Asked if Leland made him specific
offer, McNeal said: Yes, he intimated
that the stOckyards company did not
ask people to work for them for MOTH

venting the publication of the bill.
Seeing that did not look faVora0ly on

Attorney General Boyle is thinking
seriously of prosecuting Leland, and
says he will if he can secure evidence
which will convict. This evidence
would seem to be enough, but there
are so many Lechnicallties IN law. IL
would probably be necessary to secure
two witnesses to the same proposition
made at the same time. But anyhow
Leland has been finely smirched. The
biggest republican in Kansas, the one
entrusted by Mark Hanna with dis
pensing his Doodle for the campaign
and gwen jurisdiction over three states,
the one who now distributes the pat

and leading members of his
own parry with attempted bribery with
money furnished him for that purpose
by the Stock Yards Company. Surely
we as a people, are in no danger from
the corporations, and populist legisla
ton is no good. BY the way, Mark

"BOoDLE triumphant" would be avery
appropriate title for a realistic lay on
the situation in Illinois in regard to
the bills for rechartering the Yerkes
Street car franchises for period of
fifty years to charge the same old, rate
of five cents per ride as in the times
when ten cents we're easier tC get than
the five cents now. The bill was once
killed In the lower house of the legis-
iature but was rechristened and
brought in again in substantially the
same form and finally passed. Then
came the contest with the governor for
a veto but gubernatiOnal vetOes are ap-
parently as difficult to get in the inter-
est of the people, as good legislation
from legislatures. So the governor
whose record has always been nnsavory
signed TIE bill. Such a clamor and
revolt in Chicago from all parties has
probably never been witnessed before.

WEALTH OF RussIA.s RULER.
Occupant of Muscovite Throne Rich.

Occupant of Muscovite Throne Rich.
est of Europe's sovereisns.
The Emperor Paul, whose reign was
certainly not one of the most brilliant,
was, nevertheless, one of the greatest
benefactors of the dynasty. He not
only settled the order of succession on
a permanent basis, but also endowed
his posterity with the material means
of maintaining their position. 1t IS
claimed that no other reigning family
in Europe is so well provided for. Paul
/. set aside a vast amount of landed
property, under the name of the inn
peria1 appanages, for the sole benefit
of all grand dukes AID grand iluchesses
not in the direct line of succession,
while the sovereign and the heir APP
parent, together with their respective
families, were to be supported out of
the funds of the state. These appan-
ages of the Russian imperial family
now cover the enormous total area in
different sections of Russia of 81 ,0oO,-
600, an extent of land larger by 2.OOo,-
900 acres than the whole of Scotland.
This total includes 100000 acres of
wood and forest, producing yearly
more than 100000 rubles. The total
annual revenue of the imperial APP
panages now reaches 20,00O,O 900 rubles,
more than e2,O0o,ooo, and, with no
fewer than 46 members of the imperial
family to support, the expenditure at
present amounts to yearly average
of over 5000, 900 rubles. In 1891 it was
over 100000 rubles.
The appanages are, quite separate
and distinct from extensive private
property and from the crown or state
domains, administered by the minister
of agriculture, and they do not con-
tribute toward the annual expenditure
of the imperial court, amounting. as
far as can be ascertained, to about
6 1,O0O,OO0; nor toward providing
dowries for imperial grand duchesses.
Before the emancipation of the serfs
the appanages possessed over 100000
peasants, who paid annually in land
and poll taxes for the benefit of the inn
perial family nearly 100000 rubles.
and during 6S years, up to their liberia
ton, altogether 119 100000 rubles. or
12, 500, 900. The department OF i'm
perial appanages has since become
the largest landed proprietor, the larg-
est agriculturist and the largest wine
producer in the empire. It's industrial
enterprises in timber, sugar, cotton
and other products are rapidly devel-
oping on proportionately large scale.
During a century of existence it has
furnished the collateral branches of
the imperial house with altogether
36,OOO,O 900 rubles, and. as the imperial
progeny continues to increase, large
reserve fund is employed in preparing
to meet their ever-growing demands.

KANSAS LIVE STOCK RATES.

Railroad Commissioners Order That the
Car Load Rates BE Restored.
TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 21.-After a
hearing lasting three hours, the state
board of railroad commissioners issued
a declaration that the temporary order
made by the old board last April, re-
quiring Kansas railroads to restore the
car load rates on live stock, was still in
effect, and advised the railroads to
comply with it. This declaration
was made on account of the
action of the Kansas roads in
adopting the system of charging by the
hundred weight. The representatives
of the roads declared that it was inn
possible to comply with the order.
This assertion came from the attor-
neys, however. The question will be
referred to the traffic managers, and
the attorneys admit that they don't
know what will be done. The board
set Septem Der 81 as the date for the
hearing of evidence and argument
on the application for permanent or
der. In case the roads refuse to re-
store the car load rates, the cattlemen
declare that they would begin at once
the working up of sentiment for ex-
ira session of the legislature, so that a
law can be passed that will give the
railroad commissioners power to en-
force rates
