bill for the inspection. weighing grad

There was great deal of fun over the
farce concurrent resolution by Senator
Morgan which was in substance,
"Whereas, the assininity of so-called
Populism and the general cussedness of
the Democratic national administration
is driving the government to the demni-
ton bow-wows generally, therefore be it
resolved that the attorney general of
Kansas is hereby instructed to begin
proceedings to put the government in the
hands of a receiver and that Tom Reed,
of Maine, be made such receiver"
Senator Carpenter moved that the
reading of the resolution be dispensed
with, but the Populists sprung "A surprise.
They wanted it considered at once.
Senator King submitted an amend

and inserting Republicanism. Then the
Republican minority began to kick.
Senator Brown said it was time to "stop

was on the Populists, but when it was

The Proposition to Remedy Tenement
House Horrors In New York.
New YORK, Jan. 3L-At mass meet
ing in Cooper Union last night, under
the auspices of the Social Reform club,
the recent report of the tenement house
committee was fully discussed.
Ribhard Watson Glider said the aboli-
ton of the rickety tenements and the
opening of small parks were questions
against which nobody would dare revolt
Henry George, however, created sur
prise by vigorously attacking the report
of the commission. 1t did not get at the
root of the difficulty, argued MIR.
George 1t recommended rapid tran
sit, but that would benefit only
corporations Parks and baths would
only increase the trouble and if the out
side were opened up and cleaned out in
a week, only the capitalists would be
benefited by it. He wound up by say
ing the abolition of private ownership of
land was the only way to abolish power
ty.
The resolutions, however, endorsed the
recommendations of the report and urg-
ed their adoption by the legislature
They also scored the Trinity corporation
because of the condition of its tene-

A Big Saving to BE Made in the Interior
Department.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Some changes
in the practice of the interior depart
ment regarding contested land cases, is
probable as result of recommends
ton of the Dockery joint commission.
This commission. made favorable report
on bill recently introduced in congress
to repeal section of the act of May IA,
1880. which provides a bonus for sue
cessful contestants in land cases. Ex-
pecting that three quarters of the con-
test work will cease, by reason of the re-
peal of this section, the commission esti-
mates that a saving will be made of sal
aries of about three fourths of the
clerks now engaged in such work
in the general land Office. This
annual saving will amount to
$4,000. In addition to this sum the
repeal of the provision of bonus in the
act of 1880 will, says the commission,
facilitate the public land business for
the people and dispense with the odious
features of the informer.
The public lands committee has adopt
ed the recommendations of the commits

engineer by the Spring Valley Water
company. In March, 1889, he returned
to the island kingdom, leaving his wife
and child behind, and few months
later Mrs Wilcox returned to her par
ents in Italy.
Being disappointed by his reception
in Honolulu, Wilcox at once began plot
ting with Liliuokalani, the heiress to
the throne, for the overthrow of the
king and the restoration of the old auto
cratic constitution. Kalakaua, learning
of this, sent for Wilcox and bought
him over to his side He told Wilcox
that he, too, was opposed to the existing
constitution, and if Wilcox wanted a
revolution to go ahead, and he would
stand by him. To this Wilcox assented,
but when the revolt was sprung Kala-
kaua turned on him, and the outbreak
was quickly suppressed with the aid of
the United States warship Adams.
In this outbreak seven OF Wilcox S
followers were killed and about dozen
wounded. At the time of the overthrow
of Liliuokalani he posed as violent an
neXationist, and so continued until
failed to get the office he sought. ST ;e
then he has been turbulent and seditious,
and the recent revolt was the result OF

CLEMENS DRAPED IN RED.

Flag About His Portrait.

The Episcopal Ladies Hung a Crimson
Flag About His Portrait.
When G. C. Clemens was told today
that the Ladies' Aid Society of Grace
cathedral draped his portrait with red
flag, last evening ON the occasion of their
entertainment at Library hall, he said:
swell, Well, Well! l stand for some
thing, don't l? That's more than some OF
them do.
Il wonder if they are going to
keep it draped? l hope they
will. Now 1 Go believe in red flag but
not necessarily as an emblem of blood
and revolution, although l do think a
bloody revolution would be much pre-
ferable to the system we are living
under. The true idea of red flag, as
understand it, is that itrepresents the
idea that all nations are connected by
ties of blood"
Mr. Clemens then went on to say that
the first socialistic literature he ever read
was put into his hands here in Topeka by
some young men, who, at that time, were
students at Washburn college.
Continuing, he said: 81 understand
l am catching it on all sides lately.
l am told that at a recent meeting
of the Ninde Chautauqua circle a

referred to Richard T. Ely and myself,

MURDERER OF MRS. MATsON
Nevils Trying to Shift the Responsibility
For the Murder.

Nevils Trying to Shift the Responsibility
For the Murder.
Frank Novels, the colored man charg-
ed with the murder of Mrs. A. D. Mat
son, which was committed early in De-
cember, is on the stand today before
Justice of the Peace Chesney.
Novels is trying hard to shift the re-
sponsibility for the crime onto some one
else, and he has promised to tell all he
knows about it if he is given immunity
Novels made what he calls a confession
to the officers. He said that he was
standing outside the window of
Mrs. Matson's house and saw
Sam Milton and another colored
man commit the murder He saw Mil
tor strike Mrs. Matson on the head with
an axe just as she came into the kitchen.
She was then dragged to the room where
the body was found, and some cloths
were wound tightly about her head.
He says that he was afraid to say any
thing because they might connect him
with the murder.
Novels story is not believed, and the
officers are satisfied that he committed
the murder, probably without assistance.
There will be no testimony offered for
Novels at this hearing and he will be
bound over to the district court for trial.
F. w. Badger, reporter for the Jour-
NAL was the first witness examined. He
told in detail about the finding of the
body as published in the JOURNAL at the
time.
Doc Ward told about the finding of
the slung-shot and said he found that it
fitted the wounds in the murdered wo-
mans head
A. W. Hopkins and W. NJ. Robinson
also told about Ward finding the slung
shot in the shawl which was around the
body.
Sam Milton was the next witness. He
is the man Novels says helped commit
the murder Milton said he only knew
Novels about three weeks before the
murder was committed. Mrs. Novels
had visited at his house frequently
and it was Mrss Novels who identified
the slungshot as belonging to her hus-
band when it was brought to Millions
house by Doc Ward. She was visiting
there at the time.
Novels attorneys tried to have Milton
say that he had given the slungshot to
Ward, after the murder was discovered
that evidently being the explanation
the defense will attempt to make.

Robert L. Wilcox. the leader of the

seems to be chronic revolutionist, one
of those enterprising adventures who
are continually plotting sedition against
the prevailing government, whatever it
may be. He has stood on all sides of all

last of which was the most pretenticus
Wilcox is native of Hawaii and is
about 80 years old. He was the especial

five years. He returned to Honolulu

the daughter of an Italian army officer.
Kalakaua soon found the young military
genius an expensive luxury and shipped
