IKE LAMBERT'S PLACE.
Snre to be Made U. S. District Attor-
ne7 for Kansas.

Washington April 2-The Kansas
Republican delegation has united on
another man for a good place. Cy Le-
land and Senator Baker agreed today
that the lucrative appointment as Uni
ted States district attorney for Kansas
should go to Ike Lambert of En-
por1a. The followers of the two bosses,
taking their cue from their leaders, are
now all for Lambert, and his appoint
ment is expected to be made by Mon
day at the latest.
Lambert came here in the early stage
of the fight and so successful was he
that today he was formally Endorsed
by both the senator who controls the
senate end, and the boss, who controls
the state end. Because of the friction
over the appointment of Thomas Ryan
as first assistant secretary of the in
terror, it was thought for a time that
attorney. Mr.. Ryan still claims resi-
dence in Topeka, and when he was
nominated a strong pull was made to
get the office of attorney for someone
other than Lambert, on the ground that
the Topeka district was getting more
than its share. Lambert easily over
difficulty, secured the Endorsements
which insure his nomination.
This is probably the only big state
office on which Leland and, Baker will
agree. Their rivalry for supremacy in
the state is too intense for them to
travel the same path longer. Their
ways Will diYerge soon. Senator Ba-
ker's evident intention to hold Leland
to a fair division is stiffened by the as
surances he is receiving that a cOnSid-
cradle element of the party is tired of
Leland'S bOSSism.
Elk Representative Chester I. Long of
Kansas, and a delegation of prominent
Republicans of the same state, who are
warmly in favor of the nomination of
x-Representative Kirkpatrick as con-
sui general to Mexico had a talk with
the president as to Mr.. KirlIpatricks
fitness for the place. The delegation
consisted Of J. NJ. Simpson, state chair
man; J. H. Richards, F. L. Brown, JOS
eph Kerry, L E. Lambert and ex-Mayor

MINISTER TO SWEDEN.
DR.. Thomas of Maine Has Been De
cided Upon for the Place.

Washington, April 2.-The congress-
ionaI contingent at the White House
yesterday was unusually large. All the
Republican members of the ways and
means committee, with the exception OF
Chairman Dingley, paid their respects
The president will give a compliments
~ dinner at the White~House this ev-
ening in their honor.
One of the things developed by the
visit of delegation was that Mr.. Nc
Kinley has practically decided to ap-
point Dr.. W. w. Thomas of Maine min
lister to Norway and Sweden.
E2epresen tative Dolliver of Iowa and
Representative c. w Stone Of Penn
sylvania had called to press ex-State
Senator E. r. Carson of Iowa for this
mission, but they came away convinced
that the president had made up his
mind to appoint Dr.. Thomas, who was
minister to the Swedish court under
Gen. Harrison.
Speaker Reed. it is understood, has
made only three requests of the presi-
dent one for the appointment of DR.
Thomas, another for the appointment Of
ex-COngressman Aldrich OF Illinois, as
minister TO Belgium and another the
appointment OF VIM. Feeder as consul
to Jamaica The two latter have been

The most important caller in the af-
ternoon was Judge Nathan Golf of West

White House that in the event of the
retirement of Associate Justice Field of
the supreme court and the appointment
of Attorney General McKenna to the
bench that Judge Golf may be induced
to accept the position of attorney gem
eraI. There is also of course specula-
ton as to the possibility that Judge
Golf himself may succeed Justice
Field. The justice is now very old, but
has not decided anything regarding the
time when he will quit the bench.

CHANDLER OUT HUMOR.
He was Not in a Mood to Vote for the
Arbitration Treaty.

Washington. April 2.-The senate yes
terday in executive session concluded
its consideration of all amendments to
the arbitration treaty.
An interesting incident of the session
was Senator Chambers refusal to agree
to a final vote on the treaty today. He
called attention to the Associated Press
dispatches in regard TO the situation in
Crete, and said that he did not feel dis
posed to enter into negotiations with
any power whose guns were turned up
on a community OF Christians strug-
Cling to throw off the yoke of moslem-
ism.
He also spoke of EngIand's conduct
towards the Beers OF the Transvaal as
deserving of condemnation He said he

for it now
Senator Hale ridiculed this view as
sentimental
No day was fixed for a final vote.

SHAWNEE SCHOOL BONDS.
Suit to be Brought to Collect $4,000
Not Paid.

