They Ask Gov. Leedy to Call an Extra Sos
sion to Enact Railroad Legislation.
KANSAS Cry, Mo-, March l9.-There
was never more exciting meeting
held in the Exchange building than
the one yesterday, which had been
called by the directors Of the board OF
trade, to consider the advisability Of
sending a delegation Of grain men to
Topeka to urge Gov. Leedy to call q
special session OF the Kansas legisla-
ture, for the sole object Of passing q
maximum freight rate bill. That an
organized body Of Missouri grain
dealers should seriously discuss the pro-
position Of appealing to the governor
Of another state to call together
a Legislature, in order that laws
might be enacted which would protect
those grain dealers from the exorbitant
charges of the railroads, was in itself
a curious state of affairs 1t was q
plain demonstration that many of the
business men of Kansas City, and es-
pecially the grain commission men,
feel that they are suffering abuses at
the hands of the railroads, and that
they are determined to seek the rem
edy for the evil wherever 1t may be
found.

WASHINGTON, March 22.--The plan
of President Cisneros and Gen, Maxine
Gomez to purchase the freedom Of the
island of Cuba is being followed up by
the Cuban representatives in this coun-
try. 1t is learned on good authority
that the recent visit to this city of
Estrada Palma, the Cuban delegate to
the United States, was for the purpose
of pressing the purchase idea His
plan is said to be to obtain
the introduction and passage
through congress Of d joint reso-
luton setting forth the willing
ness of the Cuban patriots to buy their
independence by assuming the present
war debt and the deficit existing since
the termination of the ten years war,
and urging the executive department
OF this government to Use its good
offices to secure from Spain the accept
ance of this offer, so favorable to this
country. The suggestion is that II the
congress Of the United States should
adopt such resolution it would be a
sufficient incentive to induce the presi-
dent to bring the proposition before
Spain as that favored by the people of
the United States. The amount of the
debt which the Cubans should assume
is about Sl00. 1000.

KANSAS BANKING LAW.

Breidenthsl Issues . Call for Statement
and Says They Must Toe the Mark.
TOPEKA, Kan, March l9.-Bank Com
missioner John W. Breidenthal has Is
sued call for a statement Of the con-
dition Of the 27o state and 100 private
banks in Kansas at the close OF bust.
ness on March 0. The call was accom-
panied by letter calling attention TO
the banking law enacted by the legis-
lature this winter. Many changes have
been made in the law and as result
many bankers will be required to make
changes in their business. Banks
whose capital has been impaired must
make the impairment good, either
BY an assessment on their stock, or
by reducing their capital to the extent
OF the impairment. Section 81 OF the
new law provides that where bank
owns real estate in excess OF 30 per
cent. Of Its capital, its holdings must
be reduced to 50 per cent. Of It's capital
within one year. Section II prohibits
investments In the stock OF any cor.
poration and provides for the sale
Of any goods or chattels that may
come into the banks possession within
six months. Section 10 prohibits loans
in excess Of Is per cent OF the banks
capital. Commissioner Breidenthal
will require that excess loans OF long
standing, and where the security is
not such as can be readily converted
into cash, BIZ reduced to the legal
limit. By the provisions of section 80
bank officers are made personally liable
for overdrafts allowed BY them. The
attention Of bankers is especially
called to section 40, which prohibits
habitual borrowing, and limits the col
lateral that bank may pledge as Sc
curity for borrowing money to 20 per
cent. in excess OF the amount borrowed.

HORRIBLE CRIME AVENGED.


Seott jackson and Alfonso WAlling Executed
for the Murder Of Pea RI Bryan.
NEWPORT, KY, March 22.-Scott
jackson and Alonzo Walling, dental
students Of Cincinnati, convicted Of
the murder Of Pearl Bryan, were
hanged together on double trap in
an enclosure in the jail yard here at
ll:41K o'clock Saturday. The con-
demned men spent quiet but restless
night and were up at $50 o'clock, ate
heartily and INDUCED in cigars and
had good time. AT s:l5 o'clock it
was announced that jackson had
made a complete confession and
Gov. Bradley was telegraphed to
in the interest Of Walling. Jackson
declared that Walling was not guilty
Of murder.
Jackson was given five minutes to
make a statement and TO tell how and
by whom the crime was committed,an
to specify to what extent Walling was
blameless. At the end Of five minutes
jackson stated that he could not swear
that Walling was innocent. This set.
tied the fate Of both prisoners and in
a few minutes the march to the scat
fold was begun.
Just before leaving the cell Walling
said: ~ will tell you now at the last
moment Of my life that l was not there
and am innocent OF the whole crime
jackson has said as much, but it seems
it will not save me. l cannot say any
more. l will say no more on the scat
fold"

reached this city Of the drowning Of

Much Trouble Expected When the Minor
Offices Are Reached.
WASHINGTON, March 2O.-The army
Of place-hunters in Washington shows
no sign Of evacuating the city. 1t may
be remarked also that President Nc
Kinley keeps up an admirable courage
despite the daily assaults on the white
house, and remains firm in his inten-
ton not to surrender except on his
own terms. His appointments have
been we'll received for the reason that
there was no particular fight being
made for the places filled. The men Sc
lected were all considered sure winners
from the start. 1t will be different
when the president gets down to the
minor Offices. Up to the present no
one seems to be able to secure definite
information as to what the presidents
policy will be in regard to these ap-
pointments-that is to say, whether he
proposes to make them at once or hold
them up until after the passage Of the
tariff bill. The impression prevails
that the president will make no ap-
pointments he does not consider to be
demanded by the needs of the public
service until after the tariff bill has
made its perilous voyage across the
