Kansas has had compulsory education
law many years, but it is and has been a
dead letter. The enforcement is placed
in the hands of the district board, which
means that in district about 10 or II
square miles in area the district officer
must compel his nearest neighbors to
send their children to school. To make
compulsory laws effective, there should

Run Between Ii Junta and
Dodge City.
The California Limited, Train No. 4,
known as the ''1yer," was nearly twelve
hours late Thursday, and the local officials
of the Santa Fee determined to utilize the
opportunity to break the record for fast
time between La Junta and Dodge City
q distance of 2O2.4 miles.
The delayed train arrived at the depot
at :35 p. m, and less than two minutes
time was utilized in making the change
of engines. Engine No. 1872, with Will
liam Parr, the Oldest engineer on the
western division, at the throttle, was at
tached to the five palatial Pullmans which
composed the train. which was in charge
of Conductor James H. Brown, Brake
men Maddux and Mootz. Trainmaster
Sears and Master Mechanic Forster
boarded the train at this point and kept
the time schedule which is given below.
The trip was made without accident or
mishap, but one stop being made-at Sy-
racuse for water. The previous best re-
cord for the same trip was three hours
and forty-seven minutes, held by Mr..
Parr, while the time of the last run was
three hours and forty four minutes
gain of three minutes. The average
number of miles per hour for the run was
54.7, and the highest speed attained was
between Mansfield and Pierceville, II
miles per hour. If it had not been for
the fact that construction work is in pro-
gress at one point on the line even better
time for the entire run would have been
made.
Following is the time schedule with the
number of miles:

The Atalanta is an iron built vessel

ton to read the joint note between
the lines" and to give it a suggest sc
character beyond the mild phra-res
adopted. This was not the generally
accepted view, however. The favora-
BILE manner of its reception was looked
upon as a wise move at this critical
juncture, for, without rejecting as an
intrusion these foreign suggestions,
they were so received as to give the
greatest promise of sympathy, rather
than opposition from the most power
full joint influences in the world.
At the capitol the situation was ar
IDENTIFY discussed among individuals
and came up in public debate il both
houses. Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
said he was ready to vote for a declara-
ton of war in discussing ar amend
ment to the sundry civil appropriation
bill. In the house a significant dec
laration was that of Gen. Grosvenor
who declared he believed wal was in
evitable. In fact, the speeches made
by Gen. Grosvenor in answer to
charges against the administration by
Mr.. Lentz, of Ohio, was an important
contribution to the Jews of Monday.
The Importance of Gen. Lees telc-
grams vas considered by members not
to have been over-cstimated and the
impression that the president was am
ply justified in withholding his mess
age become a conviction. This fact
WIS emphasized by the adjournment
until Monday of both houses.
The opinion in the senate end house
is that war must come. Even the
most optimistic of the conservative
senators have given up hope of u peace

(First Regul .r SESSION.
SENATE.

SENATE.
WASHINGTON, April when the
senate convened yesterday intense eX-
pectancy, amounting to excitement.
prevailed both on the floor and in the
galleries. The presidents message
had been positively promised, and its
coming was awaited with genuine
anxiety. Ten minutes after the SEN
ate convened consideration of the sHn
dry civil bill was resumed. and, with
the exception of eight minutes con-
sumed by executive session in which
Senator Davis announced that no IN tss-
age would be SEN in, almost the entire
session was consumed by the appro-
priatiOn bill. 1t vas practically com
pleted when laid aside for the day.
After waiting patiently in the gal.
leries and corridors of the house for
hours, many of them from eight o'clock
until shortly before three, the thou
sands who had come to near the presi-
dents message turned away weary
and disg .sted at the delay. Never
was there such disappointment at the
capitol. The members felt it even
mor keenly than the spectators and
for two hours afterward they stood
about the Hobbies discussing this latest
phase of the situation.
The news of the proposed armistice.
which came on the heels of the ar
nOuncement that Gen. Lee had cabled
for delay, received quite as much at.
tention as the request of Lee.
The debate in progress in the house
over the army reorganization bill at
tracted little or no attention. 1t was
completely overshadOwed by the more
absorbing question. Considerable OPP
position to the bill developed on the
ground that its provision for an extern
sion of the regular army in time of
war to 1O4.O00 men would be inimical
to the national guard and the vOlun-
tecr forces, upon which the country
had heretofore relied in time of stress.
There Will be a strong effort to recon-
nit the bill to-day.

(First Regular SESSION.
SENATE.


WASHINGTON, April Some sharp
wal talk was INDUCED in by the sem
ate yesterday, when consideration of
the sundry civil appropriations bill
was resumed, the question pending
was the amendment of Mr.. Pettus
(Ala.) providing for such improvement
of the harbor at Mobile as would ell
other supplies there.
Mr.. Nilsson tla.J, in charge of the
bill. made a point of order against the
amendment. This callad out a bit
ter speech by Mr.. Morgan CAla.}
who charged the appropria-
tions committee with discrimin-
ating against proper measures
and threatened to assist in disSolving
the committee. lie followed with an
argument showing the necessity for
the improvement proposed, holding
that it would open to the government
in time of war the coal fields of the
south and Unable it successfully 30
fight the reasonable monopoly that
had been formed to control the coal
supply of the country in the event OF
war.
The amcndman. was lost.
At two o'clock the bill had not been
completed. and was laid aside. the SEN
ate devoting the remainder of the al
tcrnoon to cuiOgicS of the late Senator
James Il. George, of Mississippi.
HOUSE.
There was a scene of great excite
ment in the house late yesterday after
noon during the consideration of the
Bill for the reorganization of the army.
1t was caused by Mr.. LcntZ. an Ohio
democrat, who made a vicious assault
OF the administration. charging that
the policy of delay was in the interest
of stock jobbers in Wall street. He al
legged that Wall street was in the pos
session of information that the mes
sage wouldno: go IL long before it was
known at the capital. and prOtited
heavily by the advance in the price of
stocks which resulted. He even
charged that there was no warrant for
the alarming statements about the sit
uation in Havana which were as justi-
flying the delay of the message.
Mr.. Lent speech created a profund
sensation and was met with an en-
phatic reply from Gen. Grosvenor. now
generally regarded as the adminiStra-
ton spokesman on the floor. Mr..
Grosycaor not only Indignantly denied
that there was Justification for the re-
ports. but held MIR. Lentz up to scorn
for alleging corrupt motives against
the president.
Mr.. Lentz disclaimed this. but the
irate friend of the president gave him
no mercy. He was thoroughly aroused.
and laid about him with Il veritlble
bludgcon. charging hal the democrats
were seeking political advantage, and
pay ing his respects to John J. McCock
and others. Before he concluded he
expressed the opinion that war was as
certain as that we would live until
n"vt week, unless it was avertcd by
SpIIG.
The debate on the army bill dcvel-
oped more and more opposition. Mr..
Hull tried to save the bill by agreeing
to strike ont all is provisions, even
the three battalion formation features.
hut It was in the end recomGitted-
f5J-61.
The house then adjourned until Mon
