Kansas Legislators Adjust Differ

TOPEKA, Kan, March THE Kan
sas legislature finished its business to-
day, and will adjourn sine die tomor-
row. A deadlock that has prevented
all legislation for three days was bro
ken tonight by the yielding Of the Re-
publican house to the demands Of the
Populist senate.
The strife grew out Of a judicial con-
test in the district composed Of Ne
maha, Brown and Doniphan The re-
turns were in favor Of Judge Brown, a
Republican, but his Populist opponent,
Falcon. filed a contest before the state
senate, in accordance with the Kansas
law
The senate postponed action on the
contest until near the close Of the ses-
sion, when the majority brought in
bill appropriating $4,000 to defray the
expenses of the senate sitting in spe-
cial session tc consider the contest. The
Republicans denounced this as a sal
ary grab and killed the measure,
Whereupon the Populist senator's add
ed the appropriation to the executive
and judicial appropriation bill as a.
rider. Then came the deadlock, the
Populists absolutely refusing to pass
the appropriation bill without the rider

Michigan Democrats May Drop Part
of New Title.

KALAMAZOO, Mich, March THE
eve of the Democratic state convention
tc nominate justice of the supreme
court and regents of the state univer-
sity finds five avowed candidates for
justice. They are Thomas E. Bark
worth, Of Jackson; Allen Morse, of lone
Judge d. H. Durand, of Flint; Will
liam G. Howard. of Kalamazoo, and
James O'Hara, of ST. Joseph. These
five names will probably be presented
tomorrow.
The convention will be called to order
at the Academy Of Music at noon to-
morrow, with Justice Whiting, eX-con-
gresham and late Democratic candi-
date for governor, as temporary chair
man.
1t seems to be the feeling among the
delegates that the resolutions to be
adopted will take advanced ground as
regards silver and anti-expansion. Con-
siderable of a struggle is looked for
the "Democratic-Peop IS Union Silver
Party being distasteful TO many Of
the old-line Democrats, who want it
changed back to Democratic" The
present title was given the party in
1896, when the Democrats and all the
silver element in the state fused un-
der it. The silver Republicans will
probably contend for the retention of
the present title.

was due in the Roads this morning,
but has rot yet been sighted.
The storm came UP unexpectedly and
fears are expressed that many vessels
have been caught off the Virginia and
North Carolina coast, and may be in
danger. The life savers from Cape
Henry to Hatteras are doing day duty,
but find it very difficult to patrol the
beach.

NEW YORK, March with the
merchant marine code flags IN. M"
flying from the,top Of her foremast, the
steel screw steamship jamestown, the
crack vessel of the Old Dominion line,
from Norfolk, was sighted by the
Sandy Hook observer at 4:40 o'clock
this afternoon.
The two flags f1uttering at the steam
er's foretop meant that the steamer,
which carried 112 passengers and crew,
and miscellaneous cargo. worth near
ly a quarter Of a million dollars, was
on fire.
2 The Jamestow was then under full
speed. and approaching the bar. She
was plowing through the water at
sixteen knots an hour speed, in the
direction Of the Narrows. A stiff wind
was blowing across the incoming YES
sci. sweeping her from bow to stern.
Capt Richard B. Boaz was on the
bridge, his one idea being to get his
ship to her pier as quickly as possible.
The emoke was first seen issuing
from the fore matches at p. m. today,
and the captain called the crew to
fire quarters. Everything was done to
prevent the spread Of the fire. and full
steam was put On for port. The fire
boat met the jamestown at quarantine.
Capt. Boaz refused to stop, but signal
ed to the commander Of the fire tug to
follow him to the pier.
Just two hours after the outbreak
the Old Dominion liner had reached
her dock and in a few minutes all the
passengers were landed.
There had been some excitement
among the passengers off Long Island,
but by the time the lower bay was
reached safety was assured.
During the run up several streams
of water and steam were thrown into
the hold, and after reaching her dock
the fire was extinguished after a few
hours work.
1t is not known what damage was
done to the cargo, but the vessel prac-
tically was uninjured.

curities, in 1873, they got $1,000, 900 from
the Bank of England, after victimiz-
ing other banks in Europe by means
of forged letters of credit Their idea
was to get $50, 100000 and then compro-

they failed and fled. George Bidwell
was caught in France and Austin Bid
