A HARD FIGHT.
The Supplemental Railroad Bill
Much Disfigured
And Probably Impaired, Passes
the House Thursday Evening.
THE MAXIMUM RATE
And Strike Sections Are Strick-
en- Out.

The Clemens bill supplemental to the
new railroad law, amended by striking
out the maximum rate and strike sec
tons which caused its defeat in the
senate yesterday, was passed by the
house Thursday evening by the scratch
vote of IS to 81 The bill originally gave
force to the new railroad law, but with
the two sections stricken out this force
as materially impaired The bill was
messaged to the senate this morning
Under the temporary suspension OF
the call of the house on the Breidenthal
banking bill. an unimpOrtant bill by
FairchiId, fixing the liability in railroad
accidents, on third reading on the house
calendar, was called up by Brown of
Pratt. and a motion made to strike out
all after the enacting clause and substi-
was the plan decided on to get quick
senate might have the opportunity OF
acting upon it again this morning
The move of the Populist leader pre-
cipitated a wrangle on the part of the
Republicans. but Speaker Pro TEN
Weilep. then in the chair stood by his
POpulist brethren and the substitution
was made. The amended bill was then
read and passed by the vote mentioned.
The striking out of the maximum rate
and strike sections of the bill does not
disturb its principal object, that of Civ
ing force to the new railroad law.

Washington. Jan. 6--The secretary of
agriculture has forwarded to congress

rule steadily pursued their investiga-

In some instances politics has had a

the removal of efficient officers. The
results of experiments in Alaska are
encouraging as several sorts of grain
and garden vegeta bles have been sue

To Be Paid for by Negro Taxes Only,
in North Carolina

Raleigh, N C.. Jan. 1.-TWO bills have
been introduced in the house of the
North Carolina legislature requiring all
railroads in the state to operate sepa-
rate coaches for white and coIored pas
SengerS.
One Of the bills is an exact copy of
the law now in force in Tennessee and
which has been declared constitutional.
The other is similar to it except that
it provides that any frst-class coach
may be divided into compartments sep
arated by a substantial partition in lieu
of separate coaches" A bill also was in
trOduced in the house to amend the
state constitution so as to provide that
'-au the moneys arising from the taxa

race for public schools shall be appro-
priated to the support of the public
schools of the cO1Ored race-'
The school fund is now proportional
according to population. the negroes
getting as much per capita as the white
people though they pay only about ten
per cent of the taxes.

CATTLE $3.50 ATK. C.
Extraordinary Price for Choice Ma
tives During the Holiday Season

Kansas City. Jan 6--Choice native cat
tie brought $3.50 at the Kansas City yards
yesterday. an advance of 10 cents over the
previous day Such prices as are ranging
now for the best cattle are higher than
have been known here for many years, If.
indeed, the price in the holiday season
was ever SO high since the yards were es-
tabIiShed.
Usually the holiday weeks are q bad
time for the cattle market, the price or
diuariIy dropping 30 to - cents during
that period. owing doubtless to a lighter
demand for fresh beef because of the
large consumption of turkeys and other
poultry and game during the holiday sea
SON But this season instead of decreas-
ing. the price of good cattle has kept ad-
vancing and those prophets of evil who
last summer declared that cattle were Ger
tain to be much lower, that the price was
too high then, have been proven to be
without inspiration There is certainly
big money in feeding cattle when the price
is 50 60 and cattlemen all over the coun-
try are prosperous and happy.

Is MAD ABOUT SOMETHING.
Brown Makes Some Heated ACCUSE
tions Against Governor Leedy.

Representative Charles L. Brown of
CowIey county, the Arkansas City at
tOrrey. accused Governor Leedy, in a
speech on the floor of the house yester-
day, of being influenced by money in
some of his actions a few minutes be-
fore, Brown had spoken against Popu-
list principles in general, in explaining
his vote on the BreidenthaI bill. and
had just made the statement that the
record Of the chief executive is not
clear" when he was called down by
Speaker Pro Tenn WeiIep and informed
that he had consumed the five minutes
allowed for an explanation of vote
When he took the floor to explain his
vote the second time. he said:
When 1 was shut off a little while
ago I had just made the statement
that there were black spots on the rec
ord of the present governor Of this
state I want to repeat my assertion
now I have in my possession a dOcu-
ment emanating from the executive de-
partment in which that governor pro-
poses for the small sum of $50 to de-
feat a reQuisitiOn from the state of
Texas for the return of a fugitive Grim
inaI- More than that, there are papers
on file in the executive office today
showing an application for the pardon
of a young man sent to the peniten-
tiary six years ago, and the application
is signed by the district judge, the
county attorney and eleven of the
twelve Jurors before whom the case was
tried The boy was convicted of steal
sidewalk and il was therefore highway
robbery. But because the necessary in
ffuence in a monetary way was not
brought to bear upon him. the governor
of this great state OF Kansas refused to
grant that boy pardon After Ian
gushing in the penitentiary for six
years he is now dying of consumption,
and a widowed mother is sorely in
need of his support
Mr. Brown would probably have said
something more along the same line,
but the speaker pro TEN again reminded
him that he had consumed the time
allowed by the rules of the house
After the house adjourned he said:
There is lots more 1 could say of

it whenever a good opportunity pre-

New York, Jan "a special from
Washington says Secretary AIger will
soon issue an order formally disbanding
the seven army corps organized during
the war
These corps are still in existence. but
the despatch Of troops to Cuba and
Porto Rico has so reduced the force Of
several of them that only a few regi-
ments represent a corps
Instructions have been given to all
commanding officers of regiments to
grant discharges to such enlisted men
as request it and who enlisted in the
regular army for one year. The six
regiments which are going to the Phil
fppines are especially receiving the at
tention of the department in this re-
spect and before they start the COM
uands will be made up of men who
have enlisted for three years The Of
fcials have found that the men are
making money by applying for dis
charges and then securing clothing and

three years and obtain the advantage
