PHILANTHROPIC MOVE.
Plan to Secure Work for Unemployed
Modelled on San Francisco Plan.

Plans are being discussed by some of
the leading citizens looking to the es-
ia blishment of some place in the city
where an unemployed man who is will
ing to work can go and be furnished
with work, if there is any to be had.
The plans have assumed no definite
shape as yet.
Mr. Clarence E. Skinner was the first
TO suggest the plan, which he gathered
from a San Francisco dispat tch in the
State Journal telling OF an OrSan1ZatiO
formed in San Francisco to provide
such public bureau of employment
The article referred to appeared in
the issue of the Journal of February "a,
and goes into detail in regard to the
fitting up of a headquarters" where
people can go to employ men to do odd
jobs and where men who are out of
employment can go and be directed to
places where work can be obtained.
The object of the San Francisco es-
tablishment is stated briefly in the arti-
TT is their intention to open a register
in which will be recorded the name of
eetbsr Writh his trade or caiIine 50 thai
any one Wishing to obtain the services of
any of them can just refer to this regis
any one of the occupation sought for
there
start some such movement in this city
and they ask the cooperation of every
person in Topeka
Mr.. Skinner said today;
My idea is that the first thing to be
operation pt ii n Would be to get suitable quar-
ters established. This can be done with
little expense L think The labor would
be ready waiting for the chance to fix
up the rooms. There are plenty of men
who are out of work. and who would pre-
fer to have employment rather than char
ity.
IF citizens will apply to the associa-
ton for men to do odd jobs which are
needed to be done al nearly every house,
the success of the moyemeht would be as
sured and Topeka will be doing her share
toward solving the question of the unzm-

ABOUT APPROPRIATIONS.

While the prescribed period for the
session of the legislature has already
passed, there still remains an immense
amount of important legislation that is
absolutely necessary. Paramount to
everything else. of course, are the ap-
preparation bills.
The evils and misfortunes that attend
the, hasty consideration of bills which
appropriate money necessary for the
conduct of the state institutions are
particularly noticeable in the pending
bills covering the educational institu-
tions.
For instance: A bill has already
passed the senate and is now before the
house ways and means committee
which shows that these committees are
ignorant that this legislature is under
taking to apportion and regulate funds
which are given. not by the state, but
by the federal government
Strange as this may appear, it is new
ertheless true.
The ignorance appears to be wholly
due to the fact that the regents and
members of the faculty of the state ag-
ricultural college have been unable to
get a hearing before these committee
to explain these points. The federal
government appropriates to the college
about $500 annually for the payment
primarily of salaries The apprOpria-
require that the endowment fund from
which the revenue comes shah never be
diminished.
The Kansas legislature now under
ting and slashing to reduce the salaries
to sum aggregating about $13 900 less
than the federal government gives for
the specific purpose
Another unfortunate phase of the sal
aries bill which is now before the house
committee and which concerns the univer-
Sity and normal school, as well the ag-
ricultural college, is that it undertakes to
prescribe the exact amount which shall
be paid to each employees of the various
state educational institutions, whether he
be janitor or the president
1t IS said by the representatives of the
institutions that in many cases positions
which could have been dispensed with
rather than reductions incurred in other
departments, have been retained. In 9TH
words, the regents are given no lati-
tude; they cannot adjust salaries to meet
their best judgments and covering hum
the fixed appropriation for the two years
for the particular places named. No mat
ter whether some of these places become
wholly unnecessary in the near future
or whether they could be dispensed with
rather than harm some important depart
mentS.
If the legislature is determined to make
best that the method followed heretofore
would be best, namely, to make the ap-
propriations in bulk for salaries and al
low the regents to make the best allot-
ment possible.
Concerning the salaries paid by the fed
eral government of course, the legisla-
ture should let that severely alone.
members should take action understand
ing what they are doing. They do
this only by permitting a hearing or learn
ing the facts.

GREEKS CALLED HOME.
King George Calls on His Subjects in
America to Return.

New York, March Ellis execellency,
Alexander G. Skouzes, minister of for
eign affairs to King George of the Hell
lenes, cables today to the acting Gre
clan minister instructing him to call
out the members of the Grecian re-
serves in the United states and to urge
them by every means to go to the as
sistance of their native country.
D. N. Boatesi, the acting minister
who is also consul general of Greece in
New York, in an interview said that
the cabIegram was of most startling
nature and indicated that war was i'm
minent. 1T is very serious" said he.
Il am instructed even to call out the
reserves that belong to the class as far
back as 1866. and so it is evident that
King George sorely needs the support
of every abIe-bodied Greek in this
struggle In this country there are
about 20 900 Greeks. OF these probably
about 5000 belong to the army reserve.
Through the Associated Press, in the
name of King George, 1 wish to Off
cially notify all the reserves OF the Gre
clan army who are in this country that
their fatherland calls them back to it's
ranks And to ali Greeks. whether
they have fought in bygone days or

The news of the proposal upon the

TO the island of Crete has created a bad
impression among the insurgents, who
desire annexation to Greece. The
Mussulmans are also irritated at the
concession of autonomy.

