The Bill is Amended
Senator HeInIck- Mr. LeweIIing not
insisting On his motion to strike out the
enacting clause, moved to amend the
PROPOSED law SO C04C no E16TnD6r OF
any state board OF other officer. or
hereafter appointed by the governor, by
and with the advice and consent of the
senate, or the chief officer of any state
institution. whose term expires at the
end Of a given number OF years, or I'M
til his SUCCESSOR Is appointed and quail
fled, shall be removed during his aI1ot-
ted term of years for political reasons
only, nor otherwise than by inpeach-
ment, except after having been con-
victed in a. court This made the bill
applicable only to the future, and would
preclude the Republicans from inveSti-
eating PopuIists for alleged offenses
prior to the enactment Of the repeating
law.
Senators Caldwell, Crossan and Shat
fer favored the repeal of the existing
law but Senators F'arreIIy. LeweIIing,
Campbell and Ryan opposed it. Mr..
LeweIIiug said he would vote for the
bill if the author would accept an
amendment making it effective in 1900.
This was not accepted and Senator
King closed the debate by a speech in
favor of the bill Senator HeIuick then
withdrew his amendment and Mr.. Lew
cling renewed his motion to strike out
the enacting clause, which prevailed by
a vote of 20 to Is. The committee then
arose and at 1890 the senate adjourned.

motion to postpone indefinitely the con-

EarreIIy said:

Senator Householder was the recip-
lent of q handsome compliment during
the session of the senate last night,
which was the second night meeting of
the special session Mr. Householder
called UP his proposed law creating new
regulations which Will place the state
charitable institutions under civil ser
vice and accomplish what he believes,
and what a majority of the people Of
Kansas believe, are much needed re-
forms in the management Of these in
situations
The measure has passed the senate
on two previous occasions but has been
killed in the house but the change of
public sentiment, or rather q revolt
against the existing conditions, on the
Fart Of the people has caused the mem
bers of the legislature to realize that
something must be done and there
seems to be little doubt that the bill
will pass.
Senator Householder called up the
bill last night and explained that it
passed the senate on two previous Oc-
casious and further that only one
amendment of Importance had been
made and that provides for the appoint
ment of the board OF examiners to take
charge of the administration Of the af
fairs of these institutions and pass upon
the fitness of applicants for positions
The board is to be uOu-partisan and
takes charge OF its work July l.
The senate gave unanimous consent
that it should go on third reading sub
ject to amendment and debate without
consideration in committee Of the whole.
The provisions of this bill have been
fully outlined in the Journal
The Bush Corporation Bill.
The senate Immediately after assem-
bling last night went into committee OF
the whole and resumed the considera-
ton of the Bush corporation bill, which
provides q tax of oue-tanth of one per
cent on each dollars worth of capital
stock of all companies hereafter char
tered under the laws of Kansas. This
bill also provides that all corporations
doing business under authority of Z
Kansas charter, shall file annually q
detailed report of the business trans
actions Of such companies. The bill was

The governor called several members
Of the senate into his Office yesterday

that unless the legislative Investigation

night about o'clock when unexpected

called up by Senator Stone when the
senators were burying their faces in

Of the whole 1t was left pending with
out any action being taken after con-
siderable discussion, in which CubblSOu

said that it would work an injustice to

city council had but recently granted

OF the wagon bridge across the Missouri
river and the expenditure OF $2OO,O00 in

was endangered the company would be

weekly Market Review.

The cotton market ruled a little higher
during the past week, the most firmness
occurring mid-week, occasioned by rather
less favorable crop accounts. There were
reports of drought in the eastern section,
and the weekly government report con-
frming same. induced increased activity.
Later there We're some needed rains, ana
very good accounts from Texas outside the
flood districts; these weakened the mar
ket. and most of the advance was lost,
August closing only points higher, at
/ 52c: January, 5S1c. While reports are
more or less spotted, still the general opn-
ion is that up to the present time the
outlook is for a very good yield But
il must be remembered that damage 10
the cotton crop usually occurs in August
and that the growth is small in this divis-
ion of the belt. One piece of advice
may be given the farmers: Should the
market score any material Improvement
before the new season fairly opens they
will do well to take advantage OF the same
by selling futures for as much cotton as
they eXpect to gather. Just as soon as
their cotton is being generously offered by
the army of country buyers, the price will
begin to dwinde away under the weight
of the competitive selling auction.
Wheat was weak, with only moderate
reactions, closing over &c lower; December,
