MAY NOT FUSE.
Some Populists in the Fourth Dis
trict Likely to Kick Out

An independent Populist candidate
for congress in the Fourth district is
liable as a result of the withdrawal of
John Madden and the nomination of H
S. Martin, as a fusion candidate. Thir-
ty Populists of Lyon county have in
augurated a movement to bring out an
Independent candidate, and have issued
an address to the PopuIists of the dis
trict over the name of Ned B. Fowler.
Fowler was chairman of the Populist
congressional committee, but after the
nomination of Martin refused to serve
longer. The address is as follows:
To the Popu1ist voters of the Fourth
congressional district of Kansas:
Do you desire to ratify the attempted
sale of yourselves to the Democratic
party which was consummated at the
recent congressional convention at En-
poria by abusing your confidence, pre-
Stunning upon your patriotism, suborning
your faithless leaders, confusing your
organization, and all the arts and tricks
of legerdemain in the catalogue of
scheming politicians, or are you still
Populists and do you desire to continue
such?
Do you wish to support and vote for
a candidate who represents your party
and principles? Thirty of the straight
PopuIists of this county here today de-
clared their desire to work and vote for
an independent candidate for congress.
If such is your desire, I invite you to
correspond with me with a view of ar
irving at a mutual understanding and
secure general action throughout the
district. Your letters shall receive at
tention. NED B. FOWLER.

The First battalion, under Maj. Whit
man, arrived Friday afternoon at four
o'clock and Immediately went into
camp. The Second battalion, under
Maj Metcalf arrived at $50. They put
up only a few tents and were late get

Third battalion, under Capt. Buchan,

Lieut.. Col. Little telegraphed to the
war department at Washington and ar
ranged to have the men kept over night
an the cars, thus saving them the very
disagreeable duty of pitching camp at
night.
Col. Little was the first officer to re-
port to General Otis since the latter
came here to take command.
All the battalions marched from the
ferry to the camp, a distance of six
miles. and every man stood the march
without inconvenience.
The camp is well arranged Water
has been piped to the grounds and camp
kitchens are working effectively. The
ground where the camp is located is
good to sleep on. but is bad for march
ing, as it is sand to the depth of nearly
u inches.

ARRANGES FOR A TREATY.
Negotiations With Great Britain to
Be Soon Formed.

Washington, May 23.-Negotiations
will begin this week between the Off
Gals of the state department, the Brit
ish ambassador, Sir Julian Pauncefotes
and the Canadian minister of marine,
Sir Louis Davies, in the nature of a
preliminary step toward a convention
or treaty between the United States
and Great Britain, clearing up numer-
GUS long-standing controversies exist
ing between this country and Canada
Efforts along that line have been
made in the past, but have failed of a
satisfactory conclusion.
The work is now taken up again un-
der more favorable circumstances, ana
the various parties interested are hope
full that a common ground OF under
standing will be reached.
The meeting will be rather general in
character and more of discussion of
what can be done than any arrange
rnent of exact terms of a convention.
The desire, however, is to arrive at an
understanding which can be submitted
to both governments. Closer relations
between the two countries may result

HARD TO BUY HORSES.
Uncle Sam Having Trouble in Getting
Steeds for the Cavalry.

Chicago, May 23.-The United States
cavalry is in immediate want of 10000
horses.
But it appears that Uncle Sam will
find it exceedingly difficult to recruit the
required number of animals within the
desired time, though his agents pay
from SIS to $25 more for a horse than
it would bring in the auction ring.
Lieuts. Ralph Harrison and John NJ.
Palmer of Col Young's cavalry regi-
ment, are in this city and have instruc-
lions to procure 1000 horses at the stock
yards within one week. L. F. Pruyn,
the auctioneer and expert at the horse
market says that they will find it diff
cult to procure that number within a
months time, since breeding has fallen
off and the number of riding and driv-
ing horses is smaller than it was six
years ago.
The government is as careful in its
selection of horses as it is in the selec-
ton of men, and the slightest blemish
will ordinarily cause horse to be re-
jected. 1t is thought that even now
that lesser defects are waived because
of the urgent need it will take at least
three months to procure the desired
number.

ALL ROLLING STOCK
Of All Kansas Railroads Must Be
Listed Says Mr.. Boyle.

Mandamus proceedings will be COM
menced in the supreme court this week
by Attorney General Boyle to compel
all Kansas railroads, with the excep-
ton Memphis and NJ. K. & T., to file a
full list of all rolling stock owned. 1t
will be an effort toward securing a I'M
form method of taxation as regards
rolling stock.
The proceedings will be in pursuance
of the following resolution adopted by
the board of railroad assessors some
time ago, which all roads with the ex-
ception of the two mentioned have re-
fused to comply with.
Resolved, That it is hereby ordered
by this board that all persons, compa-
or constructing a railroad in this state
shall return sworn lists or schedules to
this board showing the total number of
miles of railroad owned, operated or
constructed by such person, company
or corporation; also, the exact number
of miles of such railroad located in
Kansas; also, a full list of the rolling
stock, whether located within or with
out the state of Kansas, belonging to
or operated by such person, company
or corporation; and be it further
Resolved, That this report be made
to the end that this board may be en-
a led to apportion to this state for tax
alton such portion of said rolling stock
as the mileage in this state bears to the
total mileage of said railroad; and be it
further
Resolved, That this board assess the
rolling stock of all such railroads on
the basis indicated in the above resolu-
tons"
Heretofore Kansas railroads have
been reporting rolling stock in differ
ent ways, and the assessors were unable
to follow a uniform system in making
the assessment on this property. At
torney General Boyle says the suit is
friendly as the railroads are anxious
to have a uniform system of some kind
established.

low traders on the floor this morning

wore the colors. They simply saw them.

used as a football by a dozen men and
then hurried to the wheat pit By this
time he managed to make it known
that he was joking and explained that
he was wearing the colors for Dewey.
Cant you see that it's dead on Ma

He said afterward that he had no idea