Lord Salisbury's paramount anxiety

upon the support of Italian and British

POpuliSt Voters Won't Do a
Thing to Them.
No Flags and Brass Bands For
Returning Members.

The Kansas legislature will not re-
main in session later than one week
from today. A concurrent resolution,
introduced by Senator Forney, provid-
ing that no legislative business, other
than receiving and acting upon mes
sages from the governor, shall be trans
acted after II o'clock noon next Friday,
was adopted by the senate unanimously
this morning, and was at once mes
saged to the house. The resolution will
probably not come up in the house be-
fore Monday morning, but a number of
prominent Populist members of that
body stated today that it would un-
doubtedly be adopted.
The resolutions reads as follows:
Resolved, That all consideration of
bills and joint resolutions originating
in the senate shall cease in said senate
at the close of Tuesday, March g. 1897.
and all consideration of bills and joint
resolutions originating in the house
shall cease in the house at said date,
except that appropriation bills and re-
ports of conference committees. and
messages from either branch of the leg
islature to the other branch may be
considered until u o'clock, Friday
March u. 1897, after said hour, until

ness shall be transacted, except receiv-

in both houses during Monday and
Tuesday, and ''railroading' of bills will
undoubtedly be in order. There are
now 162 senate measures on the senate
calendar under the head of general or
ders, and on the house calendar there
is at least twice that number of house
measures under the same order.
Every POpulist weekly paper in the

Governor Leedy Has Not Passed on
Railroad Bill Yet

The law gives Governor Leedy until
next Tuesday in which to decide upon his
course with reference to the railroad bill
which awaits his signature.
1t is predicted that the governor will
refuse to sign the bill Others say he will
sign it but like the Populist senators and
representatives who voted for it, will en-
ter a. protest against the measure on the
ground that it is not what the people
wanted and what was promised them
Asked today to his intentions the
governor said to a Journal reporter: Il
have been trying to get a chance to eX-
anime that bill but have not been able to
do I viii make another effort today
and hope to have some time Monday to go
into it in detail

question
THAT is question I cannot answer. I

clusiOn to its merits"
Then at this time you are wholly un-
able to indicate what you are likely to
do queried the reporter.
THAT is the exact situation. AS l have
said 1 will make up my mind and take
action before Tuesday, but 1 apprehend

SLID DOWN THE BANK.
A Washout Wrecks the Big Four's
Chicago Express.

ShelDyville Ind, March 6.-The Chi
cago express on the Big Four left the
track on account of a washout three
miles and half above here this morn
ing All the passengers have been re-
turned to Indianapolis and it will be
difficult for any trains to reach Cincin-
natl over the Big Four until Sunday
night or Monday morning.
The washout is between Brandywine
River and Swamp creek and the tracks
are spread for distance of 500 feet The
train consisted of four sleepers, three
day coaches, one baggage car and one
mail car. When the engineer saw the
water covering the tracks he supposed
he could get through. He found this
impossible and reversed his engine. The
train broke and one sleeper was left on
the safe side The rest of the train left
the rails and slid down the bank, but
did not topple over. The passengers
were all safely removed.

TO SETTLE MATTERS.
Sale of the "Capital" Ordered in Order
to Put it on Sound Footing.

91I6 OF LA0 "0&Pll&A OIQSEGu IN OT00E
to Put it on Sound Footing.
A decree has been filed in the United
States circuit court ordering the sale
of the Topeka Capital plant and ap-
pointing H. P. Dillon master to make
the sale.
The decree is virtually a settlement
of the receivership case which has been
pending for some time in the federal
court, and the receiver will not take
charge. The decree makes the mort
cages of John r. Mulvane, amounting
to $50. .274.32 the first lien on the plant
and that claim must be satisfied before
anything else can be paid the creditors.
The claim of J. E. Baker, who brought
the suit, amounting to 81, 1861, is made
the second lien.
The plant will be sold to follow the
necessary legal form and it will un-
doubtedly be bought by Mr.. Mulvane,
who is the largest creditor. The sale
will put a stop to threatened litigation
by creditors of Major ]. K. Hudson, who
hoped to bring proceedings involving
the newspaper plant.
In the decree signed by Judge Will
Iiams the transfer of the Capital to the
Topeka Capital company is held to be
fraudulent and therefore void.
