WANTS EXTRA SESSION.
Judge sankey of Wichita Urges the
Governor to Call One

Judge R. A. Sankey, of Wichita, who
was in the city yesterday ON business
with the governor, said:
1.-The people of southern and south
western Kansas believe that campaign
pledges should be carried out. Railroad
legislation is one of the most important
demands of the Populist party, and we
must have it. We have great faith in
the wisdom and honor of Governor
Leedy and believe he will call a special
session of the legislature to secure the
enactment of railroad laws. OF course,
he will not call the Legislature together
until the proper time"
Mr.. Sankey called upon the governor
and urged him to call special session
Speaking of the Davis case decision,
Judge Sankey said: Judge Dosters
dissenting opinion blazed the way for
modern, up-to-date logic, and in my
opinion marked the beginning Of a new
era. Having broken the chains of prec-
edent, his opinion indicates that he is
just the man for present conditions

The next appointments to be an
nounced that concern Topeka are those
of register and receiver of the Topeka
land office.
The slate has been made up for some
time. R. B. WEIGH will be appointed
receiver and George w. Fisher, of sol
East Tenth street, will be named for
register according to the present ar
arrangement.
Mr.. Fisher is not we'll known in pOlit-
zeal circles in Topeka, but for eleven
years he was register of the land Office,
and his career was ended by President
Cleveland. The positions pay in the
neighborhood OF $500 per annum, but
they require little of the time of the
officers. There is not much land Office
bushes in the vicinity of Topeka.
If the appointments are made now it
will be necessary to remove Receiver J.

TRYING TO REACH TRUSTS.
a Number of Amendme nts to the Tar
if Bill offered for That Purpose.

Washington, June 16.-The senate
made great stride forward yesterday
by completing the consideration of the
sugar schedule of the tariff bill. except
the provision relating to Hawaii, which
went over. This schedule has been the
storm center of the entire bill. and with
it disposed OF there is a better pros
pect for speedy action on the bill as a
whole
Only one yea and nay vote was taken
during the day on the amendment OF
Mr.. Lindsay Cky.) to make the rate 1.
cents per pound on sugar above No. 16
Dutch standard.
The amendment was defeated, 2-35.
The Pettlgrew amendment relating
to trusts was then taken up and dis
cussed at length.
Mr.. Allison finally tested the sense of
the senate by moving to table the
amendment, which motion prevailed.
Immediately after Senator Petit
crews antitrust amendment was laid
on the table, he gave notice Of another
amendment of the same character in
the shape of a proviso as follows:
That none of the increased rates Of
duty provided for in this act shall ap-
ply to any articles or commodities, the
sale or manufacture of which is con
trolled by trusts in this country.
Senator Chiffon OF Texas also Of
fered an antitrust amendment as fol-
lows:
If any manufacturer, dealer or other
person, knowing that any article or
articles of like character upon which
duties are levied under this act are
manufactured or the sale controlled or
their price affected by a trust or COM
bination, shall send or transmit any
such articles from one state to an
other such manufacture, dealer or con-
troller shall on conviction before any
circuit court of the United States, be
punished by imprisonment not more
than three years.
Senator PascO gave notice Of an
amendment which differs from Senator
Pettigrew's original amendment only in
detail

DEMOCRATS ASK THREE
Next Year They Want David
OYermyer
Congressman at Large
Howard of Elk,
For Associate Justice and n. S. Mar
tin of Marion, for Congress
man From Fourth Dis
trict.

