NO MORE GUILLEMOT EGGS
Government Is Afraid the Foolish Bird
Will Become Extinct.

San Francisco, Cal, March AT the
solicitation of the committed on bird pro-
lection of the American Ornithologists'
union, OF which Professor Everett NJ.
LOOMS of the California Academy of
Sciences IS a member, the government
officials have set the seal of their dis
pleasure upon the importing of sea birds
eggs from the Faralones. The light
house board at Washington which has
the affairs Of the FaraloneS in charge
as a sort Of United States government
preserve, has issued a decree that the
traffic in eggs of the sea birds Of the
island must cease.
The mandate of the lighthouse board
will bring to a close a unique industry of
this city. The eggs Of the murre. or
foolish guillemot, have been shipped TO
the markets of the city in great quanti-
ty ever since 1S49, at which date they
were almost the only fresh eggs 10 be
had. bringing over 81 a dozen. The
birds were present in the breeding sea-
son, from May until August. on the is
lands in such countless thousands that.
although persistently robbed, their num-
hers seemed 10 snow no appreclaDls dlm-
mnition In recent years, however. ma
turaNsts have noticed the effect of the
annual persecution of the vast colonies,
ard several had fears that they might
become extinct. AS result Of the in
vesdgation the prohibitory measure has
been enacted.
As high as 10000 dozen OF eggs were
annually brought 10 market by the Greek
and Italian fishermen. They are twice
the size of an ordinary hens egg. for
which they are said to be an excellent
substitute, and they sold al retail from
10 TO % cents a dozen.
During the past four or five seasons
the Greeks have been driven off, and the
egg industry has been carried on by the
lighthouse keeper on the Farallones.

Small Show for Cranston.

Reports from Topeka are that W.

in the campaign is to be insurance
commissioner, the job that b. c.
Cranston wants. Cranston called on
l.eedy Saturday and demanded flat
footed an answer as to whether or
not the appointment was fixed. Leedy
replied that nothing was fixed-that
no slate was made up. The chances
are that he was not entirely frank in
the matter because everything points
to Browns appointment.

OF Leavenwortn county, close second.
Edward c. Little, private secretary to
the governor, was third man. The
most of the other candidates had
dropped out. Eighteen candidates
were placed in nomination. William
A. PETER led on the first ballot, with
Harris second, Little third and King
fourth. Little took second place on
he second ballot and PETER last. Har-
is and King gained, PETER gained
IN the third ballot, but lost heav.
lily on the fifth. Then for several bal
lots there were no important changes.
However, King, Harris and Little
began to make gains and the other
candidates to lose and 1t soon became
apparent that the fight was between
these candidates. After the Goth bal
lot Farrelly, Of Neosho, moved to ad-
journ, but the motion was defeated.
The motion was repeated after each
ballot from that time ON until it pre-
vailed after the Gath ballot The ad-
journment, it is said, was forced by the
Harris people. 1t is believed by the
politicians that Titles forces will
go to pieces and that these
votes will be divided between King
and Harris. II this view Of the sit
uation be correct, the fight will be
short and fierce between King and
Harris. Titles friends, however, say
that he holds the key to the situation
and can force his nomination or throw
the nomination to one Of the candi-
dates now practically out Of the race.

Topeka, Jan. 2l.-The Populist
caucus on United States senator met
last night for its second session. The
candidates who had been the first
nights favorites started with about
their strength of the night previous.
Mr.. Little had boosted all day that
he would concede nothing and would
surely be nominated. But he could
not hold hold his men and they went
to Harris who was nominated on the
SD ballot when the vote stood.

W. A. Harris was declared the NOM
inee Of the caucus and he will be
elected Senator next Tuesday. Mr..
Harris was ongressman-at-large from
1892 to 1894, he is wealthy and one
of the best and ablest men in the
Populist party and will command
respect. His home is at Linwood,
Leavenworth county, where he has a
fine stock farm. He was defeated for
the nomination fer governor at the
Abilene convention but is now q state
senator from Leavenworth county.
The Republicans will caucus Friday
night when j. r. Burton will be
named without doubt A telegram
from Senator Baker to Cy Leland yes
terday asked the Republicans to NOM
mate Burton. He said he had re-
ceived a letter from Burton saying
that he was not a candidate for
Bakers seat in 1901 but would be in
the field six years hence. There is
perfect understanding and the best Of
feeling between Burton and Baker.
The selection Of Harris from the
same county as Baker makes strong
for the election OF a central
Kansas man as Harris successor.
Mr.. Little is much disappointed at
the result but he has the satisfaction
Of having put up good fight and
soaring the leaders badly before they
we're through with it.

Washington Letter
The Administration Finance Bill
Makes Mckinley Worry
Considerably
THE GOLD BOND IDEA.
Greater New York's Big Election
Next Week Causes Much
Speculation.
THE GOLD BOND IDEA.

The administration can scarcely
conceal the satisfaction it feels at
the knockout blow administered to
Senator Wolcott's international
bimetallic commission by England,
but it is striving to hide it for
several good and sufficient reasons.
It knows that it is already under
suspicious of having given Eng
land a tip, and, what is more i'm
portant, it knows that the votes of
Senator Wolcott and the other five
Senators Garter, Pritchard, Shoup,
Warren and Clarke who remain
ed in the republican party, when
other silver republicans led ty
Senator Teller abandoned it,
solely because of their belief that
this administration would be able
to accomplish something for silver
through some sort OF an interna-
tional agreement, will be needed
when the attempt to jam an adj
ministration financial bill through
the senate is made this winter.
It remains to be seen whether
! their votes can be had. None of
these men are fools. Their
attitude tow ards the administra-
ton financial bill will probably
depend largely upon whether
Senator Wolcott has been cured of
his international bimetallism
hallucinations by the rebuff given
by the British government, and
whether he sees through the
game that has been played upon
him and his silver colleagues and
their constituents. Not only
