Telegraph advices from Chicago yesterday are
as follows: In the face of bulliSh news and
higher foreign markets we have had a weak
declining market at Chicago today, closing at
the lowest price of the session. The visible sup
ply decreased 1,4l2, 600 bushels for the week
and now stands at 80, $50, 600 bushels. The
worlds shipments are estimated at ), 100, 900 for
the past week, of which amount America fur
nished utuat 4, 900, 600, or 80 Of the total. The
amount on passage decreased 900, 600 bushels.
The news is still of a bullish character but
market is weak from lack of support. Beer
bohm states that the Argentine surplus for en-
port will be u, 900, 600 bushels against %, 600, 600
last year. However, some cables from Ro-
sarlo say they will have none for export.

tralia instead of being an exporter of about
Il, 900, 600 bushels of wheat, will need to i'm
port 5000, 600 Bushels. Montreal reports large
export business in wheat and claims 5000 bar
rals of flour are being shipped from Winnipeg
t, Australia. As we have said above, in lace

KANSAS FEARS THE GERRYMANDER.
Legislature Will Probably
ton the State.

Topeka. Kas., Jan. 1.-THE present leg
~islature, which is strongly populistic in it's
makeup, is being fed with a flood of bills,
touching innumerable subjects. One i'm
portant measure in course of construction
by Senator Lupfer, chairman of the appor-
tionment committee, will seek to reappor-
ton the state for congressional purposes.
Another district will be added, and the
populists will do everything possible to
g~errymander the state, so they will have
a big advantage in future congressional
elections.
A bill to mark convict-manufactured ar
ticles has been introduced, and will be fol-
lowed by others providing that inmates of
the penitentiary be divided into lots-a
large number to be taken to western Kan
sas to dig irrigation bitches, others 20 be
assigned TO eastern Kansas to build roads,
others to raise farm products for state
institutions, and the vicious ones to break
rock in the penitentiary to be used in
building state roads.

Eden and Seat Of Latah and Afford Of
Nez Perce are the three democrats who
stood by Clagett. 1t is not to be under
stood that Clagett Is out of the race,
though his populist opponents are seeking
to make 1t appear that he Is. His friends
insist that he will yet win: that he WAS
dropped only because the friends of other
candidates were demanding that they be
given a chance. They say they knew
Crook could not be elected. and they go so
far as to convey the idea that no man but
Clasett can be chosen.
On this point there is great difference OF
opinion. Democratic leaders generally In
sist that Clagett can not win, while 1t Is
intimated that some man like Nelson or
Secretary of State Lewis can be chosen.
Some populists say that the name of Lew
is has been brought into the fight by dem
ocrats who want to get the office he now
holds as the price Of complying with their
a greement.

He Knew What He Was About.

Among the stories told to the de-
served credit Of such lawyers as have no
scruples against distorting and conceal
ing the truth in order to shield persons
whom they know or have every reason
to believe to be guilty the following is
entitled to good place:
An attorney had occasion to defend a
man who was justly accused of counter
feiting paper money, and he manipu-
lated the case with such skill that he
secured the acquittal of the prisoner.
When the lawyer and his client were
alone together again, the counterfeiter
overwhelmed the lawyer with thanks.
"And now said he, putting his
hand in his pocket.
"And now, the lawyer took up the
sentence, 81 will have my fee, and
will take it in hard currency, not in

''Of course she's mine" retorted the

Mr.. Vest remarked that this was

" 'oiin T. Searles' be Sugar trust
witness, Judge BRAIDED ordered +ha
jury to bring in a verdict of acc,,,+t,.I
l,o'u4iis that the quest ions asked by
lne senate committee we're not peril
nent, and if so. not within the 1urisr1ic-
ton Of the committee
The judges opinion was exhaustive
1t had been reduced to writing NJ
pointed out that Mr.. Searles had testi-
fed. specifically, that no money had
oeen contributed by the Sugar trust 10
the national campaigns or tor the mr.
pose OF influencing legislation or the
election of United States senator's A.
to the local contributions. Mr. SearIes
mad testified that he did not know how
the contributions haS been used; bv
Wnom and for what nslrpose.
The questions put 10 the defendant
were claimed to be pertinent to the
second and third divisions of the sena-
torial inquiry, namely, as to whether
the Sugar trust had Contributed Sums
10 campaign funds With the purpose Of
influencing the elections of United States
senators, and whether. any senator. had
Dcen party TO a compact with the
Sugar trust. Certainle, the Judge said
a simple investigation as to whether the
Sugar trust had contributed 10 the
campaign fund would be an unwar-
ranted search into the private affairs
OF the company, and plainly beyond
the power of the senate. The senate
committee had reported that no testi-
mony had been produced to show that
the Sugar trust had made any contri-
buttons TO any national campaign fund
or
ton IF money had gone for the pur-
pose Of electing members of state leg
islatures, who in time would elect a
United States senator. it was beyond
the power of theUnited States senate TO
go behind the election of legislative
members. If this were true as to state
matters, how much more true was it of
local elections It would be the widest
conjecture to assume that the money
so contributed in any way had gone to
make I'D the sugar schedule.
1t appeared from .he report Of the
committee that they were not in pos
session of any facts upon which they
could base the most remote hope OF
showing an ultimate connection be-
tween the Sugar trusts contributions
and the sugar schedule. Under these
circumstances. it must be held that the
questions asked were not pertinent, and
if construed to be pertinent, they were
an unwarranted prying into the af-
fairs of the company and, therefore.
beyond the jurisdiction of the senate
Judge Bradley, therefore, sustained
the motion of the defense and ordered
the jury TO return a verdict of acquit
tai The jury accordingly rendered a
verdict of not guilty. and Mr.. SearleS
was free.
The cases Of E. K. Edwards and John
s. Shriver, the newspaper correspond
ents, were postponed until next Mon
day.
