We Have New
State Officers.
AZ IL Noon rAOnday, John w. Leedy
Retired AS Governor of Kansas and
w. e. Stanley Assumed the Trials
and Troubles of Office.
THE USUAL CERErlONIES.

Oratory, music, cannon, little official
swearing and fearful array of cuts in
the next mornings Topeka Capital attest
the fact that the Republican State off,
GERS were duly inaugurated Monday. The
inaugural ceremony began at noon. After
music by Marshalls band ex-Lieutenant
Governor Troutman delivered a brief but
very appropriate and eloquent intrOduc-
tory address. This was followed by the
prayer by Rev. Linus Blakesley and
then Governor Leedy introduced Mr.
Stanley, who delivered his inaugural adj
dress.
Chief Justice Doster administered the
oath of Office making Mr.. Stanley Gov
ernor. The other incoming officers were
escorted to the stand by their predeces-
sors. In the evening the reception to the
new State officers was given in Repre-
sentative Hall.
In introducing his successor, Governor
Leedy said: I'VE are assembled here to-
day to witness the retirement OF one set
of State officers and the Inauguration Of
another In turning over the Office Of
Governor to my successor / have only
good wishes for his success. have the
pleasure of introducing to you Governor
elect Stanley"
Mr.. Stanley's address was brief. He
said:
"The whole world is getting ready for
the advent of the new century. The years
are filed with the spirit Of fraternity
Zone Of the greatest nations Of the Old
World is advocating general disarma-
ment in anticipation of the time when
armies shall beat their swords into plOw
shares and their spears into pruning
hooks
The greatest nation Of the New
World, in the midst of unequalled COM
mercial victories, has turned aside from
business pursuits long enough to do for
humanity the most unselfish act that has
been done since the Man of Galilee gave
himself for others.
"A new song is bursting forth ON the
air. Every note is a sound Of Joy and its
chorus is pean of good will.
Each line is freighted with sentiments
of good fellowship and the accompani-
ment is touched with the fingers of love
on the great key board Of human sym
pathy. It had its beginning more than
eighteen hundred years ago on old Ju-
dea's plains, when wondering shepherds |
listened to the heavenly chorus of peace |
and good will to men.
"It will have its end when the sun
light of peace shall flood the earth with
its glory, and when the SONS Of men
shall meet upon the plane Of a univer
sal brotherhood.
Kansas is in touch with all the hope
the present brings, and will strike no
discordant note in the song of triumph
and is getting ready to greet the new
century with shout OF welcome.
Its toilers-0n the farm--in the work
shop-at the bench--on the railroad
behind the counter-an in the mines

NOTABLE EXPANSION TALK.
Senators Lodge nnd Clay Discuss the
Subject ut Some Length.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Two nota-
BILE speeches were delivered in the SEN
ate yesterday, one by Mr.. Lodge Of
Massachusetts and the other by Mr..
Clay of Georgia.
While the two senators differed dia-
metrically as to the policy of expan-
sion upon which they dwelt, both are
in favor of the immediate ratification
OF the pending peace treaty. They con
tend that once the treaty is ratified con
gress will have full power to deal with
conditions respecting the territory ac-
qutred during the war with Spain and
not before. Mr.. Lodge particularly ar
gued for formal declaration of peace.
which could be had only by the ratifica-
ton of the treaty. That accomplished,
he was willing to trust the American
congress and the American peOple TO
deal fairly. justly and parotically with
the Philippine Islands with full regard
to the principles of our government as
set forth in the constitution and in the
declaration of Independence Mr. Clay
was inclined to the belief that It might
be desirable for congress to make a
declaration of intention regarding the
Philippines before the treaty was rati-
fed. lie strongly opposed expansion.
especially on the ground that 1t would
necesstate the maintenance of large
and expensive standing army.

ARMY REORGANIZATION.
The House Begins II Long Debate on
the Standing Army Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The debate
on the army reorganization bill opened
IN the house yesterday under an agree
ment by which the general debate was
to run is hours. eXclu~ive of three night
sessions, the final vote to be taken not
later than 8 o'clock next Tuesday. Prac-
tically three propositions are before the
house-the house bin providing for a
standing army OF 1000 men. the mi
nority substitute increasing the stand
ing army to 50 600 men and lodging with
the president discretionary power to call
out $4,000 volunteers for emergency
service and a proposition to continue
temporarily the regular army at its
present war strength, 1900 men.
1t is also understood that Mr.. Marsh
Rep., Ills) will champion the Miles bill.
Among the supporters of the majority
bill there are those who, like Mr.. Nc
Clellan Oem., \. y, a son Of General
George B. Mcclellan, favor a provision
for a general staff made up of officers
of the line so IS to make the army or
ganization responsible to n SINGLE head.
The fate of the measure is still consid-
cred doubtful, though Chairman Hull
and his friends profess great confidence
in its passage.
The debate yesterday was not excit-
ing. Mr.. Hull and Mr.. McCleran in sup
port of the measure and Mr.. Hay of
Virginia in opposition divided the hon
ors. The other sneakers were Messrs.
Parker Gep., n. - and Brown C3ep..

There were only IS members present
at the night session of the house, but
the galleries were thronged. The even

principal one was made by Mr. Simp-
son Pop., Kan.) in opposition to the
bill. He charged tha, the Republicans
