The Reference to the Topeka Club Created
a Stir.

a Stir. .
The reading of the governors message
in the senate occupied just an hour and
a half, from $3.50 to $50. During the
reading many of the senators paid re-
spectful attention, while a majority of
them wrote letters or went into the cloak
room to talk or smoke.
The indirect reference to the Topeka
club affair created a stir among the To-
peka people, and there was applause
among some of the visitors, of short dur
alton, however.
The war Renaissance brought forth
applause from the Populist side of the
house; and smiles, even one inadvertent
and hastily suppressed 'horse laugh"
from the Republicans
When the news that the message was
over had spread, Senator Sterne and
others came back from the cloak
room. Mr.. Sterne said he could
read those portions of the message which
he cared to, in the JOURNAL when he got
home.
1t required three men to read the
message. Mr. Rich would read until his
voice became husky, and he gave way to
another man, who read until his throat
was parched and he was red in the face,
when still another substitute took up the

SARCASM IN THE HOUSE.

Resolutions RidicuIing the Large Num-
Der of Offices Positions Created.
The resolutions creating offices about
the house got so numerous yesterday
afternoon that some of the members
couldn't help holding the matter up to
ridicule.
Mr.. Hopkins of Finney. who is always
rising to be informed or to ask ques-
ton or to be instructed so he can vote in
diligently, offered a resolution provid-
ing that each member of the house be
empowered to provide himself at once
with stenographer and page. 1t went
over amid laughter.
Another in the same vein by Mr.
Tough of Labette, read something like
this: Resolved, That if any member OF
this house has any friend or relative as
yet unprovided for, that place shall at
once be created for him.

They Want Mating the Floor and the
stairs Scrubbed.
In the senate yesterday afternoon,
Senator Leeiy introduced resolution to
lay mating on such portions of the mar
BILE floor as are not covered by carpet. He
said he was hard of hearing and often
lost the thread of discussion by people
making a noise walking on the marble
door. Senator Brown remarked, d7yly,
~ es, 1 missed some of the most valua-
bic points in the message from that
cause" The resolution was adopted.
Senator Thacher took compassion on
an old colored woman hrs J. Posie
Jones by name, because she is so poor,
and remembering that the stairs leading
to the senate chamber were extremely
| dirty, he offered resolution authorizing
the sergeant at arms to employ her to
scrub the stairs. One or two members
voted against the measure for reasons of
economy, but Mrs. Posie Jones got the
| job in spite of them. Thereby Mr.
Thacher made one more lifelong friend
The matter of the publication of q

Talk of the War.

Talk of the War.
Mr. Butler of Bourbon county stirred
up the first enthusiasm that has been
shown in the house, yesterday afternoon.
When that part of the governors mes
sage was reached which began the re-
cital of the legislative war, Mr.. Butler
said
"Mr. President: When the governors
message was presented to this house,
the Republicans granted the courtesy
that it be read through. but when the
governor undertakes to recite the history
of the legislative war and tell these mem
bers who did and who did not do right,
declare that he has transcribed his pre-
negatives. Therefore | move that the
further reading of the message be post
poned."
Cheers and applause greeted Mr.. But
ler's remarks and Warner of Cherokee
seconded his motion though he had pre-
viously discouraged a similar motion
which was not passed. But the motion
was ruled out of order by Speaker pro
tenn Cubbison and the message was
read through.
Frazer of Harvey who had once before
moved that the reading be dispensed
with arose again before the message was
finished and said: "Mr. Speaker, do I'M
derstand that we've got to hear this thing
read through"
"That's about it." said Mr.. Cubbson,
''let's have some more of it. Mr.. Clerk. :"

the election of Judge W. B. Sutton of
Russell, as chairman and Representative
Tucker of Douglas county, as secretary
1t was at once agreed that the caucus
should proceed to the election of state
printer by ballot, and the chairman was
authorized to appoint four tellers.
Senator Morgan, Representatives Gar
denhire, Powers and Merideth were
named as tellers
About a dozen mem bers talked at once,
and by the consent of the caucus agreed
that there should be no nominating
speeches of any kind, and that no men
ton of candidates names was necessary,
although Mr.. Eckstein of Sedgwick asked
about il. to be sure.
In order that the proceedings might
proceed, and proper record might be
kept, Senator Charles F. Scott was cleo
ted assistant secretary.
The tellers were stationed at either
side OF the chairman's desk with hats in
hands and as the secretary called the roll
the members marched up and deposited
their ballots.
Major Hudson's friends were greatly
disappointed that he should lack Just two
votes of nomination on the first ballot,
but they said little and the result was
soon known. The first ballot stood
j. *. Hudson. 81

Total vote cast 1O5; necessary to a
choice 53. Major Hudson was then de-
clared the unanimous nominee of the
caucus.
Senator Wilcoxson wanted to adjourn
at once, but Mr.. Eckstein had a motion
which he wanted to offer which was.
that when the caucus adjourned it should
adjourn to meet next Wednesday night
at o'clock in the same place to nom
mate candidate for United States sena-
tor.
Senator Lucien Baker, the objector of
the upper house, objected that the caucus
was called for a specific purpose and
had no right to consider such a motion
Judge Sutton said it was his notion
the caucus was law unto itself and put
the motion. When the motion was
adopted without a diss entng vote. Sen.
ator Baker was told that the chair was
sustained.
The caucus then adjourned.
George w. Crane, the popular printer
who stood second place in the race, said
all through the contest that he had not
asked any member to pledge him his
vote, saying he considered the friend
ship and good will of the members more
advantageous to his interests than their
pledges.
Perhaps if Mr.. Crane had secured some
MED CRS the rnGnlt irrh ? A.
ferent but as Major Hudson did secure
some absolute pledges the result is as il
is, and seems to be satisfactory to all
concerned.

A MUCH RUGGED MAN.


The House approximations Beset With
Applicants for Appointments.
The sergeant at arms of the house, Mr..
A. c. Jordan, never did know until yes
ter1ay how many people were interested
in him. He was the most Rugged man
to be seen about the state house. I'M
mediately after the resolution giving him
the power to appoint fifteen assistants
had been adopted, swarm of members
who had friends or relatives or political
workers to provide for, settled upon him.
First one and then the other reached
up to Mr.. Jordon's high shoulders and
putting their arms about his neck, drew
his head down and whispered in his ear.
Nov l want you to consider that al
most every one said.
"Well l amt appointed anyone and
Pm not going to just yet" said Mr.. Jor-
dan in worried way.
One pretty girl about IS years old, who
had brother or father she was interced-
ing for, stood by with the tears just about
coming into her big brown eyes and
pleaded with the sergeant when he was
able to tear himself away from the crowd
of clutching, whispering politicians.
The big sergeant looked as if he would
have been much happier wrestling with
a corn pillow in a stumpy field or riding a
bucking pony.
