KANSAS ALIEN LAW.

II the Present One Is Declared Void a More
Stringent One VIII BE Enacted.
TOPEKA. Kan, Nov. GA promi-
nent populist politician who stands
close to Gov. Leedy and the party lead
ers, said:
If it turns out that the alien land law which
went through both branches of the Kansas
legislature in 1889 and was signed by the gov
ernor was not legally enacted. it will not be long
after the approaching session convenes until a
stringent alien land law will be on the statute
books The recent controversy over the Santa
Fe receiver case. which was instituted under
the 1889 law. has caused the people of Kansas
to thoroughly discuss this measure There
will be little opposition to it, and the pro-
visions of the bill will be closely scrutinized
before it is sent to the governor for signature.
The people of Kansas are not DESTROYS of
Gripping the Santa Fe or other railroad cor
porationS whose stock may be held by foreign
stockholders. but they do want to compel such
men as William Scully and ]. P. Wiser, the
big Canadian distiller, who own large tracts OF
land in Kansas. to divide them up into small
tracts and sell them to farmers who would like
to buy homes in this state. It is estimated
that Scully, the big Irish land owner, is the
possessor of more than 60, 900 of fine lands
in this state.

THE KANSAS VOTE.
Total Nuraber OF Ballots wa. S46,143 and
Bryna's PlurAlity Is 19.169.

Total Nuraber OF Ballots Wa S46,f43 and
BryAn's Plurality Is 13.169.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. e3.-The official
tabulation of the vote of Kansas which
was completed by the secretary of
state and which will be canvassed to-
day shows the following: Total vote
cast, BAG. 143; repu blicans, 159, 541; mid
dle-of-the-road populists. 1889; nation
al prohibitionists, $50; democrats, 1885,
CSC; national democrats, 1,2o9; peoples
party, IS, 154; prohibitionists. 1,72L.
This gives Bryan a plurality over Nc
kinley of IL, 169. The surprise of these
totals is the largeness of the demo-
cratic vote and sma1lness of the peo-
pies party vote Thousands of popu-
lists must have voted the democratic
ticket in order to be sure that they
were voting for the right set of elect
ors, there being two populist tickets
on the ballot Two years ago the dem
ocrats only cast 90, 600 votes in the state.
The total vote cast for governor was
327, 2s9-1s, 900 less than was cast for
president Leedy, populist, received
165, 2oe; Morrill,, republican, 15s, $50;
Duthard, national prohibitionist, z65;
Hurley, prohibition, 2,449; Kepford, in
dependent prohibition, 716; Leedy's

They Claim a Conspiracy,

LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, Nov. 23.-By
the cross-examination of Col Warner,
counsel for Gov. Smith, in the soldiers
home congressional investigation, it
appears that the defense will attempt
to prove that a conspiracy exists be-
tween members and officials of the
home to accomplish the governors re-
moval. The prosecution is making its
fight on the governor chiefly through
the home Kelley cure. and it is en-
deavoring to show that the inmates
are compelled to take the cure or leave
the institution
