Two witnesses, Della Richardson and

the result of quarrel and though she

OVERSIGHT THE MARK.
Kansas Populists Made a Mistake
in the Railroad Bill.

TOPEKA (Kans.), Jan. 2-The Pop
ulist leaders Of Kansas are confront
ed by serious problem. Both branches
of the Legislature have passed a rail-
road bill which railroad attorneys de-
clare is not worth the paper it is writ
ten on. 1t was announced to-day that
Governor Leedy had signed the bill,
but it turns out that he went to his
home at Lawrence without doing so
and that his failure to approve is
prompted by a. desire to confer with the
steering committee with a view to a
change in the bill and its re-enactment,
under a suspension of the rules
The Constitution gives the Governor
power to assemble the Legislature in
extraordinary session when a grave
emergency demands it. The "emer-
gency" set forth in Governor Leedy's
call, was the necessity of railroad leg
islation- Now the Legislature has
passed bill which does ilot meet this
emergency" until the first Monday in
April next, and one month after a reg
ular session of the Legislature shall
have adjourned.
The railroads intend to go into the
courts and fight the new law on this
ground and have announced that they
will carry the matter to the Supreme
Court Of the United States. They will
contend that no emergency exists and
that if it did exist the new law should
have been made operative at once. The
railroads will also contend on the
grounds that the title is not broad
enough to cover its purposes.

Labor Legislation Will Occupy It's

SPRINGFIELD Qll.), Jan. 1.-The

Der of other things to make the ses-
sion interesting. 1t will not be alto
gether without political interest, for
at this time it seems probable that an
attempt will be made at Congressional
reapportionment. The Republicans
will control both houses by majority
which will probably be sufficient to
pass any apportionment measure that
they may decide upon Nothing very

Session.

Are Marsha1ing Their Utmost

Figure in the Nebraska Legis1a-
ture-Tennessee Will Elect a
Democratic Senator.

HARRISBURG Pa.), Jan. 1.-The
General Assembly will open its biennial
session at II O'Clock Tuesday noon in
the new Capitol building. After the
Senate and House have organized, Gov
ernor Hastings will send in his biennial
message. Lists of standing committees
will hardly be ready to announce be-
fore the Inauguration Of Governor elect
Stone on January 18th, so that the Leg
islature will not get down to work in
earnest before February. There is a
strong sentiment among the Legislators
in favor Of a short session. Both Dem
ocrats and Republicans will caucus to-
morrow evening for the organization of
the houses. The Republicans have a
majority of seventy-four on joint bal
lot, and naturally expect to control
both houses. There are thirty-seven
Republicans and thirteen Democrats in
the Senate, and 127 Republicans and
seventy-one Democrats and six fusion
lists in the House.
Senator Quay's friends have fixed
Tuesday evening for the Senatorial
caucus, and the only question now is
whether the 127 Republicans will go
into the meeting. If they do, everybody
admits that Quay will control a major
ity, and that he will be nominated. His
opponents are making an effort to keep
enough members out of the conference
to prevent nomination, and if they
can do this they expect to defeat the
Senator's reelection Congressman
Dalzen Of Pittsburg and Charles c..
Tubbs Of Tioga are the other avowed
aspirants for the Senatorial nomina-
ton.
