FRANK GRIMES is SORRY.
He Would Have Been Glad to See
the Bribery Investigation Go On.

Secretary Frank Grimes of the in
NeSIlgat1ng committee, which the SUI
prene court knocked out, said today:
L regret the turn things have taken
IN reference to our committee not haV-
ing power to continue, but at the same
time L believe the decision handed down
by the majority of the supreme court
judges was correct. I have been anx-
louS all the time to have a thorough in
VestigatiOn of bribery charges, but I
have been disguised at the limited
power we have had, which made us
only smirch characters instead of be-
ing able to show the actual transact
ions.
7 think it was the intention of
great many leading POpulists in the
state to try and prove the assertion
they have been making for the past six
years, that the Republican party is dis
honest and corrupt, and they, as re-
formers, would purify things Instead
of being able to purify the situation
has reversed itself and shows conclu-
SiVeIy to everybody that the people
have been deceived, and what the Pop
ultsts preached has not been practiced.
My position was, and I think of all the
committee was, to shield no one, no
matter what his politics may have
been. Up to this time not an iOta of
proof has been brought out that will
show that single Republican in the
last legislature had been guilty of a.
mfsdemeanor or wrong against the in
tereSt and welfare of good politics and
the power the Populist party has, ex-
ecutiVe, judicial and legislative, it GER
tainly would have come to light. My
judgment is, if this investigation had
continued, it would have completely
ruined the POpulist party in this state
and L am very sorry we had to con-
clude our work. Not that I would want
to see any Individual suffer, but the
time has come when the state of Kan
sas should indOrse no party unless it's
leaders be honest and resist tempta-
tons that may beSet them. It will show
to the conservative and fair minded ell
ement that because a man is Populist
does not necessarily make him honest, /
or because a man is a Republican, he is
not necessarily dishonest. If man is
inclined to wrong, he will do wrong, no
matter what party he belongs to. My
prediction is that voters in this state
at the next election will cease following
the demagogues that have led them
astray and go back, or affiliate again
with the Republican party, because the
Populist party has failed, and the Re
publican party has succeeded"

CHEERS FOR MRS. M'KINLEY
A. Great Demonstration When She
Appeared on the Platform.

Nashville, June 12-NTrs Mckinley
had wisely concluded not to accompany
her party in the procession yesterday,
and great was the disappointment ex-
pressed at her temperance. When
she did come it gave rise to one of the
most delightful incidents of the trip.
Governor Bushnell was in the middle
of his speech when a cheer. swelling
from the back of the auditorium and
thence communicating to the main floor
and the galleries, showed that some
event of extraordinary interest was
transpiring. A moment later Mrs. Nc
Kinley appeared in the center aisle,
leaning on the arm of Mr.. James R
Dunn and accompanied by her aunt,
Mrs. Saxton, and Mrs. John Hill Eakin,
the latter of Nashville.
Governor Bushnell gracefully yielded
the floor and the immense audience was
on its feet in a moment cheering most
Justify. The cheers were redOubled
when she reached the platform and the
Outstretched hands of her husband who
hurried to meet her and conduct her
to a seat by his side, Secretary to the
President John Addison Porter and
wife being Immediately behind her. A
huge bunch of roses was handed Mrs.
Mckinley, and as she bowed and smiled
her thanks the crowd again broke into
cheers.

ALTGELD ON TANNER.
Says the Signing of the Allen Bill
Will Harm the Republican Party.


Will Harm the Republican Party.
New York. June 12.-The Evening
World wired the following questions to
Ex-Governor Altgeld:
What effect will Tanners signing of
the Allen street car bill have on the Re-
publican party2"
What sort of a. citizen is YerIles %
This is Mr.. AItge1d's reply: Answer
ing your two questions: First, for
time a destructive effect. The great
majority of the party is not only
ashamed and mortified, but is alarmed
at the awful and unprecedented carni-
val of corruption which theatens the
destruction of the state But, to judge
by the past it is probable that a little
waving of the flag which corruptionists
wrap themselves in will line the party
up again when the managers want to
use it.
Second, personally and aside from ru-
mOred dealings with the city council
Mr.. Yerkes has been regarded here as
a good citizen, and has many admirers.

FOLEY NOT CONVICTED.
Jury in the Double Missouri Murder
Case Disagrees.

Liberty. Mo, June 12.-After once re-
porting a disagreement and being sent
out again to deliberate the jury in the
Foley double murder case reported
second time that they were unable to
reach a verdict. They were discharged
and Judge Broaddus set the second
trial for the fall term.
The crowd of spectators were Visib1y
disappointed when the jury disbanded,
and after court adjourned, there was
some talk of lynching the prisoner. It
is believed, however, that no trouble
will result. Foley was much relieved
at the turn the case had taken and con-
fidently expressed the opinion that he
would be ACQUITTED at the next trial.

alton Performed.

A year ago Patrick Ash. an engineer
in the employ of the Santa Fe running
out of Chanute, Kan, lost the sight of
his left eye by the explosion of the
water glass on his engine while leaving
the Chanute depot. Yesterday he came
to Topeka for the purpose Of having an
operation performed for the restoration
of his sight.
Engineer AsF's eye was terribly. torn
by the explosion of the glass, and in heal
ing the lens of the eye became opaque
The operation will consist of the re-
moval of the lens. and as soon as the
eye heals a lens as powerful as the lens
of the organ will be substituted in
pair of spectacles. In this way perfect
sight is hoped to be restored.
