Has Jurisdiction Over the River,

KANSAS CITY, March 24.-The
most important decision handed
down by the court Of appeals from
a public point OF view was that
the state of Missouri has complete
jurisdiction over the Mississippi
and Missouri rivers where these
rivers form the boundary line Of
the state, so that the state would
have jurisdiction over gambling or
illegal whisky selling on a boat
boat in these rivers or any illegal
act done on the river.
Under this ruling the men who
have taken part IN prize fights on
the newly made island above Kan
sas City would be amenable to the
Missouri laws, and the Missouri
officers might interfere and stop
fights there in the future.

AUSTIN, Tex, March. "a Spe-
cial. lover two thousand republic
cans were present today, and ev-
cry train brings new county re-
cruits. A large number of white
delegates are present, but the col
ored population is in the ascend
ancy.
Mckinley has majority of del
egates but very poor leadership.
Without any investigation of
the merits of their case, the Mis-
sion Garden delegates have been
decided against by the executive
committee.
The Reed men have good fol-
lowing, who are fighting Quincy
and Grant, but have no concert of
action and have bad leadership.
Quincy has challenged the field,
and is bulldozing both white and
black Of the negro element.
The convention assemblies at 2
o'clock, and the big fight will be on
temporary organization.
Although Allison is in a small
minority, it looks as IL Quincy
would hurrah the convention and
carry the day.
The Mckinley men as we'll as
the Reed men, are wild with indig.
nation, and while there Is much
harmony talk, 1t now looks like a
general bustup and bolt.
Ex-Governor Hogg and judge
Callaghan are present as lockers
on, enjoying the grand scramble OF
the pie hunters.
At II :40p. m. the executive COM
mittee having resolved itself into
a committee to pass on credentials,
has only reached Dallas county in
alphabetic order, and will hardly
be through before night.
In the meantime the convention
cannot meet, and it is thought no
attempt will be made to have a
I0SeUlOE DriOTe lOHiSDb.
The executive committee de-
cided, on the vote of Chairman
Grant, to recognize all prima-fa-
Gle credentials in the temporary
organization.
From present indications a big
row seems inevitable.
Quincy, with his horde of nergo
following, has thrown down the
gauntlet to Grant and the McKin-
ley men, and says he will fight
them to the end. This throws the
Mckinley and Allison factions in
a directly opposite direction, and
as the Reed men on the executive
committee are angry at the way
they are being cajoled, it is highly
probable that there will be three
candidates for temporary chair
man before the convention.
The Reed men say they are will
ling to make a three cornered
fight, be the consequences what
they may. The matter has now
resolved itself into a position where
all are fighting for position on
the st. Louis delegation.
Quincy and Grant, the Allison
and Mckinley leaders, are hope
lessly estranged and they cannot
be brought together. If the execu-
tive committee recommends man
from any of the three factions for
temporary chairman, the fight will
be precipitated aIonce. Every one
predicts that a split is inevitable,
and are awaiting tonights meet
ing with fear.
