 A stir has been created among the farmers of Kansas by the statements recently made by Secretary Coburn of the State Board of Agriculture concern ing the rapid spread and disastrous ef- fleets of the Russian thistle, which is following the railroad lines and the river courses and is choking out the "The danger is the spread of the pest" says the Kansas City Star, twas so se- rious that an attempt was made to meet it by legislation, and the last Kansas legislature passed an act requiring the railroads to keep their right of way clear of the weed. The railroads report compliance with the law last year, but that the weed has returned this year, and that its destruction is impossi- ble without the cooperation of the far mers." Following up this suggestion, and urging prompt and effectual action the Star says: "To meet this danger the farmers landowners, land workers in every school district and every town ship and every county in northwestern Kansas, the threatened section, must get together, come to mutual under standing and act concertedly. That or ganization is impossible cannot be true, for the Grange and the Farmers Ali ance were organized and it is the same men who composed these organizations who are asked to come together to meet visible, palpable danger to their farms and the agricultural inter- est"

ACTION OF THE SENATE.
A FINANCIAL RLDER ON THE s SUNDRY
CIVIL BILL.
It 10 the Present Ontlook--It VIII Provide
for Either Three Per Cont. Bonds or
Treasury Certifca,es.

WASHINGTN, Feb. u.-To-morrow. be-
ing the regular day for the meeting of the
Senate Finance Committee, when It was
supposed that the Presidents message,
which has been referred to that COM
mittee, would naturally come up for con-
sideradon. the Republican members OF
the committee held conference this af-
ternoon In the room OF Mr. Sherman for
the purpose of outlining the policy they
should pursue. There was "a free en-
change of views, but no conclusion was
reached. One prominent senator. active
I'm the leadership OF his party, said after
the conference was over that the Re
publicans deemed It best TO remain I'm a
receptive condition" pending the action
OF the House and some suggestion that
should come from the Democrats In the
Senate. For this reason, while they were
all agreed that they should assist I'm
reporting any measure along Republican
lines that looked to the maintenance OF
the public credit and the payment of the
current expenses OF the Treasury. they
decided that the initiative should be
taken by those charged with the RESPONSE
bility for the legislation OF this Con-
gress.
The proposition to place some sort OF
a financial rider on the sundry civil bill
was discussed, and the senators present
agreed that IL that was done they would
support It. This s Mr.. Germans idea.
and he has proposed an amendment To
that bill which will provide for either
three per cent. bonds or Treasury certin-
Gates drawing the same rate OF interest
and Will press it TO a vote As this IN m
line with the. Republican idea OF whas
should be done IL would mutually receive
the sanction OF that side OF the chamber
with the exception, possibly, OF the sl-
yer Republicans. 1t is believed, however.
by Mr.. German and Mr.. Allison. that Il
this issue of certificates is expressly
stipulated to bG-used for meeting the cur
rent obligations OF the Treasury. thar
the silver men in both parties, after en-
tering their formal protest against the
Government putting out any more OF its
obligations, would permit the amendment
to prevail.
Nothing will be done tomorrow by the
Finance Committee, for the reason there
viii be no meeting. Mr.. Voorhees,. the
chairman. was indisposed to-day. and did
not put in an appearance at the Capitol.
During the afternoon. however ne saw
some OF his colleagues and, believing
that ehere was nothing OF immediate Inn
poTtduCe DeIoie the committee upon
which IT could likely agree he directed
notices to be sent TO the members in
forming them that the regular meeting OF
tomorrow would not be held. In view
of the urgent recommendations made by
the President. and his appeal for author
Ty to issue a 3 per cent. gold bond within
ten days TO substitute for the loan ne has
just completed, the failure of this COM
mittee to at least consider the message
will doubtless cause some comment about
the Senate end OF the Capitol.

of going on with eleven jurors. It.Was
the best judgment of counsel, with the eX-
ception OF District Attorney Black, that
this could not be done without invalidatlng
the trial. and in his opinion informally
concurred.
The testimony for the Government is
in, and part OF that for the defence. The
trial has been in progress for over two
weeks. Both sides are satisfied with the
present jury, and would go on, If II could
be done legally. 1t was suggested that an
other Juror be selected and permitted 10
read the proceedings up TO date, and make
oath that he had a fair knowledge OF

not be done.
The defence Is still after George NJ.
