A Union of Popu1ists and r. publicans
the Senate Probable

the Senate PrObabIe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-There is one
consideration which has not so far been
taken into account which may influence
the Republican and Populist senators to
come together in the organization of the
next senate, and that is the effect that
such a com bination, or the failure to
make it, the opportunity being presented,
would have upon the two parties in the
southern states.
The Populists claim that in addition
to Senators PETER, Allen, Kyle and Stew
art, the avowed Populists now sitting IN
the senate, Senator Jones of Nevada, will
certainly act with them as will Senators
; Irby and Tillman of South Carolina, and
Mr. Butler of North Carolina, giving
them a representation of eight senators
after March
A great many Republican senators dis
parage the idea of any reorganization,
and many who are not averse to it con-
tend that an agreement between the Re-
publicans and Democrats is more nat
ural than a combination of Republicans
and Populists.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEEDS.

Where Money Could Be Spent to Advan-
tage, Says Secretary Adams.
In the biennial report of the State His
torical society, Secretary F. G. Adams
makes a request for more room. He
states some of the many needs of the So
ciety in the closing paragraphs, which
read as follows:
SAT our present rate of increase, all
the room of two floors of one of the wings
of the capitol building will be required
to answer the needs OF our society within
the next five years. A conference with
the state architect on this sub
ject has led to the opinion that
in view of existing plans for
the completion and occupancy of the
capitol building, and in view of assign
ment of room already made and contem-
plated, provision for the historical society
can best be made in the east wing, the
two main floors being given for that OBJ
ject. The ro0ms on those floors, as now
understood. will be mainly, or wholly, va
Gated by the departments now occupying
them by their removal into other portions
of the building.
"Our society has calls for present legis-
lative action to supply its urgent needs
as follows: Provision for permanent
rooms in the completed capitol building,
additional temporary room, increased
funds for the purchase of books. addi-
tional appropriation for clerk hire, and
provision for present printing needs.
Our clerical workers-always industri-
Gus, skillful and faithful-have never
been adequately paid. Some of them
should have increased salaries. And
there is an imperative demand for an adj
ditional clerk.
provision should be made at the very
outset of the legislature for the printing
of this report and for the printing of the
catalogue of the Kansas portion
of our library, now ready for
the printer. Our society, in
respect TO its printing, has fallen under
the misfortune resulting from the scant

Kansas. This is the first intimation that
we, who live here, have had that the peo-.
pie in the western part of the state
needed assistance that they could not
procure at home. Mr.. TaImage could
perhaps find all the work of that kind he
may desire much nearer home. The i'm
preston has gained foothold here in
the west that there is large number of
people in New York city who fall far

legislature. Our biennial reports show
the work of the society for two years
ending in November, with full tabular
lists showing the different classes of ac-
cessions, together with Acknowledgements
to donors for their gifts of all kinds.
Being completed in November, time is
given for the printing of the report for
the information of the Legislature and
for presentation to the annual meeting of
the society in January. he failure in
the printing department at this time is
serious in its effects upon our society,
and greatly to be deplored."

and Prices Go Up.
CHICAGO, Jan. 8.-Chicago representa-
tives of the two biggest plate glass com
panies in the United States have received
notice that the price had been advanced
20 per cent, the figures going back to
those fixed October 27, but which were
subsequently cut on account OF dis
agreement at a meeting held by the
companies representatives at Cleveland,
December 20.
The reinstatement of the price seems
to indicate that the plate glass companies
have come to an agreement and presages
the purchase by the Pittsburg Plate
Glass company of all the other plants in
the United States and the formation of
plate glass monopoly. In fact some of
the Chicago jobbers were willing to say
that they thought the purchase was al
ready made.

The Wool Market.
The market in Boston is stronger than
it was fortnight ago. There is more
looking round, and more inclination
upon the part of users to take hold. The
sales this week will make an aggregate
OF nearly four million pounds. While the
demand has been pretty general, fine
wool coming in for share, the inquiry
for medium and low stock-coarse me-
dunn and -blood-deserves particular
attention.
AT least $500, 900 pounds of domestic
stock has been moved since last writing;
this includes a goodly amount of terri
tory, Texas aud California, and more than
800, 900 pounds OF secured. Manufacturers
have been in frequent attendance during
the past fortnight and are beginning TO
manifest considerable interest in various
kinds of stock. Pulled woods continue to
attract their share of attention.
The traffic in foreign wool, though not
in volume quite up to last weeks record,
nevertheless makes a very good showing.
Australian and Cape are being taken in
good-sized lots, and several hundred
thousand pounds of carpet wool have
changed hands.
The sales OF the week amount to 2,570,-
265 lbs. domestic and ,262, 500 lbs. foreign
making total of 3,s32,76 against total
OF g. ,1l5,000 for the previous week, and
total OF 2,l66, 900 lbs. for the correspond
ing week last year. The sales since Jan /,
1895, amount to 3,697, ,215 lbs. against 55,-
or, 700 lbs. a year ago.
