SAYS HE IS IN TO STAY.
Copgreasman Wellington Discusses
His Senatorial Aspirations.


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
BALTIMORE. Md, November 19.-The fol-
lowers of Senator German and Mr. Rasin
affect to take considerable amusement in the
discussion as to methods of recognizing the
democratic party. They declare that all
efforts at reorganization in which their par
tic ipat!on is to be in a very large degree
eliminated will prove futile. and that they do
not propose to be set aside by small fac
ton of the party. These regulars say that
constituting as they do nine-tenths of the
Iarty, they intend to retain control, and
that the reform people are reckoning
without their host If they believe that they
are to obtain control of the organization.
Notwithstanding the sweeping republican
victories, the control of the Maryland de-
mocracy remains in the hands of Senator
German and his friends. and his followers
say that they propose to manage the pri-
marieS next year for the selection of dele
gates to the next national democratic con-
venton and that two of the delegates will
be Senators German ard Gibson.
The return of Congressman George L.
Wellington from Cumberland has added con-
siderable force to the controversy over the
senatorship.
Mr.. Wellington, in speaking Of the situa-
ton and his candidacy to The Star cores
pendent, said this morning: Il have every
confidence that / shall win this fight. l en-
tered the contest only at the advice of per-
sonal friends, Gov.-elect Lowndes being
among the number, and / expect to win. l
shall have the unbroken support of the
western Maryland delegates to the general
assembly. a majority from southern Mary
land and number from the eastern shore.
In fact, l have assurances from sufficient
delegates now to elect me under any cir
cuElstances. and believe that shall sue
coed Mr.. Gibson. The statement published
that ! am willing to withdraw in favor Of
Mr.. Gary is absolutely false. 1 have no IN
tention of doing so. The most energetic
opposition to my candidacy appears to
come from the German men.
THE truth is, the whole opposition to me
who always stand together. They don't
want me in the Senate, and. with their fol-
lowers in both parties. are trying to COM
pass my defeat They tried to defeat
Lowndes, and failed, as they will fail
again"

not word of truth in 1t. Nor did he ever
suggest to Mrs. Hutchinson, as stated nv
her, that Mr.. Hutchinson's will should be
broken. He did, however. advise her when
she made the inquiry. that she could dis
regard the will of her husband. At his sue-
gestion she consulted Mr.. VIM. F. Mat
tinSly, his attorney, and she once remarked
that the will did not leave her as we'll off
as she was during her husbands life
Referring to the statement OF Mrs. Webb
that he rudely declined Mrs. Hutchinson's
invitation to partake of oysters shortly after
Mr.. Hutchinson'S death, the latter part of
May or the early part of June, Mr.. Olmstead
said he never ate oysters in May or June
and that there was no truth in Mrs. Webb's
statement. He also denied her statement
that he had assured her of an annual in
come of 10000 if she would join in an effort
to break her fathers will.
Referring to the estrangement between his
wife and her mother and sister, Mr.. Ohm
stead stated that the first he ever heard Of
it was when his wife came into his office
one day and told him that iler mother and
sister had refused to speak to her. He posi-
lively denied ever saying that he would have
no one about him whom he could not own
body and soul. He denied ever restricting
his wife as to what she should drink, nor
any one else. He was fond of La Paloma :"
and denied ever having forbade his wife
from playing it.
He said he never interfered with his wife
in the matter of using the carriages or
horses and remarked. in answer to Mr..
the slightest way restrict Mrs. Olmstead or
restrain her from doing what she wished.
Upon one occasion. said Mr.. Olmstead, he
accompanied his wife to the cemetery
where her father had been buried. when
she discovered that her mother and sister
had removed the body. That was during
the estrangement. and she was refused a
key to the lot to which the body, unknown
to her, had been removed.
His wife's disposition, said Mr. Olmstead
was the loveliest he ever came In contact
with. She was also woman of much
more than the average intelligence.

BROKE THEIR ARMS.

