The committee room of Senator VOL

Before the end of the month, Mr.. Ar

els of contract wheat here.
The DEAL. said Mr.. Armour, lis a

We have a little wheat to deliver, and
it viii all be over in a few days. Then

Weare and the other elevator men

did not have the cash wheat to deliver,
we would have made no sales of De-

James Rich of, the American Volun-

Last night at the American Volun-
teers' meeting on East Seventh street,
a crowd of young North Topeka toughs
refused to behave and when ordered to
be quiet by James Rich, one of the
Volunteers, they threatened to get
even with him.
After the meeting at $3.50 o'clock. and
as Rich and James Mccall walked east
on Seventh street d man sprang from
the alley, between Monroe and Madi-
son streets, and dealt Rich a vicious
blow on the head with a whisky bot
tie. Two other men ran up to Rich and
Mccall and a fierce fight ensued. Rich
fell to the sidewalk unconscious after
receiving the blow on the head.
When the men saw what they had
done they ran away. Rich was taken
to his room at 7O2 East Seventh street.
City Physician Mitchell was called but
failed to appear until o'clock this
morning. The man suffered greatly
from a cash on his head and the force
of the blow on his skull While his in

Patrolman Jenkins last night arrest

is the one for he had made threats to

M'KINLEY WILL WAIT.
Importers of Seal Skins to bs Given
Needed Time.

Washington, Dec. PA number of
New York manufacturers of fur gar
ments and importers of furs called at
the treasury department today and had
a conference with First Secretary How
ell in regard to the regulations which
will be necessary to carry out the pro-
congress should it receive the approval
of the president, prohibiting the i'm
porting of what is known as pelagic
seal skins.
Under this act all seal skins not ia
ken on the Pribyloff islands are subject
to confiScation on importation into this
country and the New York importers
who favor the bill asked that every
possible precaution be taken by the de-
partment to prevent the bringing into
the United States of the prescribed
skins.
Ex- Secretary John w. Foster later,
accompanied the delegation consisting
of Messrs. Ullman, Jeekyll and We'll to
the White House, where they had an
extended conference with the president
concerning the sealing bill. The dele
cation heartily endorsed the general
provisions of the bill, but requested the
president to withhold his approval of it
for a few days to enable the trade to
import the skins which it had purchas-
ed in London in ignorance of the pros
pective law It is understood the presi-
dent indicated a disposition to accom-
mOdate~the request and he therefore
may not sign the measure before the
18th inst. This will not apply to skins
shipped prior to the approval of the act
by the president.

all of them members of the musicians
union and most of them members of

ing of q classical musical programme
in the main hall of the city workhouse
where about 100 of the city's most de-
graded men and women, workhouSe
prisoners, were congregated.
There was no effort at speech making
such as prisoners are accustomed to
hearing.
Director Carl Busch simply announc-
ed that the programme would begin
with Sousa's Directorate March, add
ing that he supposed all of those pres
ent knew about Sousa. This was fol-
lowed by an overture by Suppe, the
'Zenda" waltz, and several other COM
positions of a high order, the pro-
gramme closing with Kretzchmer s
Coronation march. The prisoners,
many of whom were sullen and sneer-

musicians vigorously at the close, and
several were in tears.
Two concerts will be given monthly
one at the workhouse and one at the
