JUDGE FOSTER
Retired From the FederalBench
on Full Pay.

Washington, Jan. 6.-JuGge Broderick.
of the committee on judiciary in the
house, yesterday called up the bill au-
thorizing the retirement of Federal
Judge Foster of Kansas, on full pay.
The bill was first considered in COM
Inittee of the whole. Jerry Simpson, of
Kansas, offered a substitute providing
for the division of Kansas into two jul
dicial districts. This was objected to by
Representative Henderson, chairman of
the judiciary committee, on the ground
that it was not germane, and his OBJ
lection was sustained by the chairman,
thereby shutting off a protracted speech
by Simpson.
Mr.. Handy of Delaware, then offered
an amendment granting Judge Foster
So, 500 a year instead OF full pay on re-
firing, which was defeated by vote of
% to As, whereupon the bill was laid
aside with a recommendation that it
pass the house.
The bill was subsequently passed as
reported by the committee.

Gov. Leedy Sends a Message to
the House
Concerning Charges Made b!
Brown of COwley
THAT MONEY WAS USED
To Influence the Governor in
Certain Matters.
Brown Crawfishes Partially Up
on His Statements.

A few minutes after the opening of the
house this morning Mr.. James Lewis, pri-
vate secretary of the governor, presented
himself on the floor and submitted to the
house message from the chief executive
in writing.
The message was in reference to the ac-
cusation made by Brown of Cowley in
the house late yesterday afternoon that
Governor Leedy was influenced by the use
of money. 1t reads as follows:
ITO the House of Representatives:
Il am reliably informed that a member
of the house stated on the floor that he
had letters in his possession from the ex-
ecutive department to parties, demanding
money as the consideration for official ac
tion. I think the house owes it to the
state to have the evidence produced.

Governor of Kansas"

allowed TO go over without any action be-

to deny the allegations 1 made. 1 take it
that there is no issue. Until the allega-
tions are denied they stand admitted.
Whenever the governor sees fit to take the
charges the proof will be ready to back
up the allegations"
After the roll had been called and before
the vote was announced, Taylor of Wy
andOtte secured the floor.
Il understood the gentleman from Cow
ley to say last night that he had docu-
ments in his possession discriminating df-
rectly the governor of the state. If it is
man just what he safd.''
Without waiting for the speaker to pass
upon it, Brown replied:
.-AS / remember it, Il said certain per-
sons in the executive department. -
By making this statement Mr.. Brown
backed down from his position of last

and had used the word governor several

IRVING TO SELL LYCEUM.
Illness of the Actor May Cause Him
to Dispose of His Playhouse.

London, Jan. 6.-The future of the
foremost actor and playhouse in Eng
land is the leading subject talked about
since Sir Henry Irving's illness at Glas-
gov cut short his tour and compelled
him to take a winters rest and to aban-
don his season at the Lyceum theater
There are rumors Irving may retire
from the stage and sell the house.
Irving'S plans, however, are not to re-
tire from the stage, but to abandon his
career as an actor-manager. His ply
sician has imperatively advised him to
drop the cares of management.
Sir Henry is passing the winter at
Rournemouth on the south coast, and
is steadily improving. He will start on
his provincial tour at Easter and go
to the United States in the autumn.

HOOK OR HORTON
Regarded as the Most Probable Sue

Washington, Jan. 6.-Now that the
bill retiring Judge Foster is passed,
members of the Kansas delegation in
congress are discussing with much in
terest the prospects of the various can
didates for the place which Foster will
relinquish. Judge Broderick said today
that he was not a candidate for the
Kansas judgeship or any other federal
position, and that he expected to return
to private life at the end of this con-
gress when his term as representative
will expire. He is inclined to the belief
that Judge Fosters successor will be

partner, or Judge Horton. Representa-

A RAMIE MACHINE.
First Successful One is Invented by
Cleveland Man.

Cleveland, Jan. 6.-W. H. Packer OF
this city has invented a ramie defibrator
which is said to be a success in every
particular and will, it is believed revo-
lutionize the manufacture of fabrics.
Other inventors, it is stated, have been
at work on machine of the same kind
for the past 80 years and although large
and premiums have been offered by
governments they have not been suc>
cessful. The machine can be operated
by a boy, has a capacity of 400 pounds a
day against two pounds a day, which is
the output of a man in China. The ca
pacity of the machine can be increased
according to requirements.
Ramie which is grown very largely in
South America and the southern states,
is a possible substitute for cotton flax
and silk The fibre produced from it is
the strongest in the world.