Jack Threw Them Down Stakeholder
Police Court Cases.
Mrs. Jack Morton, nee Douglas, had a
bit of unpleasantness with her husband
last night about one o'clock and has a
broken arm in sling this morning. So
has her brother.
The police do not know what the dis
pute was about, but Mr.. Morton threw
his wife and brother-in-law down the
front stairs of their habitation on Kan
sas avenue between Third and Fourth
streets, and was arrested.
He was present in police court today,
but owing to the fact that Mrs. Morton
could not be present on account, it was
said, of the injuries received, the case
was continued till tomorrow.
Harry Kennady and Harry Lewis, who
had been picked up with several pairs of
spectacles in their possession, which they
were trying to sell without any visible
right to, were each fined So, after plead
ing guilty. They were young and we'll
dressed, and the police are looking for
something behind the case.
Charley Edwards, printer, had been in
toxicated and interfering with the walk
ing on Kansas avenue by his gyrations
yesterday, pleaded guilty and was fined
So. The police said Edwards was a poor
man and had destitute family, and the
judge did the best he jndicially could
and reduced the price to 50.

POPGUN FEE BILLS.
A General Bill Failing Various County
Bills Come Up.

A General Bill Failing Various County
Bills Come Up.
When the conferees over the senate
substitute for the Ballinger fees and
salaries bill failed to agree yesterday,
the senate discharged its conferees and
appointed Senators Scott and Lands in
the place of Senators Taylor and Sterne
The house has not appointed the mem
bers of the second conference committee,
and lacks faith to believe that the differ
ences can be adjusted, or the disposition
to adjust them.
The house passed a lot of local bills
last night regulating the fees in individ-
ual counties. The bills we're Etomnibused'
and read in unison, one vote sufficing for
all bills. The counties effected by the
bills are Neosho, Wilson, Smith, Usage,
Haskell, Montgomery, Sumner, Marion,
Dickinson. Miami, Finney, Greenwood,
Douglas, Elk, Scott, Clark, Morris, Com
manche, Chautauqua. Riley, Wallace,
and Rocks.
Mr.. Gardenhire introduced a new fees
| and salaries bill for Shawnee county,
which was substituted for the VeaIe bill
in the house. 1t will be pushed forward.
Mr.. Veale has agreed to the substitute.
1t is practically the Ballinger bill put
into effect in this county, reducing the
profits of the Office of clerk of the dis
trict court about % per cent The sheriff
claims his fees will be reduced 80 per
cent, but it is doubtful if the reduction
| is really SO great The fees of the pro-
! bate judge are reduced, especially on
the item of liquor business under the
| prohibitory law.

FIVE HONEST ONES.
Senators Who Do Not Ride on
Railroad Passes.

Cer4ain Senators Announce That They
Pay Their Eare-OCher Legislative
News.
The article in last nights JOURNAL in
relation to the proneness of Legislators to
beg passes, made an uproar in the Kan
sas senate late yesterday, as soon as the
senators received their papers. The sem
ate was in committee of the whole until
about $50, but as soon as the committee
''arose" Senator Dumbauld was on his
feet and shouted, ss1fr President, l rise
to question of personal privilege. l hold
in my hand copy of tonight's issue of
the Topeka STATE JOURNAL, in which A.
A. Hurd of the Santa Fe, says he has
issued 1899 legislative passes. This l
figure out is more than thirty to each
member. The people will know when
they read this article all over Kansas,
why it is impossible for them to get any
anti-railroad legislation. You can't ex-
pect legislator to vote against the rail
roads when his pocket is lined with
passes"
"Will the gentleman explain" de-
manded Lieutenant Governor Troutman,
rapping his gavel, where the point of
personal privilege comes INF"
81 WILL" resumed Senator Dumbauld
II want to say there is one senator on
this floor who does not ride on pass!~
"There are two," chimed in Senator
Taylor.
"Three," shouted Senator Dennison.
"Four," voiced Senator True.
"Five," yelled Senator Cooke.
''Now, l want to say" continued Sena-
tor Dumbauld, shat don't know this
man Hurd. l have never asked him for
pass and never asked him for pass
for anyone else, and nobody ever asked
him for pass for me. l simply want to
raise the point that it is unjust for Hurd
to class US all as boodIers If some SEN
ators have been demanding these passes,
let him give the namesw [Applause.]
Senator jumper of Usage county said:
81 wish to say for myself and as a Popu-
list, that ride on pass over the Santa
Fe. But also claim the distinction of
being the author of the only anti-p pass
bill that has passed either branch of this
legislature. AS long as there are Re-
publicans there will continue to be
-grabbers, aud as long as they ride
on passes Senator Jumper will get one
every time he can" Laughter
This was all there was said. The
senators looked awed and seemed to ad-
mire Mr. Dumbauld's virtue and Mr..
Jumpers gall
Senator True said afterwards to a
JOURNAL reporter, 81 have never ridden
on the pass of any railroad in Kansas. I
not only refuse them for myself but re-
fuse to get my clerks or appointees any.
l agree with the JOURNAL that it is not
right for legislator to pass bill affect
ing railroads with his pockets full of
passes"

