TERMS OF ADAMS JURY BILL
Which Is Exciting No little Interest
in Legal Circles

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 10-CSpecial. There
seems to be a good deal Of disputing re-
garding the terms of the jury bin by
Adams Of Sedgwick. A number of Sedg-
wick county citizens have charged that
the expense to the county will be doubled
under this arrangement. Several requests
have come for the full provision Of the
bill, and il is given herewith:
Section l. That section OF chapter
1o4 Of session laws of Kansas. being sec
ton p OF chapter 81 Of the general stat
Utes of the state Of Kansas be amended
70 read as follows: Sec. %. When there
shall not be jurors enough present to form
q panel in any cause, the court may direct
the sheriff or other officers to summon 4

hcations of jurors to complete such panel
from the bystanders or from among the
neighboring citizens, and the officer shall
summon the number 50 ordered: Provided
that in case either party to such cause.
by himself or his attorney, shall 50 request
It, It shall be the duty of the Judge of said
court to cause a venire to issue naming the
Jurors whose names shall be drawn from

were drawn, and shall be selented in the
same manner; Provided that the names
of said jurors may be drawn in the pres
eDce of the judge Of said court trying said
case. after the notice OF the time of said
drawing has been given TO the parties or
their attorneys in said case, who shall
have the right to be present at said draw
ing If they So announce in open court at
the time said venire is demanded; Pro-
Vided further, that if any jurors name

may order other names to be drawn who
can M ore readily and conveniently be

ton at the conclusion of Mr.. Gillett's re-
marks by giving notice that at the proper
time he would offer the Nicaragua canal
bill as an amendment to the sundry civil
bill. The announcement was greeted with
applause by the friends of the measure.
He had ben moved to take this course, he
said, by the statement Of Mr.. Cannon yes
terday, that the bill would not be consid-
cred at this session. Mr.. Hepburn argued
that the amendment would be in order
and could preperly be placed upon the bill.
Mr.. Grosvenor, under the latitude al
lowed for debate, spoke at some length on
the effect of the wool schedule Of the
Dingley bill upon the wool growing in
dustry
Mr.. Underwood Dem., Ala reviewed
the record Of the present congress to show
that it had betrayed its pledges to the
people.
Mr. Kirkpatrick Rep., Pa defended
expansion, and Mr.. Lantz Dem, Ohio
concluded the debate for the day with
denunciation of the president for commut-
ing the sentence of Conmissary General
Eagan. He declared that General Eagan's
attack upon General Miles had no parallel
in military history. He had called Cen
eral Miles 3iar, for simply telling the
truth, which 10000 soldiers could testify.
The troops had been fed rotten beef. said
Mr.. Lentz, and yet General Eagan was to
be suspended with pay for six years and
then retired upon three-fourths pay be-
cause he had denounced the truth as lie.
He was to be rewarded nor attacking Gen
eral Miles. With his pay during his sus-
pension and calculating the length of his
life according TO recognized mortality ia
bles, General Eagan would draw $4,000
from the treasury after he had been con-
victed by court martial of most heinous
offense against military discipline.
The committee then rose. At o'clock
the house took a recess until o'clock, the
evening session to eb devoted to pension
legislation.
At the night session Of the house thirty
one private pension bills We're passed.
Among them were the senate bill 70 pen
sion Letitia Tyler Semple, the daughter
of President Tyler, which deadlocked the
house a week ago. and the senate bill to
pension ex-senator John NJ Palmer OF
Illinois at the rate OF $50 per month. The
amount carried by the bill to pension
Mrs. Semple was reduced from $50 to $50
per month. In the course OF the discus
sion upon the bill to pension General Pal
mer. it developed that he was absolutely
without means and practically blind. Mr..
Brucker Dem, Mich.) recalled the fact
that General Palmer had been the candi-
date OF the gold Democrats for president
in 1895. and suggested that that might
account for the fact that this bin was
pushed through within a month after its
Introduction. MI Talbot Dem. 5. Co
moved that the pension be paid IN silver
General Palmer IS in favor OF sound
money" said he. Let US pay him in sold
or silver Of the constitution" The mo-
ton was not entertained by Mr.. Con-
nelly, who was in the chair.

Judges Simpson, Webb and Stilnngs. They
got about one-third of the way through
with their work and it cost the state 900.
