Awkward Mistake Made by Gov.
Mckinley at Atlanta.
Offers His Support if He Fails
of Nomination
TO GOVERNOR MORTON
Expecting a Similar Pledge in
Return.
Gov. Morton Dodges the Matter
Very Cleverly.

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. Jeff it becomes
clear to the St. Louis convention that
Governor Mckinley cannot be nominated
the Ohio delegation will go to Governor
Morton, providing Governor Mckinley
is able to fulfill promise made during
his recent visit TO this city. The prom
ise was entirely voluntary, and was SO
earnest that there can be no doubt of
Governor McKinley's intention to live up
to it.
The promise was made about 5:30
p m, September 21, Veterans Day,
when the two governors, who had been
the central figures, were in their car
riage returning to their hotel. In the
carriage with them were ex- Governor
Rufus Brown Bullock, of Georgia, and
Col. Ashley w. Cole, Governor Morton's
private secretary. The carriage had
scarcely started when Gov. Mckinley is
said to have placed his hands on Gov.
Morton's shoulders and said:
"Governor, you would make a magnifi-
cent president of these United States,
and next to myself l would rather see
you nominated than any man | know of.
l promise, if the chances go againstme,
and it appears that l cannot be nomina-
ted. to swing the Ohio delegation over to
you, providing l have the power to do
So"
Then Gov. Mckinley sat back in his
seat and for full minute nobody in the
carriage spoke. The gentleman from
Ohio looked questioningly at ex-Gov.
Bullock and Col. Cole. Then he spoke
again and revealed what he had hoped
to accomplish. Turning again to Gov.
Morton, he said:
"Well, now have spoken and declared
myself. What have you got to say?"
This made it clear that he had hoped
to secure from the New York governor
similar pledges but he was mistaken.
Governor Morton, with little smile,
thanked Governor Mckinley for his con-
tingent promise for help, and then added
in the quiet, SELF contained way that is d
part of his character:
sit is impossible for me to say any
thing about the matter, for my mind is
still unsettled concerning it. It is too
early to speak, the situation is not sutfi-
ciently clear and things have not yet
shaped themselves"
Gov. Mckinley was clearly disappoint-
ed. he sank back in his seat and was
silent for some time. He probably saw
his mistake, but that he regretted it has
not appeared. Anyway, he bound him
self IN the presence of witnesses to do all
he could to make Gov. Morton the second
choice of the state of Ohio.

STIRS UP CHURCH PEOPLE
Resolutions Adopted Consuming L. NJ.
Crawford for Sunday Thsnters.

At three Topeka churches last even
ing namely the First Presbyterian, First
Congregational and First Christian, reso-
lutions were adopted by the Y. P S. c. E.
societies censuring L. M. Crawford for
opening his theater on Kansas avenue
for a theatrical performance last night
given by the Crow Sisters Comedy Co.
The societies number about 140 mem
bers. The resolutions were the same in
each church as follows:
Whereas, The public sentiment of all
the good Christians of Topeka has been
so pronounced for the past fifteen years
as to compel the closing of such places
of entertainment on the Sabbath day and
we are persuaded that such sentiment
still exists; therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Young Peoples So
cietv of Christian Endeavor that we do
heartily condemn and disapprove of such
performances on the Sabbath day and de-
nounce the same as not only in violation
of Gods laws, but of the laws of the city
and state as well. and productive only of
evil; and be it further
Resolved, That we pledge ourselves,
individually and collectively, to use our
influence to discourage all such desecra-
tion on the Sabbath day, and we further
pledge ourselves not TO patronize such
places of amusement until all such en-
gagements are wholly discontinued.

To Establish n Medical College in a TOwI
No Bigger Than Topeka.

