked that lamentable outbreak
against law and order in the cities of Oar
lington and Florence, other cities would be
subjected to the same Inconvenience (or in
dignity as that under which these two
cities now rest, and that life, blood and
property of our own citizens would be en-
dangered, we, the mayor and aldermen OF
the city of Camden, S. c., most respectfully
but most earnestly urge upon your honor
able court that as speedily may be pos
sible you render your decision upon the con-
stitutionality or unconstitutionality of the
dispensary law in its several provisions
which decision is now pending, believing
as we do that a prompt decision will tend
to allay the fears of our people. to promote
the cause of law and order. TO strengthen
the hands of all lovers Of constitutional law
to save nfes blood and property and to pre-
serve our state from the horrors Of civil
war. Signed: H. G. Garrison, Mayor: F.
o. McCreight, J. f. Vaughn, W. A. Schrock
A. c. Brown, Aldermen.
This action will probably be followed by
similar action by other municipalities.

Judge Whitehouse has been engaged
during portion of the past week in
chambers, hearing cases at the court house.
Thursday, he was hearing testimony in
the case of H. l.. Hunton, et al in equity,
VS.. Charles A. Hall and wife of Oakland
and Williston Jennings of Wayne. The
plaintiffs are the assignees in insolvency
of the defendant, Hall and they bring a
bill in equity to compel the turning over
them of certain real estate in Oakland,
which they say belongs to their assignor.
They say that Hall conveyed to his wife,
and she to her brother, Williston Jen-
nings. his homestead, without considera-
tion to keep it away from his creditors,
and they claim that it was worth at least
it was an inadequate one Mrs. Hall con-
tends in defence that she had paid in on
the place from time to time, to her hus-
band, various sums of money, amounting
to some fourteen or fifteen hundred dol
lars, under an agreement that he would
convey the property to her, and she claims
that the conveyance was made to her be-
fore she knew of the financial trouble of
her husband also that what she paid in
was fair consideration for the property.
She does not deny that she conveyed to
her brother after she expected trouble to
arise Lendall Titcomb and Fl. L. Hun

Haines for defendants Decision reserved.
Saturday, Judge Whitehouse took up and
heard the case of Oliver Moulton VS.. the
administrator of James X. Foye. F. f.

M. Spear for defendant. 1t is an action
of trespass quare clausum, brought in the
supreme court and referred by rule of

to determine the line between the parties
The land in dispute is in Pittston on the
the old river road to East Pittston. Both
parcels were formerly owned by one party.
This party sold the north half by a deed
through which the plaintiff claims and the
south half by deed through which defen-
dant claim S, and the real question in dis
pute is where is the true dividing line
between these two pieces of land. The
difference between the two lines as claimed
by the parties at the road is ~ feet. De-

STYLES For Men.

Fashion, seated in London, has reached
out her hand to New York and laid it
heavily on the high hats of the men of the
western metropolis. Tho effect of this lay
ing ON of the hand of fashion has been to
press tho hat shade lower, and in the
process to broaden the top, making it more
bell shaped than before, and at the same
time more material is crowded into the
brim, making it heavier and much more
rolling. So the correct high hat Is not
quite so high as last winter, more bell
shaped, with heavier and moro rolling
Iim.
The derby is the hat dear to the business
man, and he clings to it. 1t, like its more
aristocratic brother clothed in silk, has
now fuller crown and heavy rolled
brim. Its prevailing color remains black,
though the seal brown species is meeting
with considerable favor at the hands and
heads of the more dressy young men. Ac-
