AS TO AN EXTRA SESSION..
Indications Are That Governor Iced,
VIII Call One for May
or June

Topeka, Kas., April 6.-(Special) No doubt
Is expressed by leading Populists as to the
intention of the governor to call an extra
session of the legislature. 1t is the unani-
nous opinion that the session will be held
the latter part of May or early in June. In
TACT they talk confidently about the
matter as TO leave the impression that the
governor has already told them what he
intends to do.
Senators Householder. Jumper and Titus
came in to-day. and each favorS a special
session. although they do not agree as TO
what kind of a railroad bill should he
passed. Titus and Householder are favor
able 10 the old-fashioned maximum rate
DILL Jumper is opposed to it, He wants
the present rates now in force by the rail-
roads adopted as a basis and then TO
cloihe the railroad commissioners with
power to adjust Determinations upon COM
plaint. In speaking about the matter, he
said: "
should the legislature adopt the rates
now in force by the railroads the roads
could not attack their reaSonablennss Then
If the board were given the power to adjust
Determinations upon complaint II would
cnly be a short time until the freight rat
problem would be solved. In some places
the rates are too high. and at others too

SPECIAL MESSAGE POSSIBLE.
President Mckinley May Recommend
That Congress Take Steps to Re-
lieve Flood Sufferers.

Washington. April 6.-The cabinet meet
ing to-day lasted a little over an hour and
was devoted almost entirely to the consid-
Grafton of the question of sending special
message to congress calling attention to the
propriety and urgency of legislation for the
relief of the flood sufferers. Secretary AL
ger presented all the kilograms in his pos
session from the governors of the states
in the flooded districts and the president
placed before the cabinet the data submit
ted to him by the delegation which called
yesterday. 1t was the unanimous opinion
of the cabinet that special message should
go to congress tomorrow.
President Mckinley may abandon his idea
of sending special message to congress,
however. as it is thought that such action
is rendered unnecessary by the passage by
the senate yesterday of the Bate resolu-
tion diverting for the relief of the flood
sufferers the uneXpended balance of the
appropriations made from time to time to
meet contingencies in connection with chol-
era and other epidennics.
Mr.. Mckinley sent for Secretary Alger
late this afternoon and had consultation
on the subject. Since the senate had al
ready initiated such legislation as he would
propose in his message. the question was
as to whether action by him was not rem
reached as to the message. Should he send
in Il message. it is proba BILE that he will
recommend a specific appropriation of eth
er sl50.0O0 or s2OO,OG0, and it is possible, in
the event he does not send to congress a
formal message. that he will transmit the

TRYING TO HOLD PARKS UP.
Buy SHOWS Antiquated Print
ing Outfit.

Topeka, Eas.. April 6.-(Special) A few
of the administration Populists are at
tempting TO persuade State Printer-elect
]. Parks to crawl out of his contract with
printer, for the purchase of the latter 5
printing plant. They insist that Parks
buy Shows old plant because Snow is a
Populist. The Hudson plant is modern in
every particular, while the Snow plant is
anuquated and worn out. Parks is not
likely to pay any attention to their de-
mapdS. He says that it is simply mat
ter of business with him. and that he can
not afford to let sentiment cut any figure
whatever in the case. Governor Leedy is
one of the Populists who laid down on
Parks in favor of Snow He told the state
printer-elect that Snow was a Populist in
hard luck. and that the party owed it TO
him to take. his plant off his hands. Parks
said that if the party. owed the debt
collection should he taken up to buy the
plant of Snow. but that the party could
NOT expect him to saddle the load onto
himself.
The Pops charge. on the authority of
George W. Crane, a Republican publisher.
that Parks entered into deal with Hud-
son during the session of the legislature
whereby Parks was to purchase the Hud-
son plant and Hudson was to use his in
fiuence toward preventing a threatened
cut in the state printing fees.
A story is being told tonight purporting
to be the inside history of the election of
]. S. Parks as state. printer and his deal
with Major Hudson for his plant. As the
story goes. on the night of the caucus on
state printer. when W. l.. Brown, of King
man. found out the he could not be NOM
mated. a deal was made whereby he was
TO throw his strength to Parks and secure
his nomination, and. in consideration of
this. he was to receive one-third of the
profits for the next two years. The deal
was brought about by Speaker Street and
Senator Fields. Brown carried out his con-
tract. hut after the election Parks kicked
out. Then Brown had Il bill introduced in
the legislature to reduce the fees of the
state printer as a retaliatory measure. In
order TO defeat it. Parks had to form a CO.
alition with Major Hudson. and it was then
that the deal was made whereby Parks is
to obtain possession of the Hudson plant.

