JAMES R. HALLOWELL DEAD.
The Well-KnOwn Kansas Politician Passet
Away at His Sons Home In Craw f0rds-
Vile, Ind.-His Official Career

WICHITA, Kan, June 25.--Word was
received here yesterday that Col. James
R. Hallowell, for ten years a leading
lawyer and republican politician OF
southwest Kansas, was dead at the
home of his son in Charlottesville, Ind
Col. Halowell came to Kansas early In 1868,
locating in Cherokee county, At that time he
had little reputation to boast except a career
Of bravery and rapid promotion In the union
army division under Gen. Lew Wallace, but he
was politically ambitious and succeeded in be-
ing elected to the legislature. His next step
was to the state senate and before his term
had expired there he was appointed United
State district attorney for Kansas After serv-
Ice OF 81 years In this Office he resigned In 1884,
six months prior to the inauguration OF Grover
Cleveland. and came to Wichita He was once
elected congressman at large from Kansas
when 1t was thought that the population would
justify an additional congressman, but that
year the democrats had control Of congress and
refused to seat Mr.. Hallowell In 1884 he was
delegate from the Third congressional dis
trict to the republican national convention OF
Chicago. Soon after he came to Wichita In
1890 he was nominated for congress at Dodge
City and after memorable campaign he was
beaten by Jerry Simpson by nesrly 10000 ma
jority, The ambition Of Mr.. Hallowell's life
was to go to congress and his defeat crushed
him. He left Wichita two years later, an in
valid, and for the last three years his death
has been looked for by his friends every day.

Even Talk Of a FOurth Call.

WASHINGTON, June 25-It Is said at
the white house that the passage of
the Hawaiian resolution by the senate
will be the presidents signal for the
issuance of third call for volunteers.
Troops will be needed to garrison the

conclusion that this call will be made
and there is already talk of a fourth
call, it having been determined by the

THE BANKRUPTCY BILL.
The Conference Report on the Measure
Adopted BY the Seaats-Ths 0ensral
Deheisncy Bill Reported.

WARRINGTON, June 25-At the open.
ing Of the senate's session yesterday,
Senator Hale. Of Maine. reported from
the committee on appropriations the
general deficiency bill and announced
that he would, at an early date, call 1t
up for consideration. He also reported
from the naval affairs committee bill
comforting authority upon the presi'
dent to appoint five naval cadets dur
ing the next year TO the naval acade'
my. The bill went over on objection.
A bill TO increase the efficiency OF
the quartermaster's department OF the
army and authorizing the secretary OF
war to make such distribution OF the
force Of his department as he may deem
expedient was passed. The bill pro-
vides for the appointment Of 90 assist
ant quartermasters in the volunteer
army with the rank Of captain.
Senator Hoar, OF Massachusetts,
called up the conference report upon
the bankruptcy bill After Senator
Nelson, one of the conferees had made
statement explaining the provisions
OF the measure a vote was taken and
the report adopted, 4S to ID.
Senator Allison, of Iowa, presented
an additional partial report upon the
sundry civil appropriation bill and
said he hoped to have the report con-
sidered the next day.
The Hawaiian resolutions were then
laid before the senate and upon the
demand of Senator Pettigrew they were
read. Senator McEnery, Of Louisiana,
resumed his speech, begun Thursday,
discussing at length the employment
of contract labor on the islands. The
principal ground of Senator McEnery's
objection TO the annexation Of Hawaii
was that it would, he apprehended,
paralyze the industries OF the south.
Senator Turley, OF Tennessee, who
was recognized upon the conclusion OF
Senator McEnery's speech, then began
legal argument against the pending
resolutions.
A bill was passed providing for the
retirement on full pay Of Cassius G.
Foster, United States district Judge
OF the district OF Kansas, and the ap.
pointment of another Judge. The
senate then, at $40, went into execu-
tive session and soon afterwards ad-
iourned.

Landing Of Skaters Invading Army Near
Santiago said to Have Made Little
Impression In Spain.

LONDON, June 24.-The Madrid cor.
respondent OF the Times says: 1.-THE
American landing at Santiago de Cuba
has made little impression here. No
body doubts the ability of the town to
resist for considerable time, while,
even If it should be captured, matters
will not be advanced much, as the con-
centration of the American efforts at
Santiago will give Gen. Blanco time
to complete his preparations for the
main struggle. This change in the
American plan Of campaign, as shown
in the Santiago expedition, is expected
rather to prolong than to curtail the
duration of the war"
