ADJOURNMENT DRAWS NIGH
Saturday Next seems likely to be the
Sessions last r..

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 2s.---(Special) Not
withstanding the manipulation Of the
house revising committee appointed to
weed out the calendar, the senate has de-
cided to adjourn Saturday noon. The
resolution is concurrent and. the house
having adopted it, there is no way out
unless the other consents. The house, as
mentioned in the Eagle, didn't know what
70 do when the resolution came up for a
vote, but went on and adopted it. When
they woke up at adjourning hour they
decided that the thing to do was to con-
tinue to March TO- But the senate, Popu-
list, says quit. and the people Of Kansas
consent.
The house last night adopted the follow
ing resolution which means that the house
expects to have to adjourn:
Resolved by the house, That no member
shall speak more than once on any ques-
ton in the house and not longer than three
minutes at a time and not more than twice
on any question in committee of the whole,
nor longer than five minutes at a time.
Each member shall be allowed Two min
utes in which to explain his vote on a
passage of any bill or joint resolution

R0SENBAUM ON THE STAND

Guthrie. o. T. Feb. 2S.-(speciaI) THE
investigating committee is still at work in
desultory sort of way, Notwithstanding
that its proceedings are somewhat dwarfed
in interest by the absorbing excitement
over the public building bill. Even the
appearances OF Phil Rosenbaum, the much
talked of ex-adjutant general, failed 10
arouse more than a passing spark of cur
iosity and his presence before the commit
tee failed TO tax the capacity Of the COM
mittee room. As a witness be was most
unsatisfactory. He was inclined to bubble
over the questions put to him by Examiner
Stevens and on material points he was
either technical to a tiresome degree. or
else his memory would fail him. He was
positive, though, that no vouchers had
been altered or signatures forged. 10 his
knowledge, and his excessive postage bills
he explained by saying that he had fire.

forms by mail His cOmposure was some
what startled, however. when Mr.. Stevens
asked him to explain how it was possible
for the military department "a consume
from 1000 to 400 letterheads a month. and
insisted that such could not possibly have
been the case. He was further asked If It
were not a fact that his dismissal from the
service occurred upon the discovery Of an
altered warrant in reply 10 which he said
with dignity that he had presented his
resignation and ii had been accepted in due
form; had it been otherwise. or under such
circumstances as suggested by the dues-
ton, he would have been prosecuted. The
witness was finally excused with ins,ruc-
tons 70 examine certain vouchers in the

SUPPOSED TO BE VERY FUNNY
Elder of Stafford Has His Fling at the
OIeO Interests.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 2S.--(Special.)- Elder
of Stafford who in the early part of the
term introduced a bill to have the names
of authors left off bills, introduced the
fool resolution of the term this morning,
which follows:
Whereas, The Republican house of 1889
and the PopuIist house of 1897, with its
spirits of liberty loving and its acquies-
cence to the monopolies and trusts and
its pretended protection to the hard
working, toiling masses, after due de-
liberia ton, have said TO the 10000 Kansas
farmers: Your petitions we spurn, your
circumstances We abhor. Toll on, you
are only worthy the place of serfs. while
We grant you our more worthy citizens
and oleomargarine manufacturers to live
in luxury; therefore be II
Resolved, Not that we resurrect the
ELECTROMAGNETIC bin, but that we con-
sign it to peaceful slumbers until other
days when other men shall guide the reins
of state; therefore be 1t further
Resolved, That the Kansas City report
er was little looney when he said that
no ELECTROMAGNETIC bill had ever been
Adversely reported by the agricultural
committee, for none that ever went there
in came out alive; and be it further
Resolved, That the distinguished gentle
man from Cowley county labored under a
misrepresentation when he declared that it
was an insult to the committee, as they
had already reported one bill adversely,
when the facts are they choked the life
out of everyone Of the bills in the COM
mittee room; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu-
tons be spread upon the table Of each
and every one of the 10000 Kansas farm
ers' ELECTROMAGNETIC petitioners. as a
token of our regard for them and as a
momento Of pighted confidence.
Substitute by JaQuins:
Resolved. That the gentleman from
Stafford be given dose Of soothing syrup
10 quiet his nerves and to soothe his
troubled spirit"

ONLY ONE OBSTACLE
In the Way of Reviving the
Public Buildings Bill.
OKLAHOMA IN THE IHROES
Of the Fiercest Struggle Since
the Capital Fight.
OKLAHOMA IN THE THR0ES

Guthrie, o. T, Feb. 2s.-(Special)-Not
since the memorable days of the winter of
| $780, when the First legislative assembly
spent 10 days in an abortive effort TO 10
cate the territorial capital, has Guthrie
been in such state of political eruption
as is witnessed about the legislative halls,
in the hotel Hobbies, in stairways and IN
saloons. The public building Dill, after all
its Yicissitudes, after its many battles and
resurrections is at last on the verge OF
being sprung on the legislature. But one
obstruction remains in the lower house,
and that is the caucus agreement among
the Republicans entered into during the
early days of the session that there should
be no appropriations for public institutions
during the present session. So long as
this agreement stands il is obvious that
the public buildings bill would stand not
the ghost OF a show for passage. But 1t
is claimed that at least eight Republicans
members are agreed to rescind this action
of the caucus and that they Will be Joined
by other members. on the plea that the
original agreement is too broad-that under
it no appropriations can be made for any
Of the institutions already located. No
call for a caucus has yet been made by
Chairman McElrath, but one is hourly eX-
pected. 1t is further claimed that the bill
is sure of sixteen votes in the lower house
and possibly seventeen. In the council
there is hardly a doubt but what seven
members viii vote to pass the bill, and
possibly eight. Senator BeIlamy, who here
tofore has been non-committaI as 10 his
attitude, has climbed down off the fence
in Difference to the active efforts of his FL
Reno constituents. who want the peniten-
tiary. and is now among the open support
ers of the bill.
If it be true that the bill has the strength
claimed for it in both houses, it certainly
has not been secured without the hardest
kind Of work and in opposition to a power
ful lobby from Oklahoma City, which is
said to have all kinds of arguments at its
disposal to defeat the bill. Wild stories
of fabulous sums being offered for votes
this way. and that have been told. but a
careful measurement fails to indicate any
difference in the length of the legs of the
gentlemen from Oklahoma City and the
tales Of Doodle and bribery are SrobabIy
the creation of a diseased mind. It must
be said, though, even by her enemies, that
Oklahoma City is putting up a game and
gallant fight. even TO the extent of sacrifc-
ing her cherished hatred for the Alva nor
NAL school, the supporters of which are
promised the votes of Oklahoma county to
legalize the building Indebtedness with an
additional appropriation of $50 600. all of
which is to be given in exchange for votes
against the building bill,
