TIME OF ADJOURNMENT.
Congress Expects to CLOSE Up It's I
Busin ess in May.

Washington. April 16.-An early ad-
journment of congress is regarded by
the Republican managers as of con
siderable political Importance Their
expectation is that the adjournment
viii occur at even an earlier date than
that commonly suggested There is
believed to be an understanding be-
tween the managers of the house and
the senate appropriations committees
that as soon as matters get in shape
so that it may be done the business
shall be closed out suddenly and an
adjournment be had
Both the speaker and Senator Allison
who more than any others have it in
their power to bring about an adjourn
ment, want the work Of congress clos
ed up as speedily as possible. They
want to make q record for rapid dis
position of routine business, to cut off
the possibility Of indiscriminate leg;is-
latiOn and 10 get their friends out into
the canvass.
Mr.. Reeds friends feel that he has
been greatly hampered in his canvass
for the presidential nomination by rea-
son of his having to accept responsible
ity for the house during the present
congress, and that this handicap Will
be lifted to a considerable extent as
soon as congress adjOurns, particularly
if they can point to the session as the
shortest in the present generation.
The time mentioned among the lead
ers to be aimed at for adjournment is
between the ID and 10th of May If
instructions are not thrown in their
way, they can probably make it within
that time

The suspicion which has long lurked
in the minds Of the people, that the

mission appointed for its enforcement

The latest evidence Of this is found in
the fact that Congressman Curtis bill

the people are anxiously waiting for
something to be done. There is now
little doubt that action in the matter

for congress to do anything with it at
this session. The delay means the loss
OF many thousands Of dollars to Kansas

The gold in the United States treas
ury reached both its highest and lowest
point since the resumption Of specie
payments during the two administra-
lions Of President Cleveland. During
his first term. in September. 1883. there
was in the treasury 1882. 851, 300 the
highest point ever touched. On the
first Of last February it stood at about
SAL 900, 600. The cause of this great diff
ference is not hard to find. During his
first term Mr.. Cleveland inaugurated
a period Of unusual prosperity and act
ivity In business by letting loose from
the treasury holdings a large amount
Of money in exchange for government
bonds. This large increase in the vol
ume Of money in actual circulation
gave an impetus to business which was
felt in the treasury as everywhere else,
and the revenues of the government
reached enormous proportions and were
paid largely in gold. During his pres
ent administration the president has
pursued exactly the opposite course and
has used every means he could COM
mand to contract the currency. Not
content with stopping the coinage of
silver. he has resorted to Issuing bonds
for the purpose Of drawing the cur
rency into the treasury and holding it
there lntil now there is nearly $780,
900. 600 of net cash against which there
is no demand, so held. Could any bet
ter lessons be afforded of the effect OF
manipulating the money supply?

The syracuse Republican says:


The syracuse Republican says.
If Governor Morrill, insists op his
rule or ruin policy every loyal Re
publican should drop him cold. The
success Of the party is paramount to
any mans ambition and the man who
has the audacity TO give utterance to
such an expression as that attributed
to the governor when asked by his best
friends to decline a denomination. He
fatty refused, and said the Republican
party must either win or lose this
year on his record. we are very sure
TT cannot win on his record, therefore
the party must go down, according to
his declaration, in a hopeless attempt
to cover up his mistakes. The governor
must know his case is helpless when
not a daily paper in the state is sup
porting him and large proportion Of
the weeklies are either IN open hostil-
ity to his denomination or are secretly
planning to induce him to withdraw
from the race 1t is asserted that the
state central committee is favorable
to his nomination and contemplate put
ting off the state convention until late
in the season hoping by that means
to be able to counterfeit the sentiment
against him which so largely controls
the party Of the state at the present
time

A MISS NANCY SCHOOL.

Chicago University Again Makes It
self Ridiculous Through Its Faculty.
Chicago. April 15.-Division of opin-
ion and not a little feeling has been
aroused among the students of Chicago
university, by the direction of the fac
atty in barring Eugene V. Debs from
speaking before the students at some
time during the next quaEter. At a
meeting of the OratOrical association it
was agreed to invite the labor leader.
When the members of the faculty
were apprised of the intended invita-
ton they sent out for the representa-
tives of the association and firmly de-
manded that no such invitation should
be issued They declared Mr.. Debs
belonged to dangerous element, and
his appearance at the university with
the sanction of the faculty would en-
danger the standing Of the institution
among the orthodox.
The OratOrical association is disposed
to resent the position which the facul-
ty has taken.

It is reported that some Of the eoun-
ties in southwestern Kansas propose
to avoid the payment of bonds voted
in boom times by refusing to levy any
taxes. The people who voted for the
bonds are probably nearly all gone else

away TO hold the bag" and they do
not want to hold it. AS long as east

debt-burdened people OF the west to
escape the loss Of their homes The
worm IS beglnning to turn.

Twenty-seven New Members Join at
Leavenworth.

Leavenworth, April 16-At the last
meeting of the board of directors of
the Y NJ. c. A. all the members were
present.
The association, it was declared, was
never in a better position to do good
work than now if the necessary dnan-

which has been resting for some time
will now be pushed to completion.
The board extended a unanimous in
vitatiOn for the next convention to be
held in October, which was accepted
by the state committee. Leavenworth
and Wichita were rivals for the con
ventiOn, with Leavenworth victorious
as usual.
Twenty-seven members were voted

Algie Tuck. the white man who fatally

Idgon's saw-mill, on the 18th of this
month. was brought here on Saturday
and lodged in jail. Yesterday he was
brought before Judge Homes, OF the
County Court, and Application made,
through his counsel. for bail, which the
Court granted. and fixed his bond at
500 Tor ms appearance at the April term
OF the court.
The difficulty originated. as appeared
application for bail was made, when
John Tuck. the slam man, went 70 the
house OF Agie Tuck, where there was "A
gathering Of neighbOrs and after getting
there became too familiar IN his man
ner towards Alglc's wife Al this both
Algie and his wife became offended and
demonstrated with John, and finally or
dered him 10 desist.
John became eniaged and went ont into
the yard and there denounced Algie in
very strong terms. Algic opened the
door. and as be did so John is said 10
have seized him and dragged him out. and
commenced 10 assault him, and y was
then that Algie gave him the fatal stab
in the stomach. from which he died In
ten minutes.
John is said to have been a larger
man than Algie. The latter H. small. and
looks pale and thin. lie has been married
only Il short time.
our court was thinly attended yester-
day The day was bleak and cold. There
were several droves Of horses here. but
