THE MEN ARE PAID.


After Much Delay the United States Mar
shall for Kansas Pays His Deputies.
There were six men made glad yester-
day. They were six deputies who served
during the Santa Fe railroad strike more
than a year ago. The men are Thomas
B. Coddington. E. L. Walker James Nc
Murray, E. B. Larkin and S. L. Johnson
The amount which the men received
was about $1,000. There Was some
trouble between the United States mar
shall and the deputies about the claim or =
iginaily as it was for serving the big Debs
injunctions while they were acting as
guards They were paid as guards, and
Marshal Neeley thought that they were
not entitled to fees for serving the
papers.
District Attorney Perry and Judge
Foster both said, however, that the men
should be paid. Then there
was delay about having the
claim allowed, for the government
is never in a hurry, no matter
how badly men may need the pay for
their services.
Marshal Neeley said that he had only re-
ceived the money this month and
would pay the men as coon
as he got the draft cashed.
Mr. Coddington received his money,
nearly $500, last night, and he went home
the happiest man in Topeka.

STORM WAS MILD.

1t was Confined to Eastern Kan
sas and NO Damage is Reported
Anywhere.
This is the first heavy snow of the
season. It is general in the eastern and
southern portions of Kansas only, none
having fallen in the northern and west
ern parts of the state. Along the east
ern and southern lines of the Santa Fe
in Kansas snow is reported this
morning with the exception of Arkansas
City, where the weather is cloudy and
cold. Along the lines of the Rock
Island from Manhattan to st. Joe and as
far south as Mcfarland heavy snow fell
last night.
In Colorado the weather is clear and
cold today and calm and pleasant in New
Mexico, In Texas the heavy rain which
fell all day yesterday ceased last night
aud today the weather is reported cloudy
and cold. The telegraph wires are re-
ported to be 80. K" in all departments,
the snow not being of the character to
weigh down the wires.

Ideal Christmas weather greeted To-

The several hundred persons who
arose early this morning to attend 3
o'clock mass at the church of the As
sumption and $50 o'clock services at the
Swedish churches had to make their
way through the snow, breaking paths
for the few business men who were
forced to so to their stores and offices IN
spite of the holiday.
Christmas is always observed more
than any other holiday. and today is not
an exception to the rule in the Kansas
capital.
The state house officials are all away

Slaughtered Saturday by the Turn $.

WITH THE CHILDREN.

President Spent Christmas at HOme---
What Other Washington Folks Did.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-The president
and cabinet and officials in Washington
generally, with the exception of the Re
publican members of the ways and means
committee who labored to complete the
text of their tariff and bond bills spent a
quiet and enjoyable Christmas, free from
the anxieties and excitements of the past
six or eight days.
The president and Mrs. Cleveland had
provided large Christmas tree for their
three little ones. Ruth, Esther and
Marion and spent most of the day max
ing merry with the children and their
numerous presents.
The vice president and Mrs. Stevenson
and their daughters were the guests of
Mrs. Stevenson's sister on Sixteenth
street
The members of the cabinet remained
at their homes and nearly every one of
them had with him members of his fami-
ly or kinsfolk from out of town. The
day was unusually mild and the weather
heavy and foggy.

LOTS OF GOLD.
Russia Offers United States HaIfHer
Gold up to S4OO,O3O,OOO.

Russia Offers United States HaIfTer
Gold up to S4OO,O3O,OOO.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Great interest
was excited in official circles here today
by the publication in the Washington
Post under New York date
of a circumstantial statement to the
effect that the Russian government has
offered to lend the United State any
amount of gold up to four hundred mil
lion dollars-one half of its total posses
sions of this specie-in order to maintain
its credit against assaults from the great
money powers of other European ma
tions, and that learning of this tender,
the Rothschilds, through Messrs. Bel
mont & Morgan, had made overtures to
let the United States have any amount
of gold needed. The statement, it is
learned, is accurate SO far as
concerns the fact that Russia rendered
the United States as a part of its store of
gold, but he natural inference that this
offer was recent one made in conse-
quence of the late Venezuelan message,
and subsequent panic is not warranted.
It was in fact made two years ago.

Her Mistake.

A South Side doctor was called to the
stockyards neighborhood one day last
week, and it was afternoon before he was
ready to start home.
Being quite hungry he went into res
taurant near the main gateway to the busy
streets of Packingtown and ordered from
the bill of fare.
When he had finished his luncheon, he
called to the girl who had been waiting on
him and asked her for a check. She hand
ed him check for so cents and he gave
her 81.
He waited Eve minutes, and the girl did
not reappear.
He waited another five minutes. No

He looked at his watch.

Plot to Overthrow the Island
Republic Comes Out.
In Trial of Two Americans for
the Conspiracy.
TO RESTORE QUEEN.
Rich Concessions and q Lottery
Franchise,
To Be the Reward in Case of a
Victory for Them.

HONOLULU, Dec. 25.-A sensational
story of plot to overthrow the republic
of Hawaii by Americans came to light
Monday in the trial on charge
of conspiracy of w. T. Sheridan and DR..
Frank Underwood, alias Morrow.
In the affidavit fled by the government
it was stated that F. H. Hayselden is a
resident of Lanai, and while on that is
land he was approached by the defend
ants, Sheridan and Underwood. The
opening talk was ostensibly for the pur-
pose of securing the island of Lanai
for colonization purposes. Their
main motive, however, was soon
apparent by further talk of
the men. It was to the effect of secur-
ing Lanai for establishing a nucleus on
that island for the overthrow of the
republic of Hawaii Sheridan stated to
Hayseden that he was able to procure
a large body of men and all the
necessary arms and ammunition to do
the work.
The men also informed Hayseden
that they were deputed to secure the
island for the purpose of establishing
q lottery for syndicate in San Fran
cisco. For their assistance in over
throwing the present government they
were to secure from the to be restored
queen, upon her reinstatement, the nee
essary franchise for conducting the lot
terry scheme.
Sheridan and Underwood claimed that
they had already signed agreements
with responsible parties to the effect
that this franchise was to be their re-
ward for the assistance of themselves
and associates in San Francisco in over
throwing the present government and
restoring the monarchy.
For their assistance Hayselden was to
be given a government position besides
q money consideration. He gave the
men no encouragement and refused to
give final answer unless he was given
further time to consider the matter.
Meanwhile he communicated with the

The Boss Will Try to Garry the State
for Himself and for Mckinley.
The first political meeting of the Kan
sas Republican campaign of 1896 was
held last Friday evening in room 8 at the
Blossom House in Kansas City, No.
This Blossom House meeting was a
prearranged affair, not one of these little
accidents, politicians tell about when a
reporter finds a dozen or more party
leaders closeted together in some out of
the way corner.
1t was not only prearranged meeting
but it was a Leland meeting and Chair
man Cy Leland of the Republican state
central committee, member of the execu-
tive committee of the national Repub-
lican committee and candidate for re-
election as national committeeman and
delegate at large to the Republican
national convention, was there.
The other prominent Republicans who
were there were Mr.. Chas. E Lobdell

there. 1t was not necessary. They are
in touch with Chairman Cy at all times
aud do not have to be told what to do
AT this meeting it was decided to make
a bold fight for Leland delegates to the
state convention which is to elect dele
gates to the national convention.
The state administration has promised
to turn all its forces to Leland and it is
expected that. the anti-Leland opposition
will be silenced if bluffing will do the
work.
Chairman Cy did not have represen-
tative of northwest Kansas in his meet
ing, which is a weakness his friends are
afraid may prove fatal.
