WATER PLANT USELESS.
Investigation of Deaf and Dumb AsX-
1um Shows Water Plant in
BAD Shane.

The senate committee, composed of
Senators Householder, Farreley, Cooke,

alton made by the last legislature for
the establishment of a waterwOrkS

bers of the state board of charities and
the city attorney of Olathe in this city
next Wednesday afternoon. The COM
mittee visited the deaf and dumb asy-
lum Saturday, and inspected the condi-
ton of the plant. II was found that
earthen pipes had been used in con-
structing the water main instead of
iron pipe for a distance of over mile,
and that in its present condition the
plant was useless.
After the hearing Wednesday after
noon, the committee will make report
to the senate.

S5O,OOO,OOO MORE.
Revenue and Reciprocity the
Chief Features of the New
Tariff Bill.

washington, Feb. 8.-2Reciprocity and
$50. OO0, 900 more annual revenue are the
principal features of the new Republi-
can tariff bill.
The Dingley measure is not a dupli-
cate of the Mckinley bill, some of the
schedules of the Wilson bill being re-
tanned
The bill is not completed yet, and will
not be during this session of congress.
The Republican members of the COM
mittee are sitting every day, and will
pursue the same policy after March l.
If the measure is completed in time to
present Immediately after the organiza-
ton of the next house, Chairman Ding
ley will be satisfied The bill itself, so
far as progress has been made. shows
the change in Republican sentiment.
The reciprocity paragraphs of the
Mckinley law will appear intact in the
new bill. To them will be added re-
ciprocity feature on the spirits and
trade of Germany and France.
The details of reciprocity are yet to be
agreed upon. but the machinery will be
in the lowering of reciprocal duties.
The free list of the present law is be-
ing cut down with great rapidity- In
this respect the resemblance to the Nc
Kinley law will be striking. One of the
most important removals from the list
already made is that of salt. Tin plate
will have a standing in the new bill,
too, though the iron and steel schedule
has not been touched yet to any great
extent.
Every schedule in the bill has been
discussed at least in part, but not one
of them can be called finished. In each
one there is something to be still
aightened out.
The rate on kaolin, in the glass and
earthenware schedule, has been placed
at the old Mckinley figure, but there
the Legislators have come to halt.
They cannot agree on the rates for Chi
ma and earthenware. The raw mud is
easily disposed of, but the manufacture
ed article is a poser.
The farmer is to be taken care of this
time so the agricultural schedule has
received particular attention. A tax is
laid on everything the farmer grows,
but the cattle men of the west can i'm
port Mexican cattle to their hearts con-
tent at half the prices Major McKin-
ley charged.
Woods, cottons and silks are still in
the balance There is where the rub
comes, and there is where the specific
duties must come in. For it is a notice
q BILE feature of this new bill that so far
ad Valorem duties predominant.
The administrative part of the new
law will differ greatly from the present
This has been made necessary by the
change, in some instances at least, from
an ad valorem to a specific basis.
The committee has been working in
secret. 1t has hidden itself away. Rep
resentatives of various interests have
schedules in which they are interested.
The committee has no intention of
touching internal revenue taxation in
connection with the new bill. This is
following Speaker Reeds view of the
situation, and will be adhered to.

Clicks friends most likely will organ

where the fight will end no man can
tell The silver wing of the Democ-
racy will hardly make up with the
Perry Hagan faction, because of the
prejudices of last fall and the ousting
of Click, and the Republicans likely
will have nothing further to do with
it because it has brought about the abo-
Iition of the Topeka pension agency.
The faction is, therefore, somewhat iso-

are seeking only to get even, they prob
ably will be satisfied with the result of
their labors, regardless of the future

Though much of the island is COM

Order Issued For the Removal
OF Topeka Pension Agency
From This City to st. Louis
September l.
IS LAID TO THE DOOF
Of Secretary Francis Who
ssWanted to Show His Power. ;"
Cy Leland Says the Order Will
Be Revoked

Washington. Feb. S.-Secretary Fran
els has given Kansas a blow. His plan
to abolish the pension agency at Topeka
and locate it at St. Louis has been APP
proved by the president. 1t also abol-
ishes eight other pension agencies 1t
will go into effect, September 1. The eff
feet Of the new move will be felt By
Kansas politicians.
1t is a shrewd move on the part of the
secretary of the interior to give Missouri
a big federal place which may be useful
in the future BY this order Kansas
loses one of the best federal positions,
but Secretary Francis estimates it Will
save the government $15O,OO0 per an
mum.
The change was made possible by an
amendment to the law governing the
disbursing of pensions, which amend
ment was approved March %, 1896 1t
required that all pensioners should, aft
er that date, be paid by checks remit
ted by mail. Reports from the pension
agencies. in reply to inquiries as to the
operation of the new law, were to the
effect that under this plan the pension
ers are maid much more promptly; that
possibility of error is minimiZed, and
that upon the whole it is much more
satisfactory to the pensioners than the
former law.
The consolidation was made by unit
ing existing agencies and the entire jur-
iSdictiOn thereof in order that eX-
penSe SnOuIQ De incurred by the making
of new rolls. The agencies at Concord,
n. H, and Augusta, Me. are discontin-
ued, and payments hitherto made there
are ordered made from the agency at
Boston, Mass; the pensioners hereto
fore paid at Buffalo, n. Y, are to be
paid from New York city agency; those
at Pittsburg, from the Philadelphia
agency; those at Louisville and Knox

troit from Indianapolis; those at Mil
waukee, from Chicago; those at Des
Moines and Topeka, from. st. Louis,
where a new agency is esta blished.
A new agency is esta blished at st.
Louis because of the better mail facili-
ties there than at Des AIoines or Tope-
ka, and for the further reason that
there is a government building at st.
Louis, which can be occupied without
cost to the government; and there is
also sub-treasury there. The pension
agency was removed from st. Louis to
Topeka in 1882. There are more pen
siOners now in Missouri than in kan
sas. There are in Missouri SO S12 pen