Newton, June 16.-The fusion deal be-
tween the Populist and Democratic par
ties for 1898 is fixed. There has been a
conference and both sides were repre-
scented. The only question is ''Win it
stick?'' Bryan is coming to Kansas and
will hold conferences with his silver
brethren of both parties.
National Democratic Committeeman ].
G. Johnson of Peabody was seen in his
office today by a reporter and in response
to an inquiry concerning fusion between
the Democrats and Populsts in Kansas
in the campaign of 1898 said:
Il believe that there will be a fusion
between the Democrats and Populsts
next year and I am doing all in my power
to aid it. I believe it is the only course
through which we can have success in
Kansas. I was chairman of the commit
tee, which at the Abilene convention
formulated the fusion deal between the
two parties and am not ashamed of it; in
fact, am proud of it. The fusion was
satisfactory and the party was upheld in
it. We obtained all the recognition on
the ticket for which we asked and were
treated all right in the appointments of
Governor Leedy. We will fuse again with
the POpulists next year and we will get
more on the ticket than we did last year;
a portion of the congressman and some of
the state ticket will be given US and We
will put up a strong fight for the ticket.
I always have been a fusionist and am
proud of the fact that I have engineered
nearly every fusion of the two parties.
Il was up to Omaha to see Mr.. Bryan.
who is very close friend of mine. He
Will make two speeches in Kansas this
fall; one at Wichita and one a Peabody.
The Democrats, doubt. will re-nomi>
nate Mr.. Bryan in 1900, and if some OF
Mr.. McKinley's prosperity does not ma
in electing him.
Il have been invited by the Hon. John
c. Sheehan of New York city to address
Tammany hall on July T. and probably
will accept the invitation"
The plan for fusion, outlined in
cent conference between prominent Dem
ocratfc and Populist politicians of this
state is to give the Democrats several po-
sitions on the state and congressional
tickets, as intimated by Mr.. johnson in
his interview. Chief among the pIums
which will fall to the Democrats are these
nominations:
For congressman-at-larg David Over
myer of Topeka.
For associate justice of the state su-
preme court. Judge A. NJ. Howard of Elk.
For congressman from the Fourth dis
trict, H. s Martin of Marion.
The Democrats ask these places in
recognition of their services, past, present
and future.

PETER ON BRYAN.
Says He is in the Midst of the Poiiti-
cal Storm Center.

Editor PETER in the Advocate, COM
menting upon the question: will it be
Bryan in 19O0?'' says:
The defeat of Mr. Bryan last year
was in its effects a victory In the
first place, it was a victory over Cleve-
landism in the Democratic party It
had the effect of permanently separat-
ing the gold wing from the silver wing
of the Democracy. 1t pointed out the
ner-in the Repu blican camp.
In the second place, Bryan's defeat
was a victory over the Democratic
party. That great organization had lost
its virtue. AS before our great war it
had been dominated by the slave
power, so since that time it had been
ruled by the money power. The break
ing away of the Bryan people discOv-
cred the encOura ging fact that the re-
form element constituted a large ma
jOrity of the party mem bership-
In the third place it was a victory in
that it aroused the people to a con-
sciOusness OF their power.
And in the fourth place it was
victory of the reform elements of the
country in that it has shown a large
majority of the people are in favor
of bimetalism.
with these facts before US to be con-
sidered in connection with the contin-
ued popularity of Mr.. Bryan as evil
denced by the demand for his services
and the attention paid to his move
ments and utterances the unbiased OBJ
server cannot avoid seeing that this
man is in the midst of the political

TWO Exc. US OF KANSAS
Meet in the Role of Witness and
Questioner.

