Points About Kansas for the Young.

In May, 1842, John G. Fremont left
st. Louis on trip west. He came into
Kansas near the mouth of the Kansas
river and stopped at Choteau's trading
house, about six miles west of that
point. Taking Kit Carson for guide,
he started for the west June 10. Judg-
ing from his reports he passed over the
present site Of Lawrence, going on to
Topeka, where he crossed the river. He
followed 1t west to the Blue, and then
followed it TO the north, crossing TO the
Platte. In 1843 Fremont passed up the
Kansas river on second expedition.
The first free school in the State was
openeu by J. M. Armstrong at the town
of Wyandotte, now part of Kansas City,
Kas. A portion Of the Mormons began
their journey across the plains from
point near Atchison in the latter part
Of 1874.
Beginning with 1874 numerous scat
tering settlements were made In the
State. In 1850 President James X. Polk
issued his proclamation announcing that
Texas had been ceded to the United
States. Part of this was attached TO
Kansas. This included the present cOun-
ties of Morton, Stevens, Seward, Meade
Haskell, Grant, Stanton, that portion Of
Hamilton, Finney, Kearney and Gray

lying south Of the Arkansas river and
that portion of Clark and Ford lying
west of the Tooth meridian.
Congressman Willard p. Hall, Of Mis-
souri, submitted resolution In Congress,
December %, 1852, providing for the
organization of the territory Of the
Platte. 1t included all Of what Is now
Kansas and Nebraska. In the summer
of 1853 Fort Riley was established. In
1854 the fight in Congress over the ad-
mission Of Kansas began.

wide enough for a man to put in his

asked:

"They're gettin the boys together and
sayin that you shot a woman in the hold

"It's an internal lie," / said.
"Sounds that way to me-" said the
sheriff, "but two-thirds of the boys are
drunk, and it's a long time since they've

some torches down the street, collected

TIE VOLUNTEER ARMY BILL.
The House Adopts the Report of the
Ccnferees.

Interest in House proceedings this
morning was conferred on the bill pro-
viding for increasing the military estab-

of war, briefly known as the volunteer
bill, because IL invests the President
with authority to issue a call for troops.
Such brief and speedy legislation was
never before seen in the House
Before the House convened a plan of
action was agreed upon. and the confer
ees, drafted from the military commit
tees of both houses of Congress, met
shortly after 10 o'clock. to effect a COM
promise covering the amendments and
objections previously submitted by the
Senate on the bill as prepared by the
House.
Representatives Hull, Griffin and Hay
composed the House Conference Com
mittee, and they conferred with the Sen
ate committee without authority, having
not yet been appointed to the task, but
il had been arranged that they should be
as soon as the House convened. Before
noon the conferees had agreed
Fifteen minutes after the House con-
vened Speaker Reed appointed Repre-
sentatives Hull Griffin and Hay TO con-

object of arranging a compromise. In

The revised BILL with amendments as
prepared by the conference was then
read The amendments are principally
technical. and do not change the original
purpose of the bill. In less than five
minutes from the time Speaker Reed APP
pointed the conferees the bill embodying
their amendments was passed with out a
dissenting vote. 1t was at once sent to the
Senate.
Immediately after the reading of the
journal this morning the Senate went in
to executive session, owing TO the death

Was IL a Sranish Assassin

An Internal machine was delivered at
the White House yesterday addressed
to the President. The fact was care
fully concealed by those i'm authority,
but leaked out late last night AS far
as anyone can imagine the only plausi-
BILE theory is that the crime intended
was the result OF Spanish hatred of
Mr. Mckinley. IL will be remembered
that on the very day the Maine was
about to be destroyed. Dupuy de LONE
was Fastening away from America. and
there has been shrewd suspicion that
he and perhaps some of his American
coadjutors had knowledge of the &c

an attempt is made upon the life of the
President. We have not the slightest
idea OF connecting Senior Polo Bernabe
with the offense. That would be a
gratutous reflection upon a gentleman
against whom there is little to say ex-
cept that he is a Spaniard, and, conse-
quently. an enemy. 1t is agreeable to
the Spanish character, however, that
Immediately after the departure Of
Spain's representative the ultimatum Of
the nation should be answered by a
vile attempt on the part of some Span
lard, sneaking in our midst, to assas-
sinate the Commander-in-chief of our
Army and Navy.
There is absolute and hideous perfidy

in the act AS long as Mr.. Mckinley
could be made to use the American
power 10 aid Spain in crushing liberty
in Cuba he was an extremely popular
character in Madrid. Havana and wher-
ever else the yellow flag insulted the
earthly atmosphere. But when his own
people forced him into an attitude or
hostility, and compelled him TO execute
vengeance for the Maine massacre, he
became as unpopular as he had been
once admired.
1t was another Spanish internal ma
chine which blew up the Maine. The
coincidence we hope, will not be lost
upon our worthy President. 1t ought
to make him very belligerent now that
he knows how il is himself We are
quite prepared TO hear from some of
our Tory influences that the dirty crime
was attempted by someone who hated
Mr.. Mckinley for his apparent heart
lessness toward the women and children
Of. Cuba during the first year of his Ad-
ministration. The conclusive answer
to that is that, if that were the motive
for the attempt the Internal machine
would have been sent 10 another build
ing i'm Washington. where the real
author of the late pro-Spanish policy is
To be found. and not to the Executive
Mansion.
Murder in the dark is peculiarly
Spanish tendency and practice. SO
much so that. now we are at war not a
single Spaniard ought to be allowed To
remain within our territory.