State superintendent Stryker intends
TO bring a suit against Shawnee county
to collect about $4,000 in bonds issued
by certain school districts and sold to
the state school fund commissioners
and now held in the pernanent school
fund
Some years ago the following districts
were attached to the city of Topeka for
school purposes: No. p, near Wash
burn; No. 81 Lowman Hill; No. So and
No. As across the river
The districts had been previously
bonded and the bonds we're sold TO the
school fund commissioners. District
No. %, which assumed the Indebtedness,
has not been paid the principal or the
interest upon the bonds although re-
peated efforts have been made to collect
it.
The settlement has not been made
owing to an opinion rendered by r. 3.
WEIGH as county attorney, in which he
held that the balances which the treas
urers of the school districts had turned
over TO the county upon. the cOnsolida-
out by the county treasurer unless au-
rhorized to do so by special legislation.
No special legislation has been secured
and the money has been repOSing in the
county treasury.
The principal amounts to nearly SIP
o00 at per cent interest for nearly five
years. Mr.. Stryker proposes TO have
the account squared with the state and
unless it is effected by other means, will
bring suit against the county commits
sioners. asking that they be compelled
10 make the required levy TO pay both
principal and interest of the bonds.

TO HAVE WHITE WINGS.
Progressive Commissioner Ram
sey Starts an improvement
In the Street Force That viii
Be Remembered.
Street Force to be Uniformed Possibly
in White Duck and the Streets
to Be Kept Actually Clean.

Topeka may soon have a uniformed
street force. Street commissioner Ram
sey is in favor of the departure and he
will probably recommend to the coun-
ell the passage of the necessary ordi-
nance.
There is hardly a city in the country
in which the men who are employed
on streets are not dressed in some dis
tinctive garb, usually white duck, but
Commissioner Ramsey favors some
less striking color, and he would prefer
blue.
'If it is nothing more than pair of
blue oVeralls,'' said he today, 1T would
be a good thing. There are so many
changes in the working force that it
might not be possible or advisable to
have all uniformed, but they could at
least wear overalls of a uniform color.
Everyone will indorse Street Commits
sioner Ramsey's idea of a uniformed
street force, but if we are to have it
the uniform should be of white duck.
This is the distinguishing uniform OF
the street forces in the large cities and
it would give Topeka a metropolitan
air that no other western city has New
York introduced the white wings" a
year or two ago and other cities have
followed suit, Kansas City being the
latest.
The street commissioner will soon put
in operation, if the council will con-
sent q new plan for keeping Kansas
avenue clean and the men who do the
work will be uniformed. 1t viii not
take more than three or four of them,
but if the plan works we'll the system
may be extended to other streets
The men assigned to Kansas avenue
are to be armed with small push carts
and each is to carry a broom and
large shovel. The carts are to be fixed
so that a sack may be suspended with
the mouth held open. The men viii
push these carts around and with their
shoveIs will gather up the refuse and
dirt of all kinds on the pavement When
the sacks have been filed they Will be
taken off, tied up and placed in an al
ley. where they viii be gathered by
a man and team.
Street Commissioner Ramsey says
that one man and a cart can keep at
least two blocks of the Kansas avenue
pavement free from dirt and refuse
and the system will be tried on this
basis The use of the street sweeper
will not be discontinued, but it viii not
be necessary to use the sweeper SO often
and the streets will present better
appearance during the day

a Satisfactory Triul or the WreckinR
Boat Aruonnut.
Baltimore, oct. "a private trial Of
the submarine wrecking boat Argo-
naut, has been had in the drydock Of
the Columbian Iron works, where she
was built, the result of which is said
to have been highly satisfactory to ner
inventor and owners. She was sub
merged In 2t feet OF water, remaining
under the surface for two hours, dur
ing which time constant communica-
tion was kept up with those who were
IN her cabin and engine room by means
Of a rubber tube.
Six gentlemen connected with the
iron works and the company which
owns the boat accompanied Simon
Lake, the inventor, on the submarine
trip, and all agree that there was an
abundance of light and air at all times,
the compressed air being so pure that
cigars were smoked in the cabin dur
ing the submerslon. Many tests OF her
engines were made, and while the trial
was mel%ly preliminary the inventor
asserts that enough was learned to
make it certain that the boat win be
able to perform the work for which
she is desiened-viz, the recovery Of
cargoes from sunken vessels, and all
other work of a submarine character.
