Calderhead Talks in Washington
About Silver.
Pretends His Views Are Largely
Held in Kansas.
HIS "PARROTY" TALK
Evidently a Bid For Goldbug
Influence.
Says He's In Favor of Retiring
Greenbacks, Too.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. March IA
'sound money" congressman from Kan
sas may seem an anomalous statement,
but such a thing exists. Mr.. w. A.
Calderhead is a representative from the.
Fifth Kansas district to the hou Sc of the
next congress, and was elected Repub
lican on professed anti free silver and
sound money platform. He is now in
Washington. and talked with the cores
pondents today about Kansas politics.
He said:
''Kansas is getting to be a sound
money state, aud the only people there
now who are radically in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver are
a few Populists, and even they are not
so rampant as they were. At the time of
my election the state platform of the Re-
publican party contained a declaration
favoring the free coinage of American
product silver and putting a prohibitory
duty on the foreign product [ went
before the people of my district,
however, and told them that [
would not vote for the free coinage of
American silver or any other silver until
the time arrived when a silver dollar
would be as good in the markets of the
world as any other dollar. l believe that
silver and gold should be on parity. and
ford to coin American silver at a ratio
of 16 to 1. There were many Republi-
cans in my district who favored free coin
age, but they voted for me. l also believe
in the retirement of the greenback. The
example which we have recently had of
the use to which preenbacks can be put
should be a warning to US, and they
should not be permitted to be used for
the purpose of depicting the gold re-
serve. l do not mean to convey the i'm
preston that l am hostile to silver. On
the contrary, would like to see silver
on an equality with gold in our finances
and finances of the world, but | don't
propose to insist upon pushing silver to
the front until it becomes practicable to
give It that footing of equality a
"Do you think the coming monetary
conference will accomplish anything"
81 do not think it will result in recon-
mending any legislation, but it will have
one good effect 1t will demonstrate to
those people who are clamoring to put
this country alone upon a silver basis the
exact position of silver in the finances of
| the world. The conference will have an
educational benefit, therefore. in the eff
feet of opening the eyes of great many
to the exact situation of silver, which

Mckee Rankin the we'll known come
dian will be at the Grand opera house in
Topeka all of next week beginning Mon
day night and will play his repertoire at
the surprising prices of 10, ~, and 30

Mr. l. NJ. Crawford made this an

sThis is an emergency booking for both
the house and for Mr.. Rankin, who
doubtless has good reasons for it.
This is the first time lnr. Rankin ever
played at less than one dollar. He has
just closed an engagement at the dollar
prices at the Ninth street theatre in Kan
sas Cigy.
The pieces he will play in Topeka
next week include all his old time sue

by His Angry Father.
CHICAGO, March THE breach of
promise suit of Daisy Gardner, tele-
graph operator, against George w. Stone,
son of wealthy board of trade operator,
has developed a romantic story
Daisy Gardner is a very pretty girl,
who takes stock quotations and the like
in an Office very near the board of trade,
where young Stone is employed in his

The young people met often and cupid

Miss Gardner says-if the senior Stone

guests arrived and the bride was ready,

Miss Gardner could not see the joke

that her former father-in-law apparent,

SPAIN Is PARTICULAR.
Her Cause of Complaint Against Consul
Williams is Not Understood.

Williams is Not Understood.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE announce
ment through the press dispatches OF
the intended action of the Spanish gov
ernment in Williams case, created great
surprise in official circles here. The
consul has the highest reputation for
efficiency in his duties, which are more
onerous than those of any other consular
post, and moreover, he has always been
on the best of terms with the Cuban OIL
cials during the many years he has been
at Havana. Mr.. Williams is about 6O
years of age.
In addition to his consular duties Mr..
Williams has been charged from tsme to
time with duties of diplomatic nature,
such as the protection of American citi-
zens in Cuba, and the state department.
has communicated directly with him in
such cases, instead of acting through the
United States minister resident in Mad
rid.
1t is surmised here that it was in the
discharge of such function
that Mr.. Williams has become per-
soma non grata, as the diplomatic
term is. toward the Spanish government
He was very recently directed by Secfe-
| tary Gresham to see to it that the AmerI-
can citizen Aguirre, charged with par
, ticipation in the present rebellion il
Cuba, should have fair trial. IL Is p, :
sible that his energetic action in IN )
case has made him obnoxious to Tie
Spanish officials.
! The salary of the consul general is
fixed at $4,000 per annum, but in add :
tion there are many unofficial fees whsc L
go-to the consul general bringing the
total compensation of the place up To
about $4,000 or $12, GOO yearly.

NO INVESTIGATIONS.
It VIII Not BE Found Out Why Santa f

It VIII Not BE Found Out Why Santa Fe
Assessments Was Lowered.
Early at this session of the legislature
a committee was appointed to investigate
charges of corruption against the out
going state officers and state boards,
especially with reference to the reduction
in the railroad assessment in favor of
the Santa Fe.
Another committee of three represen-
tatives and two senators was appointed
TO investigate the permanent school fund
of $6,0O0,U00, report on bad investments
and recommend regarding the proper
relief.
These committees may have been ap-
pointed in fit of righteousness or they
may have been named for political effect
In either event there will be no such in
vestigation for the reason that investiga-
tions are costly and the appropriations
for this purpose were killed.
The death of these Investigations was
not the death of the brave in fair, open
fight. 1t was murdered, quietly smoth-
cred by the conference committee.
In the original miscellaneous appro-
priation bill there were items appropri-
ating 5000 for the committee to investi-
gate the state boards, and So, 900 for the
school fund investigation.
conference committee kept whacking
away at these items, cutting off part OF
it every time it was reached on the list
until it had dwindled to less than $1,000
for each committee.
This SO provoked Senator Scott that he
said: 1--WE can't have any kind of an in
vestigation on this amount We ought
to appropriate enough, or none at all"
The other members of the conference
committee agreed with Senator Scott.
Mr.. Newman (Pop.) of the house was
especially opposed to any Investigations.
"They don't amount to anything" he
said "These investigating committees
are like a lot of cats. They stay up all
night and sleep all day" This argu
ment appeared to have great weight with
the conferees, and the $4,000 appropria-
tion for investigating purposes was
| killed. The conference committee was
| composed of Senator Rogers (Pop.). Sen
ator Scott (Rep.), and Representative;
Morrow (Rep.), Hunt (Rep.) and New.

CHAIRMAN ROGERS ELATED.
The Senate Got All 1t Went After in the
Matter of Appropriotions.

Matter of Appropriations.
Chairman Rogers of the senate ways
and means committee is elated over the
victory of the senate over the house in
the matter of appropriations.
In a general way the house receded in
nearly all of its demands and
the senate got what it went after.
The senate's hobby, the abolition of the
board of public works, was successful to
the extent that no appropriation was
made for the board and most of the
functions performed by it were placed in
other hands. The senate amendments
to the appropriations for Winfield, Be-
lott and Osawatomie were adhered to
and the same is true of the executive
and judicial appropriation.
In the miscellaneous appropriation
bill, out of 35 contested items, the senate
won 81 and the house IA In view Of
these facts Senator Rogers has, during
the past few days been addressed as
'czar." Representative Warner doesn't
like it at all, and last night he said: 'Mr.
Speaker, 1 understand that one man

ations. On tie conference committee

ton Mr.. Morrow over to confer with the
