NIX. DUDLEY TAKES $4,000
A Topeka Banker Gets a Part of the
Gold Bonds.

Gold Bonds.
In the list of the successful bidders for
the new $100.OOO,OOO 4 per cent thirty
year government bonds which has Just
been given out, there are three Kansas
purchasers.
The largest Kansas purchase was made
by Mr. Guilford Dudley of Topeka, who
took $4,000 and his bid is quoted in
the list at Ill although Mr.. Dudley
said to a STATE JOURNAL reporter
this afternoon that his bid was 1111%.
Mr.. Dudley says he has not yet re-
ceived an official notification of his bid
being successful and says there was a
contingency connected with his bid
which now causes him to doubt whether
he will receive an official notification.
The premium OH these bonds is already
advancing and on Saturday 116 was
offered for them in New York so that if
Mr. Dudley would sell today he would
have made at least 5000 on his purchase
The Morgaus' bid for the bonds was
11O and fraction, and that firm was to
have all the issue at that figure after
the higher bidders had been supplied.
The list of western purchasers of bonds
shows that some of them bid as high as
115 and 116. The other two Kansas
purchasers were the Bank of Commerce.
Chanute, $1,000 at 115 and Eugene Dav-
is, Spring Hill, 800 at 113

Frederick NJ. Lockwood, Jules S. Bache
and William E. Hutton, appointed to
reorganize the Distilling and Cattle
Feeding company, have completed
their plan. In the progress of re-
organization 1t was suggested to the
committee that the new corporation
should control the distribution of its
products through a distributing com
pany. The successor company, the
American Spirits company, accepts the
suggestion. Opportunity is offered its
stockholders or holders of whisky
trust certificates to subscribe at par
for the first preferred stock of the
spirits distributing company which has
been organized under the New Jersey
laws with a capital OF 81, 1850 600, Of

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE house
committee on territories held a warm
session today over the bills to admit
Arizona and New Mexico into the
Union. For several weeks it has been
apparent that there was a disposition
among some of the opponents Of free
silver on the committee to postpone IA
vorable reports on those bills, at least
for the present. to prevent the increase
of the free silver strength in the SEN
ate. Today the fight eliminated, when,
while the bill to admit Arizona was
under discussion, the committee voted,
to 5, to adjourn.
1t was enormously reported about the
house today that the vote was taken
on the Arizona bills, and that the bill
itself had been defeated. Although as
stated, the opponents Of free silver
were responsible for the postponement
of action of the bill, all opponents of
free coinage on the committee were not
in favor of deferring action. Mr..
Scranton of Pennsylvania, the chair
man; Mr.. Perkins of Iowa (Rep0, and
Mr.. Turner Dem, Va.), who voted
against the motion to adjourn, are also
opposed to free coinage.
Those who voted to adjourn were
Hadley (Rep., lid. Knox CRep.. Mass.),
Taft Rep., Ohio, Lowe (Rep., N. ",
Harrison Dem, Ala) and Owens
Dem, Ky.). Messrs. Avery (Rep.,
Mich.) and Cooper Oem., Texas voted
against adjournment, in addition to
those named. Messrs. Harris (Rep.,
Ohio) and Lefevre (Rep., Ohio) were
absent.
Both the latter are anti-silver men.
1t is therefore apparent the test Of
strength today indicates the committee
is opposed, at least for the present, to
reporting these statehood bills. 1t is
claimed both the absentees are also
in favor of deferring action, but Mr..
Murphy, the Arizona delegate, denied
this. AS the bill itself has not been
defeated in committee, the vote can be
taken whenever the advocates of the
bill are able to muster a majority.

KISSING.