AID FOR CYCLONE VICTIMS.
Commercial Club Approprintes 800
for the Chandler SufYerers-Site
for the Benton Statue.

The Commercial Club last evening decid-
ed to appropriate 500 for the relief of the
Chandler, o. T., cyclone sufferers. Secre-
tary Clendening read communication
from the Ladies' Relief committee of that
city, asking for aid. Individual subscrip-

amount appropriated by the Commercial

amount given by that organization as

Commercial Club from the committee hav-

at Ninth, Main and Delaware streets. is
considered by the committee to be the best
location for the statue. An effort to secure
subscriptions 10 the monument fund will
be made in the near future.
D.. B. Kirk. from the manufactures COM
mittee, reported that building had not
yet been secured for the proposed home

that all the buildings We have looked at

on us a realization of the fact that X ansas
City needs building suitable for such
purposes as. the proposed home products
show. The committee, however. has no rec
ommendation to make in this matter. 1t
has in view two buildings, and hopes to be

Dean was the originator of a system of

up the market from day to day and then
scalping it. He had brokers on all the ex-
changes. and as prices fluctuated the brok-
ers would take advantage of the fluctua-
tions and close out their holdings. 1t is
claimed that in this way the E. S. Dean
Company paid 30 per cent in dividends in
cash in less than six months While the
liabilities were limited, the profits were un-
limited.

profits, divided them pro rata among in

NOW FOR THE SUPREME TEST.
Bear the Heaviest Burden
of the Flood. -.

Vicksburg, Miss. April 6.-The river to-
night shows a rise of two-tenths in the
last twenty-four hours and now registers
4S.4, the highest point touched this year.
The slight temporary relief afforded by
the four or five crevasscs higher UP the
river is now felt to be at an end and the
water is finding its way again into the
main channel of the Mississippi via the
YaZoo river, 1t is now only question OF
three or four days when the mighty crest
of the flood will huri its force against the
embankments. The weakest point of the
fifth district is that below the mouth OF
the fazoo river at Delta. Here hundreds
of men. volunteer and convict. are work.
ing like beavers to strengthen the levee.
The consultation of engineers of this dis
trict will be held tomorrow to take united
action in fighting the flood.

try The supreme question is the dura-
ton of the flood. If the lower levees along
Louisiana and Southeastern Arkansas
should hold, which 1t is believed they will
not do, the emptying of the delta and st.
Francis basin will be slow. II they break
and the river continues to fall at Cairo,
the upper St. Francis basin and the delta
will be clear of water by May 5. If this
should prove true there will be diff
ficulty in growing cotton. But breaks in
Louisiana and Southeast Arkansas will
hold water in that territory until the mid
die of May. far after the usual time for
planting cotton in that territory. The riv-
Ell at Memphis is stationary tonight.
Coahoma, Miss. April 6.-For while to-
day the water rose two feet an hour until
all the low country was filled. 1t is to-
night over three-fourths of the town. and
by morning will cover all but the very high
est places. Many families have been forced
to Leave their homes and move into box
cars furnished by the railroad company.
No fatalities have occurred yet. but the
work of rescuing will be more dangerous
as the water rises.
The railroad company will sustain loss
in bridges and track that are washing lit
