From Our Special Correspondents
Washington May 1.-THE time has
arrived in this session of congress when
no more legislation viii be secured be-
sides that which is wen under way,
except a few private pension bills and
small matters of that character. In
summing up what Kansas has secured
from this congress one finds the fol-
lowing:
The only direct appropriation made
for Kansas outside OF the regular APP
propriatiOns for the national soldiers
home at LeaVenWorth and the forts at
Ieavenworth and Fort Riley was the
SO 600 for additional buildings at Fort
Riley which was secured by RepreSen-
tative Calderhead and Senator PETER
Atchison and Leavenworth are named
in the river and harbor bill as points
at which part of the $500. 900 apprOpria-
ted for the Improvement of the Missouri
river may be expended, in the discre-
ton of the commission
The insertion of this item was Sc
cured by Representative Broderick and
Senator Baker
In the river and harbor bill is also
paragraph directing the secretary of
war to make a preliminary survey Of
the portion Of the Neosho river be-
tween the north line Of Neosho county
and the south line of Labette with
view to prevent its overflow. This was
put in at the instance Of Representative
Kirkpatrick
The s74. 500 in the sundry civil bill aid
ing irrigation by determining the water
supply in the arid and semiarid regions
is of direct and indirect advantage to
western Kansas. Representative Long
was very active and efficient in secur-
ing the increase of appropriation for
these purposes.
The general deficiency carries $1,000
to pay David Overmyer Of Topeka. for
services as master in the Black Bob
cases. So. 600 for f. r. Ogg of Olathe for
services in the same case a proposition
10 pay Eugene Hagan Of Topeka, $4,000
for services as master in the suit Of
the United States against the Leaven-
worth Coal company if the company
would guarantee the other $1,000 Of the
s. GOO claimed.
In the line of favorable reports Rep
resentative Curtis reported the Fort
Hays reservat ton bill from the public
lands committee the first thing this
session so that it stands first on the
house calendar. Mr.. Curtis also Sc
cured a favorable report on his bill to
expend $4,000 in charging the post
Office building at Topeka and it stands
at the head of the list of bills reported
by the committee on public buildings
and grounds.
Mr.. Long also got a favorable report
on his bill to give the abandoned Fort
Dodge reservation to the state of kan
sas for an addition to the grounds of
the state soldiers home at Dodge City
Besides these more important meas
ures the Kansas congressman have
each secured the passage of a number
of private pension bills as well as
other bills Of a local or minor nature.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1896-05-11

are regarded as heretical views. The
opposition to his statements is all the
more energetic because he is teaching
the theological students at the Baptist
seminary the same thing.
1t is expected that when the trustees
Of the seminary hold them annual meet
ing in Chattanooga the subject viii be
brought up and Dr.. Whitsitt may be
taken severely to task for his utterances.
DR.. Whitsitt has had an interesting
career. He was born near Nashville in
1841 He was graduated from Union
university in 1851. The same year he
entered the Confederate army as a pri-
vate and was soon afterward promoted
to a chaplaincy, in which position he
served until the close Of the war. He
was twice captured and confined in mil
itary prisons for about year. In 1865
he entered the University Of Virginia
and studied for two years in the South
ern Baptist Theological seminary. He
also spent two years in study in Berlin
and Leipsic. On his return to America
in 1872 he accepted pastorate in Al
bany, Ca, and soon after became a
member Of the faculty Of the seminary
as professor Of Biblical Introduction and
ecclesiastical history. On the death Of
Dr.. Br0adus he became president

ut is evidently too late to do the peo-
Die any good. I shall send out seven
mail bags 81 them ait once. however,
and get them to the people just as soon
as possible. The packages are so put
up that we can't tell what is inside of
them without opening them and exam
ming the smaller packages It would
take at least ten days to 80 over them
all and see what was inside of the
larger packets so that each person
might get just what he asked for. I
have considered fl Of more Importance
to get the seeds out early than to un-
dertake the WeIlnigh impossible task of
going over the entire quota to see that
each applicant got the seeds that ne
desired
Fl regret very much that the prefer
ences Of each person can not be re-
garded. but TO do so would put back
the delivery Of the seeds SO long as to
make them va1ueless for use this sea-
son. have concluded therefore to
send them out ia packages just as they
come from the department, believing
that the people who are disappointed in
not receiving the varieties which they
desired win remember that it is not the
fault Of their congressman but Of the
bungling methods of the agricultural
department.
s.If / attempted to correct the din
Guilty by sending two packages to a
person the probability is that I should
only be duplicating. and no benefit
would result.
The secretary has delayed the de-
livery Of the seeds to congressman un-
til the whole issue is practically a
wa ste of money

DIsTILLERIEs no CLOSE.
All the Trust Houses to Shut Down
Early in July.