An English journal prints the follow
ing: "A very disagreeable habit of the
king of Portugal is that he kisses his
male friends. The princes Of our
reigning house all do this, and Of
course it is common enough abroad:
but, thank heaven, so far this nasty
looking (no matter how really inno-
cent? habit has never become fashion
able in this country. It is of course
all mere question of etiquette, but
let US fervently pray that Englishmen
when they meet with or part from their
friends will never get to think it the
correct thing to kiss one another. Eli
quette in parting varies all over the
world. In America the men shake
hands and the women kiss one an
other and sometimes cry, for the
American ladies are champion weep
lists. In France and in Italy even more
the woman weep, while the men kiss
and hug one another almost vigorously
as If they were in a wrestling match.
An English woman shakes hands with
a man of her acquaintance, while in
Spain she always gives her hand to
be kissed. 1t makes the same senSa-
ton in Madrid for a man to take a,
woman's hand and shake it as it
would in London for a foreigner to
seize a lads hand and kiss it,

BERING SEA SEIZURES.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.-The conten-
ton between the government of the Unit
ed States and that OF Great BRIAN Tor
arbitration of the claims for damages
made on account Of the Boring sea. seal
ing vessel seizures, was revived by the
senate in executive session yesterday and
was considered by the committee on for
eign relations today. The treaty IS
brief document signed by Secretary Olney,
on the part of the United States, and by
Sir Julian Pauncefote for Great Britain.
1t provides for the reference of the claims
to two commissioners, one to be ap-
pointed by the United States and the
other by Great Britain. who in case of a
failure to agree, are to be authorized to
select a third commissioner. If not able
to agree upon a man for this Office, the
matter is to be referred to the presi-
dent of the Swiss republic, with the re-
quest that he name the third man, which
he has consented to do. The agreement
is made in conformity with the Paris ar
bitration and its findings are made
obligatory upon both governments. AS
submitted, the treaty only provides for
the payment of damages by the United
States for vessels engaged in seal
catching belonging to citizens of Great
Britain burt a disposition has already
manifested itself in the committee to
amend it SO as to provide also for the
arbitration of claims which may arise on
the part of the citizens of the United
States for seizures of American vessels
made by Great Britain and the probabili-
ties are that such an amendment Will be
made in commute
Senator Morgan talked at length to
the committee today explaining the origin
of these claims and going into the find
ings Of the Paris tribunal as well as the
efforts to have the claims settled during
the last congress by the payment of a
lump sum, which he opposed at that time
The committee adjourned without taking
any action, but the indications are that
with the change making the findings Of
the commission mutual as between the
two countries, the committee will recon-
mend the ratification Of the treaty.

can be characterized in one word,
cuckoo"
At IL o'clock the regular order of the
house session began. The chaplain in
his prayer referred to the fact that this
was Lincoln's birthday.
Mr. Cannon Rep.) ILL.,, presented a
senate az Joint resolution appropriating
$4,000 for the purpose of making joint
survey together with Great Britain of
the boundary line between Alaska and
British territory. The resolution was
adopted.
BOND BILL.
The house then resumed consideration
of the bond silver bill.
Mr.. Dolliver (Rep.) Iowa, took the floor
in opposition to the free coinage PROPOSE
ton. He reviewed the history of the sub
Ject from the fourteenth century, and
said that the decentralization of silver in
1873 had not struck it down. for during
a previous period Of seventy years, there
had been no silver circulation. Free
coinage had at all times proved q failure.
He would rather stand where he was than
to jump without knowing where he was
to fall, upon solid ground or into bot
tomless Dit.
He denied that any country where free
coinage was practiced had ever enjoyed
the circulation Of both gold and silver
at the same time. There never was a
time when a dollar stood for so much and
dollar for SO little as at present.
Mr.. Mcmillan Dem.) Tenn, followed.
He said there was an insufficient cur
rencY and that we should not wait for
the cooperation of any foreign country
before taking steps to improve our finan-
cial affairs. He was not for monometa1-
ism or anything of the sort, he desired
the use of both metals. The theory that
the amount of currency in circulation
did not affect prices was unfounded.
Mr.. Brosius (Rep.) Pa, opposed free
coinage.
MIR. Bailey Dem. Texas sought to
prove that gold had appreciated within
the last twenty years, saying that if this
was true the opponents Of silver would
have nothing to stand on as the
basis of their contention was that gold
was stable. He had no especial prefer
that which was most stable.
Mr.. McCleary (Rep., Minn) said he
would endeaVor to arrest the statements
made by his colleague Mr.. ToWne. He
used the maps employed by Mr.. Towne
last week and said that they did not bear
league.
At $50 p. M. a recess was taken until
s o'clock this evening, the session to be
devoted to debate.
The last night OF the general debate IN
the bill was more poorly attended, tnan
were almost empty and there were but
seven members on the floor. Mr..
Bingham Gre, Pa.) in opposition to the
senate free coinage substitute predicted
another S10o.OOO,00O bond issue unless
some legislation was enacted covering
only two other speakers, Wood Rep.,
Ill and Gardner (Rep., n. j. were
against the senate substitute.
At o'clock, for want Of more speak
erS, the house took a recess until 1870
tomorrow morning.

