II. Juneau. of Dodge City, Kan, who,
with his brother, Joseph Juneau. found.
ed the town of Juneau. Alaska, now
counted as the leading citizen Of the

story to tell of the dark side Of life on
the Upper Yukon. Mr.. Juneau spent
several years In Alaska. and helped
lay out the streets of the town which
now bears his name.
In speaking Of his early experience
In Alaska, Mr.. juneau said:
II helped lay out the town In 1881,
and have been there several times
since. We first named the place Har.

SOME INFLUENCE. AT WORK.

Jefferson City, NO.. Feb. 1S.-tSpecial)
Some subtle influence has been at work
among certain members of the house ju-
dietary committee. On Friday, the COM
mittee submitted a report recommending
the passage of the Horse Breeders Asso-
ciation bill, prohibiting pool selling except
upon racetracks. and making night and
winter racing illegal. Representatives
Clarke, of jackson county, and Rubey, of
Macon county. made minority report. In
which they said the bill ought not to pass.
1t is now said that six of the eleven MEM
bers of the committee are opposed to the
bill and will join with Messrs. Clarke and
Rubey in recommending that it do not
pass.
As the present laws of the state are said
to be Inadequate to accomplish the sup
preston of the poorooms in Kansas City
and st. Louis, il this bill Is killed the
gamblers who are running these places
in the two cities will be made happy.
Whether the horse breeders bill Is or is
not the proper measure to suppress the
pool rooms in Kansas City and st. Louis,
the people of Missouri who are not identi-
fed with the gamblins industry are de-
sirous that this legislature stamp out these
places. 1t is doubtful however, IL this leg
islature enacts any law that will put an
end to pool selling or any other form of
gambling.

WON'T BE ABLE TO AGREE.
Will Pass n Congressional Re-
apportionment Bill,

Topeka, Kas., Feb. 13.-(Special) 1t is
almost certain that there will be no con-
gressional apportionment bill pass at this
session of the legislature. The elements
are against it. If left to the house, a bill
would readily pass, but in the senate 1t is
different. There are too many congress
sional aspirants in the upper house. Each
one wants to arrange his district SO that
his chances for the place will be increased.
The house redStricting bill is by no
means satisfactory to the senate. And the
senate bill. if one is agreed upon, will not
be accepted by the house. The senate
wants TO cut Mitchell and Jewell counties
out of the Sixth district and add them to
the Fifth. The house bill leaves the Sixth
the same as it is at present. Speaker
Street will oppose any bill cutting Jewell
and Mitchell counties out of the Sixth.
He imagines that he stands some show of
beating Mccormack out of the Populist
nomination for congress two years hence.
and he wants those counties left, as they
are Populist Strongholds.
Then there is fight in the Seventh dis
trict. Jerry Simpson is in favor of redis-
tricting the state, as it will take some of
the counties from his district where the
PopuliSts are against him. On the other
hand, Jerrys enemies-his Populist enc
mes-are opposed to anything that he IA
vors, and they are quite numerous in and
around the legislature.
A well known Populist, who is in n posi-
tion to know what he is talking about
boldly asserted tonight that there was no
danger whatever of a bill redistricting the
state being passed at this session.

REsUBMIssIoN IN SIGHT.
Its Friends Claim They Will Have
Five Votes TO Spare in
the House.

Topeka, Kas.. Feb. 13.-(Special) The
test on the resubmission proposition in the
house will be made Tuesday afternoon,
when the Seaton resolution will come up
on special order. The Populists claim they
can muster sixty-six votes in the house
for the resolution, while the Republicans
figure on giving the proposition twenty
four of their votes. This will make ninety
votes, or five more than the required two
thirds majority. 1t is also claimed by the
resubmissionists that thirty of the forty
senators will vote for the resolution. Cy
Leland has doubts as to whether the Pop
ulists in the house can muster sixty-six
votes for the measure. He believes they
are reckoning without their host. He says
he believes that twenty-four Republicans
in the house will vote for 1t, and that If
the resolution carries in the house it will
go through the senate.
On Tuesday afternoon the house is also
to vote on the initiative and referendum
resolution This follows the vote on re-
submission. The Populists will support the
referendum resolution almost to a man.
while there are number of Republicans
who will vote for it in case the resub-
mission resolution fails. because that will
be the next easiest way to get the liquor
question before the people again. The in
itiative resolution has already passed the
senate.

FREE HOMES LIKELY TO WIN.
Can Force 1t Through
This SessioR.

Washington, Feb. f3.-(Special-) Inter-
est in the free homes bill has. been tenn
porarily transferred from the house to the
senate: since Senator Carter, OF Montana,
offered il as. an amend1Hent TO the sundry
civil bill. The measure WIS carried in the
senate by SO decisive majority that there
is not the least doubt to its being at
tached as rider the appropriation bill.
II will then go back to the house for
conference. While the bill has many
friends in the lower branch. il Is well
known that Speaker Reed does not regard
il with much favor. The extent of the
fight that will develop over the question
OF concurrence will depend on the men
whom he appoints on the conference COM
mittee the part of the house. The eX-
penditures of this congress have so far
exceeded the limits of practical economy
that the watchdogs, who regard the free
homes bill as an act of extrayagant legis-
lat1on. will probably make a vigorous ef-
fort to squeeze the homesteaders to pay
for The lands they occupy.
On the free homes side in the house is
the venerable ex-Speaker Galusha A. Grow
of Pennsylvania. who is the father of the
original homestead bill. His resolution
fixing a day for the consideration of the
bill is now pending before the committee
on rules. Friends of the bill say that il
they can secure consideration for Ii, they
can pass II through the house without the
promised aid of the senate. In either
event, II seems probable that the free
homes bill will become Law this con-
EreSS.

Mr.. Cummings said, as to the resolution:
IF an English woman on an English
vessel had been stripped by Spanish CT
ficials, as 1t has been alleged that an
American woman was SstT1pped, within
fcrty-eight hours Moro castle would come
down or some apology would be made for
It, / doubt even il Japan would have stood
it. Furthermore. If the American GOVERN
ment stands it. In my opinien, it indicates
a total loss of manhood and the keenest
sympathy with savage inhumanity.

retroated, two shots were fired. Mrs.
Marrs and her sister-in-law. Miss Ida. a
school teacher. ran up to the room, but
Mrs. Marrs tainted on the steps, just as
Helen ran out of the room. Miss Ida