Peoria. May 1.-THE distilling bust
ness is rapidly drawing to a close in
this section and it viii be but a few
weeks until nearly all the local plants
have suspended operations for a few
months at least. The houses have been
running at their utmost capacity for
some months. even though trade was
slightly dull.
This heavy run has been on account
of the cheapness of corn. All the ware
houses have been filed with goods, and
ii is estimated that there are now
stored in the warehouses so, 600 barrels
of spirits and alcohol, on which the
tax to the government viii amount to
$685. 600. All the American Spirits

closed early in June after the shipment
of the cattle. Probably the only house
to run here during the summer VIII be
that of the Atlas, an independent dis
tillery which has never closed since
the commencement Of operations near
~ two years ago.

A DOG .DRUMMER.. ,,
Beau BrummeH of Topeka on the
Road as q Drummer.

1sOaQ as q drummer.
Topeka has a drummer who does not
hirt with the pretty girl walters in the
country hotels. though he does not
carry his wife's picture with him as
safeguard
This drummer does not belong to the
u c. T. and he does not growl-that is
at the hotel fare or the unreasonable
railroad time tables. Instead he banks
with delight (for he is a dog) when
the bus backs up TO his hotel, and eats
without comment from the dish set be-
fore him.
Beau Brummell Of Highland Ken
nels. is the drummer referred to, and
he returned yesterday from a three
weeks trip over northwestern Kansas
where he has been assisting Mr. VII
liam Chappeu on in advertising and
selling q line Of perfumes.
Beau is dressed up in a blanket, and
parades the streets in each town with
placards fastened to this blanket ad-
vertsing the perfume house which Mr.
OF represents.
Yesterday when Beau BrummeU re-
turned for a few days rest Mr. H L.
Robinson, his owner met him at the
train. The dog jumped up with his
feet on Mr.. RObinsOn's shoulders in
glad greeting while all the medals he
wore jing1ed and the ribbons about his
neck duttered In the breeze.

BLUE roo ECONOMICAL.
Cuts the Pension Appropriations Be
low Even Hoke Smiths Estimate.

low Even Hoke Smiths Estimate.
From Our Special Correspondent
Washington, May IA good story
is being told on Congressman Blue and
his laughable efforts at shaping lagis-
lation when he first became a member
of the appropriations committee 1T is
a little late in getting out but it is
worth repetition even at this late date.
Mr.. Blue was a member of the sub
committee on the pension appropria-
tion of which Mr.. w. A. Stone of Penn
sylvania was chairman. Mr.. Blue was
given charge of the preparation Of the
bills because he wanted to make
reputation on pensinOs and because the
work of preparing the pension appro-
priation was almost a matter Of form
and required no knowledge above the
most ordinary. and the members of the
committee thought he could do no
haFm
But they were mistaken for when
Blue brought in his estimates for the
appropriations for pensions he had cut
the total amount not only below the
sum named in the estimates of Hoke
Smith, the man who is so universally
detested by the old soldiers for his un-
friendly manner OF dealing with them
but also several millions below what
had been appropriated by the last
Democratic congress The committee
AoWleQ with lau@ inter- and the idea of a.
Republican congress proposing to ex-
pend several millions less for pensions
than a Democratic congress had auth
orized or a Democratic secretary has
estimated so amused old Joe Cannon,
the chairman OF the committee, that he
lay back in his chair and yelled in de-
risiOn- The committee Of course raised
the total appropriation above the es-
Inmates some and reported it carrying
about s142. 900 600.
When AEr- Blues object was In cut

pensions Of old soldiers was no one
knows.

figure in Illinois politics and has gained
a great measure Of popularity in his
party. He is a war veteran, who went
ont with a volunteer Illinois regiment,
and in 1865 he settled in Clay county,
where he became a successful farmer.
Early in his career he took a hand in
local politics. The first Office he held
was that Of sheriff. He was next chosen
county clerk and in 1880 was sent by
the Republicans Of the Fourteenth dis
trict to the state senate. Three years
later President Arthur appointed Mr.
Tanner marshal for the southern dis
trict Of Illinois, and in 1886 he was
elected state treasurer. After serving
