day, says:
Today all the best authorities agree
that the government has decided to ac-
oept the American conditions The
American reply to Spain's reply for ex-
plantations, reached Madrid Friday eve-
ming. The text has not been divulged,
but it is known that it brought little
consolation.
President N McKinley turned deaf ear
to the suggestion that Porto Rico might
be left to Spain and compensations
sought elsewhere. Regarding the Philip
pines, the reply was not altogether salts
factory, but it was of such nature that
there was no longer any necessity for
postponing a decision on the main ques
tion.
Meantime Senior Sagasta's extensive
consultations seemed to leave no doubt
that the nation wants peace. do not
mean to say that all declared this In plain
language. On the contrary there was a
deal Of reticence. Some patrons had more
or less clearly expressed the idea that the
best men in the country would patri-
otically forget for the moment all person.
al and party considerations and cordially
and disinterestedly endeavor to assist
the government in it's difficulties.
This idea, however, If it was ever Sc
riously entertained was not realized. Per-
haps one or two acted in this spirit, but
in most cases the cloven foot Of the poll
tician peeps out occasionally under the
flowing robes of the patriot. Some only
half concealed their suspicious that Senior
Sagasta, in protesting to consult them
anxiously in a great crisis OF the ma
tional history, was in reality playing the
part of an old parliamentarian and astute-
ly laying traps for his political rivals.
If these suspicious had any real founda-
tion, Sagasta must be consummate
actor, for in all the interviews he spoke
with apparent frankness and sincerity
and personal disinteresteduess that might
well have disarmed all but the most hard
ened politicians. Even when it was sug-
gested that he ought to leave to:more capa-
BILE hands the task of concluding peace.
he displayed no ilnpatience or resent
mert. He even showed the most perfect
courtesy to Senior Romero y Robledo,
listening with rapt attention to his
absurd proposals. AS to the context of
Spain's reply, the oracles differ. Some
say it contains no contentious matter, ao-
cepts simply in principle the four de-
mands Of President McKinley's first com.
munication and suggests an immediate
suspension of hostilities. On the other
hand, others affirm that 1t is prefaced by
an account of the origin of the war tend
ing to prove that, as Spain was in no
sense the aggressor, she ought not to bs
expected to pay war indemnity either
in money or territory.
Though the King, according to the con-
stitution, has the right to declare war
and make peace, any cession of nation
al territory requires the sanction of the
Cortes and any minister consenting to
such cession without this sanction is
liable, according to the penal code, to
Imprisonment for life. 1t will be neces-
sary, therefore, to convoke the Cortes
some time before the treaty of peace is
ratified, but the government has not yet
decided at whatEstage OF the proceedings

NO MONEY FOR NEW YEAR.
The Governors Sudden Trip Without
Signing the Appropriation Bill
Makes Trouble


The members of the legislature will
not be able to draw any money from
the state treasury until next Tuesday
at least, and consequently there is con-
stdera bic feeling among some of the
members whose pocketbooks have been
f1attened during their stay in Topeka.
The appropriation bill went from the
house to the senate and was passed by
that body yesterday morning. Both
houses railrOaded the bill through as
swiftly as possible in order that they
might get their money, but the bill was
not sent to the governors office until
after dinner, and at noon Governor
Leedy received a telegram calling him
to Kansas City, and he left on the first
train without signing the bill.
He cannot return to Topeka in time
to sign the bill and have it printed this
afternoon, and It is of no use for mon
etary purposes until it is published in
the State Journal, which will be
Monday afternoon, provided Governor
Leedy signs it by that time.
Governor Leedy is coming in for a
large and generous share of criticism
for going off and leaving a good many
of the members broke" over Sunday,
over Sunday, inasmuch as they have
no railroad passes and cannot buy a
ticket unless they can borrow the
price"
The only people who are glad of the
failure of the governor to sign the bill
are the clerks in the state auditors
office. Today is pay day for the state
officers and if the appropriation bill
had been published today all of the
legislators and clerks of both houses
would have made a run on the audi
tors office for their warrants. AS there
are about two hundred of the state
employees who draw their warrants di-
rect from the auditors office, and as
there are about three hundred mem
bers and employees of the legislature, it
would crowd the auditors Office to
audit Ave hundred accounts.

from the incoming state administrator
or at least attempt to do so.
There is a man in Topeka whoSs
name is E. J. Graft He enjoys the dis
t1nction Of being a brother TO Congress-
man Joseph V. Graft of Illinois Tire
Topeka Graf has never been prominent
IN politics and in fact was not acquairt-
ed with any of the Republican mana
gers a week ago.
But for some reason which Nj. Leland
and Congressman Graft OF Illinois may
give the Topeka Mr. Graf was sent
for by Mr.. Leland who informed him
that he wished to do something for him
and asked him if he had any political
aspirations. Mr.. Graft was mystified
but Mr.. Leland explained that he had
some influence with the state admins
tratiOn and he desired to see him Sc
cure a place Mr. Graf Of Topeka be-
gan to warm up and before he left Mr.
Leland he became enthusiastic. He was
told that for forms sake he had better
secure the endorsement OF the local
bosses.
But the local men have heard OF the
scheme and it has been traced 10 its
source and indignant ton at Mr.. LeIand's
interference is growing
Chairman CLANCY of the Republican
county central committee was seen to-
day but refused to talk for publication
except to confirm the report that Mr..
Graft had been to him for an endorse
ment for a position and that he has not
yet given it. He admitted that he had
not been acquainted with Mr. Graf be-
fore he called upon him for the en-
dOrsement for some position under the
state administration.
Mr.. Graft is not particular what Do
sitiOn he secures but he says that he
wants something good and with the In
Huence of such a man as Mr. Leland he
feels that he is in a safe position
The local Republicans think that the
reason Mr. Leland is interfering in the
interest of Mr.. Graft is because he
wants to place Congressman Graf un-
der obligations to him.
