Port Arthur Ship Canal.

Kansas farmers are interested in all
matters which will tend to increase the
prices they will get for their products
and the competition in ocean steamships
of the Gulf Of Mexico is matter in which
they are directly concerned. The ship
canal at Port Arthur has been under con-
struction for two years and Is now about
to be completed. All controversies over
the right of way have been finally set
tied and the work on the canal will be
speedily pushed to final completion.
Ocean vessels can be loaded directly from
the tracks and elevators Of the Port Ar
thur railroad and thus give Kansas prod
ucts a short haul for export shipment.
This will add to the value Of aKnsas
products and whatever adds to the value
OF these products also adds to the value
Of aKnsas forms.

Deadlock i'm
Legislature.
House and Senate at Outs Over ApprO-
prlatiOm for FallOOnaStuart
judicial Contest.
NEITHER SIDE WILL GIVE in.

The legislature stood on Tuesday Of this
week at a deadlock over the Falloon-Stu-
art judicial contest. The Senate set
March 81 as the date Of hearing the con-
test and wants an appropriation OF $4,000
for expenses. The House refused to con-
cur in this appropriation and the Senate
then placed the appropriation in with the
executive and judicial appropriations,
making a miscellaneous bill. This left
the House in the position OF failing to
concur in the appropriation for the State
officers should 1t refuse to accept the
Senate's contest appropriation.
Governor Stanley sent word to the Re
publican members OF the House that
rather than call a special session to make
appropriations he would run the State
government on borrowed money until
the next regular session, and the House
held out against the contest appropria-
ton.
The time for adjournment had been set
for Saturday night, but it was continued
until yesterday afternoon. The House
fight has been directed by Cy Leland, the
Republican boss, from whose home town
of Troy the charges came against Stu
art. Members of the Senate say that
he will not let the House back down be-
cause the trial of the contest would re-
veal gross frauds On the other hand
the House makes the plea that the Senate
simply wants another chance at the pub
lie trough and is, therefore, asking for
an appropriation to hear this contest.
The Senate feels that If Governor Stanley
vetoed the bill and carried out his threat
to borrow money he would have hard
time securing the loan, in as much as
should the Populists be victorious next
year they would certainly repudiate 1t
as unconstitutional.
In the Senate, Monday, the free en-
ployment bill passed by vote Of "a to 0.
The act concerning building and loan
associations was passed by vote OF 80 to
/. After considerable debate the act
authorizing the issuing Of three years
teachers certificates and life certificates
to teach in the public schools to graduates
of other institutions than the State nor
NAL was passed by vote Of Il to 6.
The House instructed the chief clerk
to send a cablegram to the Twentieth
Kansas volunteers thanking them for
their gallant conduct at Manila. Chief
Clerk Lobdell accordingly paid $S6.6O for
a cablegram Of fifteen words.
The House passed the law knocking out
the Board of Pardons by vote OF 70 to
6, and also passed the bill authorizing
Crane &c Company to publish the General
Statutes Of 1899.
On Tuesday the Senate took up Senator
Hanna's anti-fusion bill and struck 1t
from the calendar. Senator Anderson's
bill for an assessment and taxation COM
mission passed. 1t provides for COM
mission from the next legislature to ex-
anime the assessment and taxation laws
and make recommendations for new
law. This commission is to be appointed
by the Governor and is to report to him
so that he may make recommendations |
to the legislature Of 1901.
Governor Stanley notified the Senate !

gale o. Wednesday night was very dis

The storm appears to have been the

lost. Hundreds of fishing boats along
the island coast and northern New
