THE REDsMPTIoN LAW.
Important Decision by the Supreme CouFt
OF Kansas

Important Decision by the Supreme Court
OF Kansas.
TOPEKA, Kans.. Dec. 10 The supreme
court of Kansas, at its sitting Satur-
day, handed down an opinion of vast
Importance to the debtors OF the state,
sustaining the coDstitutionality of the
law of 1898, which gives eighteen
months to the debtor to redeem on all
sales on execution or foreclosure Of
mortgage, whether the mortgage was
made prior to the passage Of the law
or not
The Importance OF this decision 70
loan companies and mortgagors may
be realized when it is remembered that
under the law of 1893, the mortgagor
may redeem his land for the amount
for which it was bid in and not for she
amount upon which judgment was
taken, or the amount of the money
which he had borrowed. It forces the
loan company to bid up the full amount
of the loan when buying in securities at
sheriffs' sale OF else stand the danger
of having the lands taken from them
by repayment of a less sum than was
originally loaned. The loans ia Kan
sas affected By this decision amount to
many millions. and the full force OF It
win De felt by companies which have
loans IN the western part Of the state.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1L-Represensa-
tive William E Barrett, of Massaohu-
sets. enjoys the distinction Of being
the author Of the most thrilling Incl
dent in the present house of represent
atives. lie threw a bombshell into that
body soon after it convened by offering
a resolution impeaching Thomas f
Bayard. ex-secretary of state, and now
United States ambassador to the court
of St James, for high crimes and mis-
demeanors The grounds advanced
were utterances of Mr.. Bayard, de-
liveFed before the Edinburgh, Scotland.
Philosophical institute, November 2.
In his speech Mr. Bayard spoke of
protection" as a form of state social
ISM" and said it had done more TO
foster class legislation, "breed In
iquity," corrupt public life," lower
the tone of national representation, !"
divorce the ethics from politics than
any other single cause.
Such reflections on the government
policy by United States ambassador
before a foreign audience, the resolu-
tion recited, were in serious disregard
of his proprieties and obligations and
calculated to injure our national repu-
tation It concluded by instructing
the foreign affairs committee, which
was empowered to send persons and
papers, to investigate and report by
impeachment or otherwise. Mr. Bar
rett's resolution had been preceded by
one of his colleague, Mr.. Mccall, in 3
milder tone.
Mr.. McCalrs resolution went down
before an objection, and then it was
that Mr.. Barrett sprung his impesch-
ment resolution as a question of privi-
lege.
Mr.. Crisp, the leader of the minority,
made an unavailing attempt to con-
test the privileged nature of the reso-
luton. Speaker Reed overruled his
point of order and the resolution was
thrown into the arena of debate,
where it remained for three hours
The republicans took the posi-.
ton that Mr.. Bayard's speech
constituted an Offeuse against
the country. that called for
a stern rebuke, if not his recall. The
democrats took the position that Mr.,
Bayard's utterances did not, by any
stretch of the imagination, constitute
grounds for impeachment. Mr.. Hit,
who will be chairman of foreign af-
fairs, advised Mr. Barrett to amend the
resolution so as to strike out the words
instructing the committee to report
by impeachment or otherwise" and
this was finally done, Mr. Crisp moved
to refer the resolution to the judiciary
committee, which being done by a
strict party vote-9O to 2O7-the demo
Gratis cOntented themselves with sim
ply voting viva voce against the reso-
luton, which was adopted without
division,

patch from Paris this morning says:
''The chamber of deputies to-day, after
a discussion Of the military budget,
decided that, except under unusual
circumstances, no more timed meats
should be supplied to the army after
January 1, 1896, except such as are
manufactured in France or in the
French colonies" The dispatch was
shown to J. W. Reed, of Armour's
packing house in this city, and he said;
''This action by the French cham
Der is nothing more than a further
carrying out the policy held by the
French government for some time, the
exclusion Of all American hog and
other packing products. Hog products
are admitted now only because of
microscopic inspection. France is de-
cidedly unfriendly to American pack
ing interests, but the exclusion of
American timed meats from the army
will not be a very serious blow. The
trade has been considerable, it is true,
but yet not of such proportions as
many people think"

New YORK, Dec, 1l.-News was re-
ceived here last night of another mas
sacre in Cuba, the second since the be-
ginning of the war. Following a bat
tie on November 6, the Spanish column,
under command of Col Molina, re-
treated to Cayo Espino, a settlement
comprising about 100 people The
women and children of the place be-
came demoralized at the approach of
the Spaniards and took refuge in the
principal dwelling. The soldiers be-
gan firing into the house and, whether
by command of Col Molina or not may
never be known, but the building was
set on fire and twenty-one persons,
mostly women and children, persisted
in the flames. Four men who escaped
from the rear were killed.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Dec. 1l.-Austra-

ries won by the American champion
cyclist, Arthur A. Zimmerman One
paper states: ''On November 16 at the
Sydney cricket grounds, $4,000 enthu-
siastic Australians surged and swayed
and waved their arms in wild excite
ment at the phenomenal American
wheelman. Zimmerman won the final
in the great international cycle
race. Martin, the long distance
champion of America, rode pluckily
and was loudly cheered, but the APP
plause grew tremendous when thinner
man appeared slowly pedaling toward
the track from his dressing rooms,
which were decorated with the stars
and stripes. The race of the day was
the = mile championship of Australia.
Zimmerman was put against two Aus
tralian flyers in the first heat aud won
easily in 1918. In the final thinner
man seemed in superb condition and
won easily by 30 yards, but gave the
impression that he could have made
the gap much wider"

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE United States
embassy was besieged early to-day by
newspaper reporters anxious to obtain
the views of Ambassador Bayard upon
the demand for his impeachment
made yesterday in the house of repre-
sentatives at Washington by Con-
gresham William E. Barrett, of
Massachusetts, on the ground that he
had insulted the country from which
he was accredited and the people he
represented in speeches delivered at
Boston, England, and at Edinburgh,
Scotland, August and November z,
respectively, All attempts to induce
Mr. Bayard or his staff to discuss the
matter failed, while the British officials
also declined to make any statements
The st. James Gazette this afternoon
thinks that Mr.. Bayard may resign
after such an attack. IF SO" it adds,
his loss will be regretted by all who
have come in contact with such a fine
example of dignifel, eloquent
American statesman. Bat Mr.. Bay
ards indiscretion was so deliberate
that we doubt if he did not contem-
plate this result After all, we, too,
should resent it if our ministers made
similar statements"
