Feeding Privilege VIII Remain.

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, March SO.-The
feeding in transit privilege on live
stock is not to be withdrawn by the
railroads on April in the state of
Kansas Two months ago the rail
roads announced that because OF the
manipulation of expense bills by ship
pers they would charge full local rates
for the reshipment of cattle to the
Kansas City market which were
stopped in transit for the purpose Of
being fed and fattened. The Santa
Fe and Rock Island railroads served
notice on all the other Kansas City
lines to-day that they had decided not
70 withdraw the privilege This action
will force all competing roads into line.

paign. to embrace every comm unity in

Use will be made that the state

that will probably be done. 1t was
given ont in the governors office that
the railroads of Kansas had already
pledged Sl5, 900 to the fund. The gov
ernor thinks that AT least $50, 900 should
be raised, This will leave $4,000 for
the commission to raise, and it is be-
lieved that there will be no difficulty

house In Reno county was burned
down, throwing the teacher out OF em'
ployment. The teacher demands pay
for the full term and member Of the
school board and |. L. Dayhof, the
county superintendent, have written
State Superintendent Stryker asking
if the district is liable for the full
terms wages. Stryker referred the
matter to George r. Smelling. assist
ant attorney general, who rendered
an opinion that II no provision was
made in the contract to the
contrary, and if, after the teacher
had made reasonable effort to secure
another school, he had failed to do so,
the district would be compelled to pay
wages for the full term, whether there
was school or not. The same decision
would hold 10 cases where schools are
dismissed on account OF contagious
diseases. Smelling says the board
should make provision against such
emergencies in the contract. This de-
cision is in opposition to all former
ones along this life.

WARRINGTON, March 3O.-The revolt
In the house against further delay OF

yesterday in conference Of republican
members whose ideas are In accord
snce with positive early course.
About so representatives attended, rep
resenting all sections Representative
Hopkins, OF Illinois, member OF the
ways and means committee, presided
Representative Joy, Of Missouri, was
secretary. The meeting was called
TO take steps to secure I'M
mediate Intervention in some
form, and the recognition OF Cuban
independence. 1t was pointed out
that, while it was fit that the execu'
tive should be given, as he has been, a
reasonable time In which to advise, 1T
was exclusively the function OF con-
gress to declare war, commence hos
tilities or take action Of that character.
The remarks made carried the view
that a mere recognition Of belligerency
was not to be considered, for it would
not of itself bring cessation OF hos
tilities, and that only Intervention,
armed and immediate, and recognition
OF independence would be considered.

New ORLEANS, March 80 Judges
Pardee, Mccormick and Swayne, in

case. The latter sought to prevent
Texas roads from giving the Mallory
line rates which they would not grant
plaintiff, eventually instituting a boy
colt. The court refused to maintain
the injunction granted.
The legal points passed upon by the

Has No Discretionary Powcra

JEFFERSON CRY, Mo-, March 80. Tho
supreme court rendered an important
opinion regarding the authority OF the
presiding officer Of . Legislative BODY
to refuse to sign bill which he deems
has not been legally passed by the
body over which he presides The
decision was rendered in the case OF
state ex rel North and South railroad
VS. E. f. Meir, president OF the
city council of St. Louis, to compel
him to sign the REALTORS bill. This
court, in the opinion by Judge Brace,
holds that the signing Of the bill is q
ministerial act and the president has
no discretionary powers whatever.
He must be guided by the records.
The opinion distinguishes between the
power of an executive, holding that
the powers of a governor are supreme
and mandamus will not be required to
compel him to perform any duty.