REPUDIATE JUST DEBTS.
The Senate Objects to Paying 100000 for
the Care of Destitute Insane.

The Senate Objects to Paying 100000 for
the Care of Destitute Insane.
One member of the Kansas senate
made strong fight last night to repudi-
ate a Just and honest debt The debt is
one of $9O57O due to the custodians of
insane persons in Kansas for whom there
is not sufficient room in either of the
two big insane asylums. Senator Forney
was opposed to making this appropria-
ton, but merely letting it go by default.
The law of 1876 provides that the state
shall pay fifty cents per day or So 80 per
week for the care of insane persons out
side of the asylums. Nobody objected
to the state paying this bill until this
year. The bill has been growing larger
and larger year by year, and this year is
jumped from about $4,000 to over 800, :
600 This is what led to the suggestion
of reputation. Senator Forney said he
thought this law was being abused and
he favored stopping the abuse by refus-
ing to pay the bill
that" said Senator Brown, and he read
the law on the subject
81 do mean exactly that" replied the
statesman from Sumner. 81 think the
counties ought to take care of their own
destitute insane without calling on the
state to help them"
A motion to strike out the enactinp
clause of the appropriation bill was de-
feated by vote of Is to 10. It was then
recommended for passage, subject to
amendment and debate. That's no sign
it will pass.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE BILLS.
Two of Them Passed the Senate Las
Night.


Two of Them Passed the Senate Last
Night.
Two bills were passed late yesterday
by the senate to enable several Kansas
women who desire to vote to test the
question of whether or not they can be
enfranchised by an act of the legislature.
One of these bills, by Senator Scott, is
aimed to give the women of Kansas the
right to vote at presidential elections.
The other gives the elective franchise
without restrictions to Mrs. Althea Briggs
Stryker and ten other women, most of
whom live in Topeka.
The women think an act of the legis-
lature is all they need to enfranchise
them, and they propose to go into court
and find out about it.
The vote on the suffrage bill was:

Cooke, Danner, Dennison, Forney, Helm

Ex-Governor John P. St. John is in

terday and called upon Governor Morrill,
Il like Governor Morrill," said he. "He
is good fellow. l was in the senate
with him and like him. He is doing

TO COMPLETE THE CAPITOL.
The Bill Has Passed the House, and Now
the Senate VIII Pass It.

The Bill Has Passed the House, and Now
the Senate Will Pass It.
The passage of the appropriation bill
of $4,000 and a quarter of mill levy
for the completion of the state house, is
more promising now than it has been at
any time this session. There seems to be
but little doubt that the appropriation
will pass. In the senate committee of
the whole late yesterday the appropria-
ton bill came up The opposition was
not so strong by far as the friends of the
appropriation had feared. It was con-
fined chiefly to Senators Reid of Craw-
ford and Shearer of Marshall. These
senators were opposed to completing the
state house on the ground of hard times.
Chairman Rogers, of the ways and means
committee, spoke in favor of the bill,
and what he says about appropriation
lis generally goes. He said: "For sew
eral years / have been opposed to an
appropriation for the completion of
the capitol, but I favor it now.
After walking through the hall
between the east and west wings, which
is very properly called pneumonia cor
ridor,' l have decided that the state
house should be allowed something by
this legislature, at least as much as this
bill calls for"
The bill was finally recommended for
passage subject to amendment and de-
bate. Inasmuch as it is a house bill, its
passage by the senate will send it to the
governors Office for approval
