5 NEWS.
ACCOMPLISHED NIT.
The Robber Eleventh Shows That the Sew
enrh Was Sunday school.

Denver, April THE first half of the
S6th day OF the session was spent by the
house doing nothing. The consideration
of the Hart appropriation bill providing
for the judicial, Legislative and executive
expenses for 1878 was fought by the
minority. Three times the house went
into committee of the whole and by the
ilibustering led by Bo Sweeney was each
time lifted again. The entire morning
was wasted.
The senate upon convening went into
committee of the whole, but upon request
of Senator Rueter the committee was
lifted in order to consider the report of
the conference committee on the house
amendments to the charter bill. Senator
Rueter then reported that no agreement
had been reached and asked that the
committee be discharged. Senator Evans
objected to this and the report went over.
The senate then passed two bills on
third reading, one of which was Brom-
ley's bill reducing the number and com
pensation of legislative employees. This
will make deep cut in expenses. After
some other minor discussions the senate
adjourned at noon.

Mr.. Chamberlain, in presenting the
toast of "The Prosperity of the Institute" :"
stated the growth of the British empire,
during which he said: 1--WE have now
reached the true conception of our en-
pire, for think we may speak of our
colonies as parts of ourselves. We feel,
moreover, that our rule over the territor-

it adds to the happiness of the popula-

people who sympathized with the Prem
pahs and the Lobengulas, but you cannot
have omelets without eggs Qaughtet), and
you cannot destroy slave traffic and slave
raiding without the use of force. Hear,
hear.) In such expeditions as those to
Benin, Nupe, Ashanti and Nyas, il is
inevitable that there should be some loss
of life, but for every lite that is lost there
comes prosperity to a hundred. We are
convinced that we have and shall con-
tinue to have the strength to fulfill our
high mission. We shall protect ourself,
governing our colonies with all our
strength against any foreign aggressor."

POLICEMEN LAID OFF
That Had a Scheme to Shirk
Their Duty.

Patrolmen Campbell and Rucker, of
Chief Steele's braves, are taking a ten
days vacation.
This vacation is not voluntary, but
was granted by the board of police
commissioners. 1t is a story of misfor-
tune.
Patrolmen Campbell and Rucxer this
month have had the South Topeka
beats at night. They have gone about
after dark together, not particularly for
companionship, but to inspire dread in
the hearts of wOuld-be offenders. But
PatrOlman Campbell got tired about 8
o'clock every morning. Accordingly, he
would go home at that time and Patrol
man Rucker would report something
like this at 4 and 5 o'clock:
Campbell and Rucker at the MiSSOu-
ri Pacific freight depot"
One night Campbell left at his usual
time, but he took the key to the depot
with him. When o'clock came, Ruck-
er discovered the mistake and he set
about to find CampbelPs house. Arriv-
ing at the place where he thought his
fellow officer lived, he struck match
to look at the door. The resident,
named Kennedy, was about to shoot
the officer for a burglar. Next morning
Mr.. Kennedy found a letter in his
front yard addressed to Rucker, and
he gave it to Chief Steele. Rucker had
dropped it.
Chief Steele determined to see for
himself what was going on. so he went
to South Topeka after midnight and at
3 o'clock saw Campbell go to his home
At o'clock Rucker reported that both
officers were there.
The police board suspended the two
officers from duty until November 1.
Campbell is brother-in-Iaw Of ex-Gov
Lewelling. Rucker is the colored police
man who shot G. J. Eddy's dog last
spring at Eighth and Kansas avenue,
and was suspended for it.
The fact of the officers being caught
action was suppressed and an effort
! made to keep it a secret.

IN BLACK AND WHITE.
Judge Horton Allows Street
Artist Try His Hand.

Ex-Chief Justice A. H. Horton sat on
a stool at the corner of Seventh street
and Kansas avenue at 1:3O this afternoon
while a street black and white artist drew
a portrait.
Judge Horton took his place on the stool
carelessly with the remark: 81 guess you
can try your hand on me-" The artist
looked him over. sharpened his pencil and
commenced, oblivious to the fact that he
had before him one of the most distin-
guished of Kansans, but it is as well that
he did not know, for it might have made
him nervous.
People who saw Judge Horton sitting
on the stool stopped and soon a good
sized crowd had gathered. "A good pic
ture." said one who watched the progress
of the outlines. THAT is just how he looked
while he was arguing the stockyards
case" said another
But Judge Horton heard nothing. Per
fectly dignified, he sat bolt upright, look
ing neither to the right nor the left, and
finally when he felt tired he got up and
said: "Win that do?' The man told him
that it would, and he finished the pic
ture without his model and handed it to
the ex-chief justice and received the
price, Is cents. Judge Horton took the
picture away with him.

build a factory and then will go to

Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, consul general in
Cuba, has announced to his friends that
he expects to return to Cuba about De

He will be accompanied by Walter B.
Barker, United States consul at Sagua

same mission-tO furnish the President
with definite information at to the stu
alton in Cuba.
Mr. Mckinley has decided to make no
change of consular officers on the island
until the rebellion in one way or an

Cuba will, the President believes be
better subserved by officers who have
had experience on the island.
