BRYAN APPROVES II.

Voting the Credit of S5O.OoO.OOO.

Atlanta, Ga. March 10-Wflliam J.
Bryan spent a short time in this city yes
terday on his way to Macon. where he was
to address the Democrats of that
city last night. Mr. Bryan was question
ed as to his views on the Cannon appro-
priatioB. and said:
7 am glad congress acted promptly and
unanimously. In fact. it might have been
better to make it a hundred million to
show the world that congress and the
American people. without regard to polit-
zeal differences, are ready to support the
administration in any action necessary
for the protection of the honor and well
fare of the nation.
The apprOpTia ton does not mean war
a promise Of hberahty at this time may
lessen the probability of war and in the
end prove a wise economy never be-
lieved that the recognition of belligerency
would result in war; but in the present
crisis it is useless to discuss what might
have been When quiet is restored the
people can consider the past more calmly;
but in the face of danger our people
should stand as one in the nations de-

Mr.. Bryan paid a graceful compliment

News of the Kansas State De-
partmentS.
Secretary of State Bush Sug-
gests the Licensing
OF AUTHORIZATIONS
In This Way Wildcat Corpora
tfOns Could Be Suppressed.
ESbb McNaU Gets After Thorn
as B. Reed.
OF ALL CORPORATIONS

Secretary of State Bush is for licens-
ing all corporations of profit the same
as insurance companies are licensed IN
this state. He says that there is no
legislation more badly needed than a
new corporation law, and if reelected
his efforts at the next session Of the
legislature will be mainly directed to-
ward securing such a law.
Mr. Bush would place the corpora
lions on exactly the same footing as the
insurance companies. Each year he
would force them to file an annual re
port and take out a license, paying a
small fee, probably not more than 81,
and give the right to transact business
only TO licensed corporations In this
way, he reasons, corporations could De
forced into compliance with state laws
These laws Mr.. Bush would nave very
different from the present ones HIS
idea Of correct legislation cOntemplates
the payment to the state or a lee OF
from SO TO $25. together with Oue-Ienth
OF 1 per cent on every dollar OF capital
stock by every home corporation tax
ing out a charter, and the payment OF
a certain fee by every corporation char-
tered under the laws of another state
for authority to transact business IN
Kansas.
BY making every corporation char
tered under the laws of the state, SAID
Mr. Bush TODAY pay Oue-tenth OF per
cent for every dollar OF capital stock,
wildcat corporations would be done
away with entirely BY wildcat c0rpo-
ratfOns 1 mean those that organize
with thousands and sometimes millions
of dollars of capital stock, when not
dollar is paid in. The representatives
go out and gull the people into buying
stock with the glitter Of an enormous
capital, which, in reality, doesn't eX-
ist-
Our present laws governing corpora
tions really discriminates against the
home corporations in favor OF the cor
porations chartered under the laws or
other states There is no provision re-
curing corporations that are not CHAR
tered under the laws of Kansas to make
a report to this department. and they
are free from other requirements as
well I believe they should be made TO
pay a heavy fee for authority to trans
act business in the state
Mr. Bush is probably better acqua1nt-
ed with the workings of Kansas corpo-
ra1ions than any Of his predecessors
were during their terms Of office The
law requiring annual reports to be
made has not been lived up 10 by the
corporations for years, and now MI
Bush has undertaken the work OF en-
forcing it. He says that if he remains
in office another year. he will make ev-
cry corporation OF profit, either report
its condition, or give up its charter.

AN OVERSIGHT.
No Provision for Electrical Connection
Between Harbor Fortifications.

Washington, March 1O.-Gen. Greedy,
chief signal officer. has written the fol-
lowing letter to the secretary OF war,
who has forwarded it to Chairman
Cannon, of the house committee on ap-
preparations:
To the Honorable Secretary of War:
Sir:-The estimate of $50, 600 for ca
bles to connect electrically the fOrtifica-
tons in the harbors of New York,
Boston and Philadelphia has been
omitted from the sundry civil bill as
reported by the house of representa-
tives. The chief signal officer would
be derelict in his duty did he not call
the attention of the secretary of war
to the necessity of urging upon the SEN
ate such an appropriation. For seven
consecutive years the chief signal off,
Ger has unavaiGngly recommended the
Importance of this matter, reciting the
fact that some of our most important
defenses can only be reached by mes
senger.

bles between Alcatraz, Angel islands

RRopIE FOE WAR.
Says if Hostilities Break Out He VIII
Raise a Bowery Regiment

Pittsburg. Pa, March 1O.-If war is
declared Steve BrOdie Will equip a reg
iment. He said today:
The minute President Mckinley
calls time viii find me hustling TO get
back to the Bowery. I raised a com
pany of 400 men for COxey's army in
one day on the BOWery, and in case of
war with Spain I would raise a regf-
ment if it broke me to do it. We have
got to lick those dubs- III do my
share if every bum on the Bowery has
to give up his life
Talk about patriotism Every city
I go to I find the people just itching for
a chance to get at Spain.
I think a fight would do this coun-
try good So many men would be
killed that it would make more posi-
tions to go around and liven up bust
ness generally

ANrI-REBATE BOARD.
Nov Engages McNaIl's Attention
Also Thomas B. Reed

Also Thomas B. Reed
As announced yesterday, Insurance
Commissioner McNaIl today mailed let
tiers to all the life insurance companies
included in the "Anti-Rebate Board, -
informing them that they must with
draw from the board or cease doing
business in Kansas.
The letters are lengthy, covering three
pages OF letter paper, and review the
contract of the board, as well as state
Commissioner McNall's ultimatuu-
In the letter Commissioner McNall
states that the board is an organization
originated for the purpose of blacklist
ing individuals because they see fit to
donate what they have a perfect and
legitimate right to donate they desire "
Referring to Speaker Reeds connection
with the organization, he says:
1t appears that the Hon. Thomas B.
Reed, the present speaker of the house
OF representatives. is engaged in the en-
terprise OF being referee OF this Anti
Rebate Compact association, and the
principal business of the said referee,
as it is actually applied. is that when
the companies desire to blacklist any
certain individual, charges are made,
either orally or in writing, and the
referee sends out a notice and sets a
day for a hearing. and passes judgment
This bIacklists the Individual, and
from his decision there is no appeal