BRIEF TELEGRAMS.

A dispatch to the London Times from
a bill to repress anarchiSm.
The London Standard announces that
Sir John Millais will succeed the late
Lord Leighton as president Of the Royal
academy.
The London Royal academy has elected
as associate members the English ar
list l. Solomon Solomon. and the well
known American artist Edwin A. Abbey,
who has resided in England number of
years.
1t is believed that the accession of Sir
Charles Upper to the ministry will lead
Canada to make some definite offer of
preferential trade with the mother
country. 1t is probable that the United
governments of Australia will make a
similar offer. The recent turn of foreign
affairs especially regarding Germany and
America, has given much popular 1mpe-
tus TO this movement.
The notable feature in Boston commem-
oraltiVe of the birthday anniversary of
Lincoln, was the banquet held at
Youngs hotel last evening by the Mid
dlesex club, at which 200 prominent Re-
Dublicans from all sections of the state
gathered. Congressman Walker was the
principal speaker, and as he was the
commander of the famous Stonewall
brigade after the death of Stonewall
Jackson, his tribute paid to the martyred
president was received with much enthu-
siasm. Other speakers were Hon. Charles
W. Fairbanks of Indiana and Hon. W.
H Eustis of Minnesota. Congressman

POSSIBLE USES.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The posi-
bic uses of the new process of pho
Biography involving the application Of
cathode rays in determining the exist
ence of secret flaws in metals, is now
about to be tested thoroughly at the
Carnegie works, where a large amount
of BalvaI construction is under way.
The proper apparatus has been Sc
cured and experts there are now at
work to demonstrate whether or not
the new rays will penetrate a body of
metal. If this can be done, the impor-
lance of the process can scarcely be
over estimated. 1t will possibly secure
an exact knowledge of the nature Of
the metal Of great guns without run
ming the risk of explosion; defects in
the shafts of ocean steamers can be
discovered before the shafts break and
thereby cause loss of life and property,
and steel castings used for structural
purposes can be accurately tested be-
fore being put in place.

Sulzer Says Congress Cannot Grant
BeIIigerent Rights.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The most
important portions of the Cuban cor
respondence have been printed and will
receive primary consideration at the
meeting of the foreign affairs COM
mittee of the house tomorrow.
The sentiment of the chairman, Mr..
Hit, and other members of the COM
mittee is in favor of a resolution de-
claring it to be the sense of the house
that a state of war exists in Cuba,
and requesting the president to issue
his proclamation according to insur-
gents bellfgerents rights.
Mr.. Sulzer Of New York, who has
given the Cuban situation much con-
sideration, says congress cannot grant
beligerent rights, or at least, that it
has been the universal practice of the
executive to issue proclamations recog-
nizing a state Of war and according to
the revolutionists the rights of belliger-
ents. This was done In the case of
Colombia, Venezuela and Argentine.
''The granting Of belligerent rights"
said he, "only recognizes the existence
Of a state of war, and a state Of war

To Change Their Plans.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE friends of
the tariff bill in the senate have found it
expedient to change their plans some
what, and instead of taking up the tariff
Immediately. viii postpone its considera-
ton until after all the appropriation bills
which have been reported from COM
mittees shall have been disposed of. 1t is
believed these measures will monopolize
the greater part OF the time of the senate
for next week. Other questions will in
tervene so that It now looks as if the de-
bate on the tariff or the silver substitute
will not be had until the week after next
at the earliest
A prominent Republican of the COM
mittee on finance today expressed the
opinion that the silver substitute would
be defeated by at least fifteen majority
He said that rot to exceed four of the
silver Republicans would vote for the
substitute.
With this disposed of, he thinks the
tariff bill will pass with a full Republi-
can vote by the votes of at least three of
the Populist senators.
