HE BOLTS CONVENTION
Held Yesterday and Two Sets
of Delegates
To Appear at Congressional
and State Conventions.

LEAvENwoRTH, March 5.-In the
Republican county convention here yes
terday d. r. Anthony and his supporters
about a dozen delegates in all withdrew
from tae regular convention and held
convention of their own in the Office of
the district court.
The regular convention elected dele
gates to the congressional convention
who are instructed to vote as a unit for
Case Broderick for congress.
The delegates to the state convention
are for Cy Leland for delegate at large
to the national convention.
d. r. Anthony charged that there was
fraud in the primaries, and that therefore
he was entitled to be heard in the regu-
lar convention.
When the convention was called to
order, and a temporary chairman had
been chosen, w. Y. HOOK moved that a
committee of seven be appointed on Gre
dentials. Anthony jumped to his feet,
saying that he recognized the fact that
he had no right 10 speak in the conVen-
tion until tue question of who was entl-
tied to a seat was settled. but until that
was done he lad as much right TO speak
as Hook.
The chair told Anthony he could not
permit him to speak unless the conven-
ton gave its consent.
During a Iull, while the chair was
speaking to some one near, Anthony TOOK
the pavel from his hand and began
pounding for order. When Chairman
Blakelev recovered from his surprise and
the breach of etiquette on the part of
Anthony, he took the gavei from An
thouv's hands. This again brought
storm of cheers from the convention
Delegates cried, "Vote," "Vote," and the
motion was carried The chair appoint
ed three member from the city aud four
from the country. Anthony talked aUous
the God given right as an American cltl-
zen to express his opinion In a hepuDll-
can convention, but he was finally cried
down, after a torrent of abuse upon MS
enemies.
Atone time the convention became SO
uoisv the sheriff and his deputies had TO
be called in and the chair threatened to
clear the galleries unless-order was main
tanned.
Col. Anthony contested the right of 81
out of 60 Hook delegates to hold seats in
the convention on the ground that they
were elected by Democratic votes.
The committee on credentials reported
in favor of the Hook delegates and the
chairman denied Col. Anthony the right
to the floor.
When Col. Anthony was refused the
privileges of the floor he mounted the
reporters table and shouted: "By the
gods will be heard, if it takes till mid
night"
Great shouts went up from the big
crowd outside the railing. After Anthony
had got we'll started he was listened TO In
quiet
He made bitter denunciatory speech
of the way in which the primaries had
been held and asked his delegates to
adjourn to another hall and elect dele
gates to the congressional and state con-
ventions.
Col. Anthony's convention elected a
separate set of delegates to both the con-
pressionaI and state conventions.

was most intense excitement in this city
last night when news was received of
the burning of the American flag by the

The Irish Americans and hundreds of
others quickly assembled in front of the
Herald Democrat office. There was some
difficulty in securing flag of Spain. but
finally one was discovered in the stock
of dry goods merchant, and the crowd
quickly found kindling wood and the
EN- blem of the naughty Castillian was
laid upon it. With a mighty cheer the
wood was ignited, and while the crowd
sang America and "Colum bia" the flag
of Spain was consumed to ashes.

KANSAS U. s. ATTORNEYS SALARY


To BE Made just $4,000 Year by the
New Fee Bill.
From the State Journals Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The provision
inserted in the Legislative appropriation
bill by the house abolishing the fee sys-
lem as comprshended in the offices of
United States marshals and attorneys
cuts the salaries of these officers in Kan
sas considerably. The bill prescribes
the salary of the United States attorney
for the district of Kansas as $4,000 year
and that of the United States marshal as
$4,000.
Under the present fee system the mar
shaIs and attorneys are allowed the fees
they earn up TO a maximum of $1,000
year, all over and above that going into
the United States treasury.
The attorneys are allowed to appoint
jointly with the district Judge one or
more assistant attorneys when the public
service may demand it. The assistant
attorneys are to receive such salaries as
the attorney general may from time to
time determine, provided that they do
not exceed S2,5OO year.
United States marshals are allowed to
appoint deputies when required who
shall receive tbree-Quarters of the fees
they earn provided they do not exceed
So, 800 year.
Marshals are prevented in another
way from fattening their salaries by
abolishing the mileage feature of the ex-
isting law. Marshals are allowed when
attending to their duties only actual ex-
Dense Accounts of these expenses are
10 be made out quarterly.
The salary feature is expected to save
the government at least $2O0,000 a year.
Judge Broderick of Kansas member
of the judiciary committee which
reported the bill TO abolish the fee sys-
tenn, in speaking of it, said: "The bill
will result in a great saving to the gov
ernment The feature is good one and
has been brought forward several times
before, but there has been such storm
of opposition from the office holders that
il was never passed.
"The reason that United States clerks
have not also been put upon salaries is
because the thing has to be accomplished
gradually. The clerks would make and
have threatened to make such bitter fight
on it as to endanger the bills passage.

MIR. MILLER SAYS THEY'RE EVEN
Kansas Divided tho Question of Two
Federal DISTRICTS.

Federal Districts.
From the State Journals Special CORES pondent
WASHINGTON, March 5.-Congressmau
Miller says the sentiment of the people
of Kansas so far as it has been expressed
to him, seems to be about a standoff as
regards the bill to divide Kansas into two
United States judicial districts. Some
are strongly in favor of it, he says, par
ticularly those in the southern part of
the state, but on the other hand, in other
sections there is strong opposition.
Mr. Miller believes there is a great
deal of reason in the opposition to the
scheme, because it would make another
Democratic judge for life. There are
already enough Democratic judges he
says.

SENATORS MAKE a MISTAKE


In Curtailing the Irrigation ApPrOPria-
Fromthe State Journals Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The item of
$4,000 for the bureau of irrigation in
quiry which Congressman Long got in
serted in the agricultural appropriation
bill in the house has been cut to $4,000
by the senate committee. The senators
have got il into their heads in some way
that the appropriation is desired by
Secretary Morton which ia just the op-
posite of the truth. But having this err
roneous idea they are so anxious to spite
Secretary Morton that they lose sight of
worthy appropriation.
This was the feeling in the senate COM
mittee but when.the matter comes before
the senate the erroneous impression may
be removed and the item restored to $15,-
900 as sent from the house. Congressman
Long is working to this end among the
senators.
Mr.. Long regrets to see the powers of
this irrigation bureau curtailed for he
says it will grow in value continually if
kept up.
With interested men at the head of it
there will be a constant increase of the
benefit to western people in the irrigated
and to be irrigated sections.
For this reason he will make strong
fight against any cutting down of the ap-
preparation. He did we'll, however, to
secure the insertion of the item at all
against the recommendation of the house
committee. and even if the appropriation
remains at $4,000 it is victory.