The Kansas City Star last night
gives the following account of the
stocl1yards investigation yesterday;
When ex-Chief Justice Martin, who
represents the state of Kansas, put eX-
Chief Justice Horton, his opponent in
the legal contest, on the stand and
questioned him about things which
happened in AtchisOn years ago, he
added an element of farce-cOmedy
which greatly amused the spectators.
Just before the noon adjournment
Judge Martin pulled down the new
gray vest of his light summer suit and
said in his nildest tones:
Judge Horton, will you take the
stand2'
Judge Martin made his predecessor in
office testify that he had been chief
justice Of Kansas; that he lived in
Atchison a great many years, went
home on Sundays when his duties
called him to Topeka and in other ways
tried TO be good citizen of AtchisOn
until eight years ago. when he moved
TO Topeka. Then Martin said:
Did you know George FOwler?''
Judge Horton raised his gOld-rimmed
eye glasses and said:
No"
Did you know of his having lived
in Atchison?"
Yes, his place was pointed out to
Did you know of his having a pork
packing house in Atchison?''
Il knew that he had a place in East
river. not in Kansas"
Did he remove his plant from Atch-
isOn2"
I understand that Fowler settled in
or near Kansas City, that he might
better accommodate the people of Kan
sas at a more convenient market"
I did not ask you about that said
Judge Martin. do you know what in
ducements We're given him to move
away from Atchison?'
only what I have heard here.
heard al AtchisOn that Fowler had
hard time getting along there. Some
body said the newspapers drove him
away"
Yes" said Judge Martin, "he did
complain about one newspaper, I be
Ieve."
Judge Martin asked series of ques-
lions about Kingan & Co.'S business in
AtchisOn. Judge Horton did not know;
he really did not remember; he had not
paid much attention to the subject for
years; he could not say whether he
knew the Reid brothers in Atchison;
he had met one of them, who said he
remembered him. but Judge Horton did
not remember him; his memory might
be bad
Attorney Hite tried to save his col
league with objections, but Judge Mar
tln asked his questions as remOrseIess-
" and slowly as ever He INQUIRED
Particularly about the stock market
which the packing houses were build
ing up in Atchison.
Judge Horizons memory failed him
again This time it was a complete
lapse of memory He did not even
know whether a live hog had ever been
sold in Atchison since the town was
built. He reminded Judge Martin that
h Judge Horton) had been away from
home much of the time, and that his
business had not been such as to give
him an acquaintance with the hog
trade.
When Judge Martin stopped asking
Questions Mr.. Hite said in his kindest
tones.
That is all, Judge Horton"
The investigation is dragging along
slowly. with the end. to all appear
ances. only a matter of conjecture At
torney General Boyle had Colonel
Morse. the president of the company,
on the stand yesterday afternoon. ex-
aiming him upon the valuation Of the
property.

ONE OF THESE "PERHAPa"
Brown Says Any Republican but Long
Can Defeat Jerry Simpson.
(From the Newton Republican.

(From the Newton Republican,
w. L. Brown of Kingman, president of
the state board of charities, passed
through here yesterday on his way to
Topeka to attend a meeting of the board.
In conversation Mr.. Brown said:
1T looks as though Jerry Simpson will
be renominated for congressman for this
district
AS Mr.. Brown made this announcement,
he winxed the other eye because it is
well understood in this district that he is
the leader of the anti-Simpson revolt.
But continued Mr. Brown, ''if the
Populists nominate Simpson and the Re-
publicans nominate any other man ex-
cepting Chester L Long, Jerry will be de-
feated. On the other hand, if Long is
named by the Republicans. Jerry win
win"
Mr.. Brown denied that he or his friends
were in rebellion in this district against
Simpson but not in a vigorous manner.
The fact is that he is pulling all the
strings possible, both among his friends
and in the appointments made upon the
state board of charities in an effort to
secure a good organization inimica1 to
the congressman from Medicine Lodge.

oY WILL TAKE IT.
He Tells the Newton Republican That
He VIII "Probably" Acce pit

Cyrus Leland, Republican national
committeeman for Kansas and the next
pension agent at Topeka" says the
Newton Republican, passed through
here last night on his way to New Mex
leo where he will visit at the home of
his daughter, who is ILL.," Continuing
the Republican says:
Mr.. Leland was 10th to talk on poll
tics, but admitted he had been offered
the position of pension agent by the
president and that he probably would
take it. He said rather jestingly that
an attempt was being made TO besmirch
him by Topeka and Kansas City news
papers, and to drag him into alleged
bOOdling transaction.
Z" Needless to say said Mr.. Leland,
" there isn't anything in it,
The Republican leader will remain
in New Mexico for about ten days and
then will go back to washington"

TOM HAYES EXPERIENCE
Proves That Bird in the Hand, Etc,
Applies to Politics.

TITS a bitter pill but I see nothing to
do but swallow" is the way Tom Hayes
of Osawatomie looks upon the appoint
ment of Mike Sutton as internal rev.
enue collector for Kansas.
Mr.. Hayes was steward of the Osa-
watomie insane asylum and would have
probably held his position under the
tenure of office decision of the supreme
court, but he thought he had sure
thing on the collectorship and resigned
the place at Osawatomie to conduct an
unhampered campaign. He has been
defeated. but will take his medicine and
stand by the party.
I'll tell you how it is" he said yes
terday. Il went into a closet with my
self and talked the matter over. was
there lust two minutes during which
made up my mind that am too much
of a Republican to get sore over being
defeated for an office"
