big fl ght has been made to get the
governor to refuse to renominate N. M.
Hinshaw and Walter n. Allen as mem
bers of the state board of charities but
the governor was obstinate and sent up
their names.
The Populist members of the senate
caucused until midnight last night on
the matter of confirming Allen and Hin
shaw, but reached no conclusion.
1t was expected that the governor
would send up the name of G. w. Hol-
lenbeck of Coldwater for reappointment
as a member of the board of directors of
the penitentiary, but this morning a
delegation of six POpulist senators
waited on the governor and requested
him not to send up Hollenbeck's name.
and the governor did as they requested
and made no nomination for that place
It is expected there will be lively
time in the senate when the question of
the confirmation of Allen and Hinshaw
comes up. ..-..
The other appointments are those

Cubb sons Anti-LOttery Bill.
The anti-lottery bill as. passed by the
house is liable to find stormy sailing in
the senate The overwhelming zeal in
the interest of an anti-lottery bill was
divided today on the advisabllity of Civ
ing it more than such hasty consider
alton as it received in the house. Some
of the members appeared to be suspic-
ious of the bill ard declared there was
something more than zeal back of it."
AS is generally known, Mr.. Cubbison's
bill is most sweeping one. 1t is
claimed by some that the bill
is so sweeping that the supreme
court would declare it unconstitutional
1t is to avoid this that the senate wants
to give it more than a hasty considera-
ton. Senator O'Bryan read section 3 of
Cubbison's bill, which provides that a
ticket will be absolute proof of the lot
terry without proving the genuineness of
the ticket or the signatures thereon.
This he and Senator Brown declared
was equivalent to finding man guilty OF
stealing horse without proving that
any horse was stolen.
Senator Householder moved that the
bill be taken up on its final reading by
suspending the rules and declaring the
bill an emergency. Among those who
favored this plan were Senators House
holder. DumbAuld. billiard, Jumper and
Leedy. Mr.. Leedy said:
Two years ago the senator and the
representative from Wyandotte county
agreed to get an anti-lottery bill through
the Legislature. Senator Taylor got d
bill through the senate, but Mr.. Cub
bison failed to do his part in the
house. Since then there has been
a-revival of interest against lotteries IL
Kansas City, and Mr.. Cubbison, inspired
by new-found zeal, got down on his
pray bones, and promised to get bill
through the house this time. And he
has l hope to see this lottery business
settled before MIR. Cubbison's zeal yields
to the seductive influence about the
Copeland hotel" Mr.. Leedy also stated
that Governor Lewelling in trying to rid
! Wyandotte county of lotteries, had met
with the opposition of all the city and
| county officers in that place.
| At this Senator Brown said, ''the sena-
tor speaks of the efforts of the governor
in trying to suppress lotteries in Kansas
| City. Did he expect to do it by pulling
their legs. How do you like the yer
/ dict OF the people on such etforts?"
! After considerable more red-hot de
bate the motion to declare it an emerg
ency bill was defeated, as it required I
two-t thirds vote. The vote stood "A fol
to 13 against.
The senate then adjourned until 2 D. N