To Establish a Medical College in a Town
No Bigger Than Topeka.
Says the New York World in its Fri
day addition which has just reached To-
peka:
"The governor of Kansas has had to
call out troops to defend the medical col
lege at Topeka against mob.
sit appears that the medical college
has been getting cadavers for dissection
through graverobbers, and several bodies
of persons buried in a local cemetery
have beon found in the dissecting room.
Therefore the people of Topeka desire
to wreck the institution.
The case is instructive. Why did the
people of Kansas, through their legisla-
ture, ever establish a medical college in
a town of about $4,000 inhabitants? No
medical college in such town can by
any possibility fit its students for the
practice of medicine. 1t has no
great hospitals in which to give
clinical instruction. Its students can
not have opportunity to see dis
ease or its treatment. They
can not even learn anatomy
except by robbing the neigh
boring gravevaris. Modern medi-
cine is an advanced, difficult and very
complex science. In order to become
proficient in it the student must have
conditions and appliances which are not
to be found outside of great cities. There
should be no medical colleges in any
other places. To maintain them else
where is to degrade scientific education,
and to turn loose upon the community a
horde of doctors whose 'little learning
is a dangerous thing Compared with
this evil the occasional robbery of a
graveyard is a minor incident. though an
evil one.
"The state of Kansas should not permit
a Topeka mob to wreck the medical
school there. But the state should aboI-
ish the school as in itself mistake and
an evil"
The World is in error in stating that
the medical school is an institution crea-
ted by the state legislature. It is q pri-
vate college.-ED.

The Secretary of the Interior
Discussed in the House.
Mr.. Flynn of Oklahoma Makes.
Remarks About His Honor
IN INDIAN ALLOTMENT
SAYS His Relatives are PrOfiting
by His Inactivity.
Flynn Holly Replied To by Nc
Millin and Cooper.

RgWAsHINeToN, Dec 16.-There was
almost war time scene in the house
this morning when Mr.. Flynn (Repub-
lican, Okla) asked unanimous consent
for the consideration of 2 resolution
calling upon the secretary of the interior
to inform the house the reasons for the
delay in the appointment Of the allot-
ing agents to allot lands to the Wichita
Indians, and whether any of the blood
connections of the secretary of the in
terror were interested in delaying tho
opening of those lands to settlement
Mr.. McMillin (Dem., Tenn thought it
was not drawn in the usual form. While
examining it Mr.. Flynn called out: "It
don't affect any of your importations into
Oklahoma"
81 don't make importations," replied
Mr.. McMillin sharply.
''Well Hoke Smith does for you," re-
torted Mr.. Flynn.
MIR. McMilIin protested that this was
not an occasion for levity. He pointed
out the defect in the resolution and at
Mr.. Flynn's request the words "if not
Incompatible with the public interests
were inserted.
Mr.. Maddox Dem, Ga.) was at first
disposed to object to the resolution, bus
finally withdrew his objection.
Mr.. Flynn then made brief explana-
ton of the purport of the resolution.
He declared that the alloting agents re-
quired by law to be appointed had not
been appointed.
ct is a we'll known fact" said he,
SHAT Hoke Smith has lot of relations
who are profting by the delay in this
matter. They are acting as attorneys for
the Indians"
His attack of the secretary OF the in
terror was bitter. He said among other
things that he had seen today a contract
by which aman was to receive 81, 700 if
he could prevent Secretary Smith from
ratifying an agreement.
Mr. Cooper (Dsm. Fla.) took up the
cndgel on behalf of Secretary Smith. He
denouaeed Mr.. Flynn's Extraordinary
Casually said he. sthe gentleman
from Oklahoma exhibits the proper ideas
of decency in addressing the house, but
he has today sadly failed"
He protested that Mr.. Flynn had in
dulged in language concerning a mem
Der of the cabinet unbecoming men,
ber of the house, and eulogized Secretary
Smith as man who stood as high before
the American people as any man on the
floor.
Mr.. Flynn replied to 8Ir. Cooper with
some temper He admitted that he had
feelings in the matter and explained the
cause of it in mis- trip to Washington last
spring. He had come 1900 miles to see
the president and find out why Secretary
Smith had not complied with
the law. He had written Mr.
Cleveland for an audience,
and after brief response from Private
Secretary Thurber, had waited in vain
for a week to see him. He had appealed
to Secretary Smith and the commissioner
of the land office, but to no avail.
MIR. Flynn then demanded the previous
question and the resolution was adopted
without division.
