Topeka, Kan, June 13.-Attorney-
General Dawes has rendered an opinion
in which he declares fifty-six laws
passed by the recent legislature are I'M
constitutional All of the acts SO de-
clared relate to the vacation of town
sites or parts of townsites. During the
boom times additions were laid out to
nearly every town in Kansas with no
earthly hope of their ever becoming a
real part of the city, and these acts OF
the legislature were intended to put the
lots. streets and alleys back into their
former legal status as Gland" The at
torney-general declares that these acts
are contrary to the provisions of sec
tions 1 and of article IL of the con-
stitution. The encouragement also
holds that any act passed to affect any
certain city is unconstitutional and
says that such laws must apply to ev-
cry city of the same class or they are

for the week ended the 10th says: In
the eastern division corn and potatoes
are clean and make a fine appearance
IN the field. The corn has grown very
rapidly. Oats and fax are much im-
proved and are in bloom. Wheat har-
vest is well along in the southern coun-
ties and is beginning in the central;
while the straw is short and thin
stand. the berry is reported generally
very good except in Wilson, where it
was much injured by the bugs Fruits
Of all kinds are very good.
In the western division the great
rains have brought forward the grow
ing crops, put the ground in fine con-
dition for blowing and working and
given an abundance of stock water.
The growing corn is in fine condition
and much more is being planted. Grass,
gardens, potatoes and fruits greatly
improved. Small grains improving.
The fine rains in the middle division
are bringing the crops rapidly for
ward. Wheat harvest has begun in
the southern counties. while further

TOPEKA, Kan, June 13.-The rail.
road attorneys of Kansas have notified
the state board of railroad commission
ers that the companies will not COM
ply with the-faw enacted by the legis-
lature last winter, limiting the charge
for the transportation of the Kansas
national guard to 1 cent per mile per
man and 1 cent per mile per ton for
baggage and supplies. 1t is claimed
that the law is unconstitutional
for two reasons = because by
decisons of the United States
supreme court railroads cannot be re-
quirsd to perform service for less
than the cost of such service, it being
declared that the actual cost of trans
porting a passenger is more than q
cents per mile, and because of the pro-
vision that the penalty for violating
such law shall go to the state militia
fund, which is unconstitutional, be-
cause the constitution provides that
all penalties shall go to the school
fund.

Collapse of the Little NapoIeOn's Press-

Gov. Mckinley will display wonder
full recuperative powers If he RECEIVERS
from the stunning blow he received AZ
the Ohio state republican convention
He measured his fsctionH strength
with that OF the fiery Foraker and was
ignominiously defeated. The governor
had behind him the whole power OF the
administration machine. Every state
oficeholder was hustling in the interest
of his chief and under his dlrectlon-
Sherman was enlisted in the cause and
made chairman of the convention. me
controlling power in the state central
committee was for Mckinley and man
aged the entire work of organization
An appeal was made 20 the pride OF
the state, for if Gen. Bushnell, who
was the Foraker candidate. should be
nominated it would indicate 3 fatal
weakness on the part of the little ma
jor in his own state, divide the Ohio
delegation to the next national con-
vention and render his nomination to
the presidency next to an impossibiEty-
So confident was the Mckinley con-
tingent that it defed Foraker to be
present at the convention and make
the fight for his candidate. Foraker
was there, he made the fight and his
onslaught was simply irresistible. With
a complete change from his usual tao
tics, he did his work silently and left
the brass band tactics to the opposi-
ton. When it came to a trial OF
strength the McKinleyites found them
selves hopelessly outnumbered and de-
moralized. They resorted to every
known political device for attracting
recruits from the Foraker ranks, but
were met with solid front which
they could not break The would-be
president and his henchmen were rout-
ed horse, foot and dragons. Though
it was not expected that a nomination
would be made before Wednesday
morning, Bushnell was named for gov
ernor Tuesday night, and the Foraker
men had their own way to the very
tail of the ticket.
In view of the fight that had been
made prior to the convention and the
recognized fact that Mckinley was
building for the future, his presidential
boom has suffered at least temporary
collapse. There is no way apparent at
present by which he can heal the bit
terness of feeling that has been en-
gendered. He made mistake when
he called Sherman in as an ally, for il
only intensified the opposition of Fora
ker. To placate the latter is a most
difficult and delicate task. The feud
is one of long standing, and Foraker
has been the chief sufferer. He is a
fighter who never recognizes that he
has been whipped, and has phenom-
email memory of the political grudges
which it is his disposition to pay of.
Mckinley kept Foraker out of the
United States senate and the prospect
is that Foraker will keep Mckinley out
OF presidential nomination.-Detro

Harris and others interested refused to

Kinley had made the date at Ottawa a
year ago and they insisted that lie
should keep it. After numerous tele-
grams between Dick and Mckinley,
the governor finally wired that he
would come to Kansas in preference to
