FUSION MADE PERMANENT.
Senators Representing the "Allied

Washington, April 1O.-The final
agreement among Democrats. silver
Republicans and Populists in the SEN
ate looking to a permanent coalition
were reached at a meeting of represen-
tatives of their parties held in Senator
Germans committee room at the CAPT
toll today.
The agreement had it's origin in the
effort to recognize the senate commit

reach far beyond this situation and in
fact to the future proceedings of the
senate on all matters if not to the eX-
tent of shaping party policies through

SALOONS MUST GO.
County Attorney of Crawford Says He
Win Close the 100 Joints.

Pittsburg. April 1O-The county at
torney, T. ]. Wildly will make an hon
est and faithful attempt to close the
saloons in Crawford county, and has
sent out notices to the saloon and joint
keepers of this city giving them a fair
warning of his intentions. The notices
We're served on all the seven joints in
Glrard yesterday, and the same pro-
cess is taken in Pittsburg, and the 10
open places were also warned to close
tonight and open no more
When it is remembered that over 100
saloons are running in the county and
the keepers dictate and control city
and county official action it can be
imagined what a hold they have.
There are 70 men who hold govern
ment permits to sell liquor in Pitts
burg. and but 10 pay tribute to the city
The general impression seems to be
that the saloon men or the better class
of them will close up, but it will put
hundreds of men in business with large
and spacious boot tops.

THE EMPORIA POsTOFFICE.
Ewing is Likely to Get it Next Week.

Ewing is Likely to Get it Next Week.
A Washington special to the Kansas
City Journal says: THE contest over
the EmpOria postoff1ce has assumed a
new phase. A week ago the Leland
wing here claimed the appointment of
Ewing as an assured fact Today it was
learned that Ewing's papers were sent
to the White House from the postoffice
department bearing the o. K. of the
postmaster general, but that they have
since been returned, and are now lying
in their accustomed pigeOnhoIe, await
ing further orders.
THE hOldup of the case is a temper
airy victory for Representative Curtis.
AS soon as the Topeka member reached
Washington, he made a bee line for the
pOstofice department, and, learning
that the papers had gone to the White
House, presented his card to the pres
ident and had an interview with him,
which resulted in the appointment being
remanded to the department for future
action.
Ewing has the vigorous support of
Leland, and it is claimed at Kansas
headquarters that Senator Baker has
also Endorsed him. What the outcome
of the contest will be is uncertain, but
it is likely that, with the combined back
ing of Leland and Baker, Ewing Will Ill
timately be appointed. The appoint
ment, it is understood, will be made
early next week

BEGIN THE FEDERAL PRISON.
Fifty Convicts are at Work-Open Up
New Stone Quarry.


Leavenworth April 1O.-Work on the
new federal prison proper was not re-
ally begun until this morning, when
several wagons and teams commenced
hauling crushed stone from the old
prison to the site of the new, just north
of this city. This crushed stone will
enter into the composition OF. the fOun-
dation of the new structure. sand and
cement bein the other two ingredi-
ents. When these are properly mixed
the whole hardens and solidifies into
one irresistible mass.
A new quarry is being opened on
the reservation which, it Is believed,
will afford almost any quantity of ex-
cellent building stone for the new pen
itentiary.
Fifty convicts were set to work this
morning cleaning off the brush, re-
moving the earth and making ready
to get at the lodges of stone. The side
of the hill is to be cut down almost to
a plumb line, SO that all the lodges will
be exposed. In this way the stone for
building purposes may be taken out
piece by piece by a sort of stair step
method.
The following figures will give 2 prac-
teal understanding of the magnitude
of the work to be done on the
prison:
Number of cubic yards of grading
and excavating, $4,000; and each cubic
yard represents a large wagon load of
earth.
Number of barrels of cement for the
foundations of the building walls, 49,
COO
Number of barrels of SAND, 40, OOO
Number of loads of macadam, so. 900.
These figures represent only mater
ial to be used in bringing the fOunda-
lions up to the building or grade line.
The count of the federal prison this
morning showed 476 convicts. One
man, No. 1852, was discharged today.
He went to Ellsworth, Kan.

Caught Between Moving Freight Cars
He Hung to the Brake Beam.

Newton, April 10.-Yesterday W. B.
kellie, an extra conductor on the Santa
F'e, living on West Fifth figured in an
accident, which again demonstrates the
peculiar luck that follows him. While
coupling the air hose of some freight
cars in the yards at Dodge City, the
cars were suddenly started. He had no
opportunity to get from under the cars,
and to save himself, he hung to a brake
beam and was dragged about a cars
length. He was badly bruised and re-
ceived a wound in the hip, caused by
a bolt being driven into the heshy part
about three inches. He came home on

to it because but little attention is paid
