Five minutes after 10 O'clock the presi-
dent-elect emerged from his reception room
on the arm of Senator Sherman. He looked
calm and walked firmly. just behind him
came Secretary Porter with Senator Mitch
ell OF Wisconsin. Captain Heistand, OF the
army, with Abner Mckinley brought UP the
rear and kept back the people who pressed
upon the party, even in the hotel corridors.
AS the pres,dent-elect emerged from the
private entrance OF the Ebb!tt House on
Forty-fourth street beside the tail form OF
Senator Sherman there was roar Of ap-
plause that shook the building. The street
was packed with solid mass of people,
through which the carriage that was 10

police struggled TO clear passage through
the crowd the president-elect stood at the
head Of the granite steps and bowed his
acknowledgements The presdeni-elect
was seated with Senator Sherman. sitting
on the rear seat and Senator Mitchell with
Mr. Porter occupying the front seat. The
carriage was one brought by the senate
committee and was drawn by pair OF
clipped brown horses.
At ten minutes after 10 o'clock the start
vas made for the White House amid re-
neved cheering by the crowd and under
escort OF troop A OF tire Cleveland cracA

Notwithstanding the fact that the advo-
Gates of a maximum freight rate said when
the Hackney amendment was defeated in
| the house that they We're ready to lie down
they are up again and stra:n;ng themselves
red in the face to get the bill recalled with
view to injecting such provision before
the measure goes to the governor. Leedy
has given out that II won't do Two or
three inside meetings of administration
leaders have been held and under pressure
of letters from Populists all over the state
demanding this provision il has been de-
cided as a matter of politics that some
things got to be done. Reformers are here
from almost every county IN the state ana
they assume to bring word from the rank
and file at home that no further monkey
business will be tolerated. The impression
has slowly seeped into the heads of the
'steerers'' here that the lay members of
reform meant it when they subscribed to
the doctrine that a dead line ought to be
drawn for railway corporations.
A senate caucus was held last night and
the maximums held out till nearly midnight
but it was useless. There were half dozen
detachment caucuses in progress this
morning preparatory to the joint caucus to
be held tonight.
There is no doubt Of the destruction Of
cur party if we don't get this railroad legis-
iation,'' a western Kansas Populist said
this morning. There will never be another

Chairman C. L. Brown OF the committee
TO investigate the Cowley and Kingman
county bond deal this mornig submitted a
report. The special point in the Cowley
county case to which the committee calls
attention was that Greer. who conducted
the refun6ing negotiations, used the states
money to accomplish the transaction and
without any personal investment received
the sum of ss57l.4o
Relating to kingman county the commit
tee found about the same method of bar
gain. The amount in this case was 100000
and the agent received s16,5o0 in county
coupons. The committee finds nothing
criminal in relation to the transaction, bu:
glazing Irregularities and carelessness on
the part of certain county officers. The
committee recommends change of laws TO
allow direct dealing of state school funds
commissioners in purchasing bonds.

Governor Leedy signed the stock yards
bill today.
There was big fight tonight on the text
book bill. The loss of the measure seems
to be probable on account of the following
letter addressed today to Street, Davis,
Fairchild and others:
MY Erring Brothers:-Hell knows no
fury like a people betrayed. We know
Wilson, and we know you. Support that
text book bill without amendment. Do
you understand"
Wilson is an American Book company
lobbyist.
The text book bill came up in the house
committee of the whole yesterday after
noon and, while nothing was done. II seem
ed apparent that the measure would pass
without and very material amendment.
About the only squabble occurred over the
appointment of commission. Quite num-
Der were in favor of a non-partisan board,
but the majority side seemed TO think that
since the scheme would be chargeable to
the Populists and the responsibility upon
them, they ought TO have the board in that
party.

All the Republican side but three have sup
ported the plan from the first All the
Populist side OF the house but about five

Mr.. Fairchild this morning moved to cal
up and reconsider the motion by which the
bill was indefinitely shelved but the POP
economists jumped up in storm and i'm
mediately tabled Mr.. Fairchilds' motion
which settles the matter permanently.
This completes a whole session that has
been mainly devoted by the majority side
TO kicking that section of the state that
gave the Offices to the present administra-
ton. The only thing that will equal il
extent this high-handed and hoggish in
gratitude Will be the servile and ridiculous
foolishness of the people who continue to
vote that ticket.
