PINGREE NOT THERE YET.
Efforts of Some Populists to Fore
stall Republicans.

Lansing, Mich, March 10.-The COM
mittees of two wings of the Populist
party in this state are having some
difficulty in getting together in the
conference which is in progress here
today. The middle-of-the-road men
have a call prepared for convention
to be held in Grand Rapids, which
shall nominate Governor Pingree for
governor in advance of the Republican
state convention.
Chairman Ewing of the fusion COM
mittee said: IF these Grand Rapids
fellows think harmony means simply
getting over onto their planks and
then call an early convention to NOM
mate Pingree, they will find there won't
be any getting together. The force of
events will eventually drive Pingree to
the reform forces, but he is not there

Topeka. Kan. March 10.-The Populist
administration of the state of Kansas
gave out startling public address today,
one bristling with severe criticism of the
recent decision of the United States SUI
Dreme court in the Nebraska maximum
freight rate case. The address is partic-
ularly significant in that Governor Leedy
has already taken steps preliminary to
the calling of the state legislature in spe-
cial session, with the especial purpose of
enacting a maximum freight rate law
While the address is given out over the
signature of Governor Leedy, it had first
been approved by Chief Justice DOster of
the state supreme court, and other prom
inent Populists.
MAY GET INTO JAIL.
In giving the address to the reporters.
Governor Leedy said:
How long do you suppose a man can
write treason like this without getting in
to jail? You may put my signature to it
and make il a signed statement. so that
if anybody goes to Jail it Will be me-.
The governor begins his address with
the statement that for year the press
dispatches have said that the opinion in
the Nebraska case would be adverse to
the state. Then he says:
THE opinion has been handed down,
and the Associated Press dispatches say
that it is a clean victory for the railroads
On the contrary, it is an unclean victory
in every aspect of the case. showing that
nc matter how carefully the robes of JUS

AUToNoMIsT PROGRAMME.


AUToNoMIsT PROGRAMME.
The Spaniards say the autonomist
programme promises nothing but Sor-
row and war, While General Gomez
himself has offered 10000, 900 and a
favorable commercial treaty with
Spain if independence is granted.
Moreover, they say that the autono-
mists' programme to disarm the volun-
teers would mean independence carried
out, since the insurgents would not be
disarmed.
Henri Lame, the newspaper CORE
spondent, was not compelled to leave
the country because of newspaper
work. but because of written charges,
accompanied by alleged proof, fur
nished to the autonomistic govern
ment by Senior Bruzon, governor of Ha-
Vana province, that he and others were
involved in the conspiracy responsible
for locating % dynamite bombs at va
rious points in Havana.
NEWSPAPER MEN DEPORTED.
Senior Bruzon demanded the expul-
sion of all newspaper correspondents,
on the ground that sensational stories
sent to the United States are liable to
create riots in Havana.
The Marquis de Montoro and Senior
Gown opposed a wholesale deportation,
saying lnaC the matter was very Sc
rious, and that it was the duty of the
autonomistic government not only to
preserve peace in Havana, but to pro-
mote good feeling in the United States.
Furthermore, they contended that not
all the correspondents should be under
the ban, but that selections should be
made of the guilty. They concluded
their reply to Senior Bruzon by saying
that it would be unwise to expel any
correspondents while the court of in
quiry was in session, lest it should
seem that the Spaniards dreaded the
publication of the truth about the
Maine explosion. They demanded ad-
ditional written charges, with proofs,
from Senior Bruzon. This was four
days ago, and nothing has been forth
coming.
1t is probable, however that certain
correspondents will be asked to leave
the island when the American court of
inquiry finishes it's work.

They cannot be naturalized; they can

QUOTES AUTHORITIES.

Continuing, the governor quotes Hare
on American Constitutional Law, and a
decision by Justice Woods of the United
States circuit courts. afterwards a su-
fourteenth amendment does not refer to
corporations, and declares snat the Woods
decision had been followed in California
Rhode Island and other states. from 1870
to 1882. when Justice Field and another
federal justice of the peace, named Saw
Yer. decided the other way; and since
then. whenever a corporation starts out
to commit highway robbery. pick a man 5
pocket or loot public treasury, it dis
guiseS itself as person. and goes on its
mission of plumber. Nobody but a slave
or knave will yield assent TO the hideous
distortion of meaning which Judge Har-
Ian gives to the word person., as used in
the fourteenth amendment, and upon
which he bottoms his infamous decision,
and which shows to what depths of in
iquity the supreme court of the United
states has descended.
Il desire" the governor said. "to quite
some of the decisions of the supreme
court of the United States before it went
into partnership with Morgan. Wander
bilt, Gould and company, in opposition
to the opinion they hold in the Nebraska
case"
Long decisions by Justice John Marshall
in 1880 are quoted.
In conclusion. Governor Leedy states
that his maximum rate bill will be pre-
scented to the Kansas legislature in such
must reverse its decision in the Nebraska
case. and he states that. IF the court
still pursues the corrupt and rotten prac-
tice that it has heretofore. by changing
its decisions TO suit the shifting interests

of their own.
