TO STAND TOGETHER.
POpulist Senators Have a Fellow
Feeling For Hanna and
May Restore Him.

The senate, it is said, will seat George
Hanna of Clay county, Notwithstanding
the fact that Governor Leedy says Hanna
has resigned as senator representing Clay
and Dickinson counties; and also not
withStanding the managers of his party at
Clay Center say that he is not desired by
the Populists of his district to represent
them any longer. The Populist senators
held two caucuses upon the subject today.
One took place before the senate convened
this forenoon, but no action was taken.
The second caucus was held before the
afternoon session At this time COM
mittee was appointed to hear and report
upon the case.
Senators comprising the committee are:
rarely, CroSsan, Titus, Jumper and
Young. It is said a majority of this COM
mittee will recommend that Hanna be
seated and that majority of the senate
has pledged to adopt the report.
The matter will not come before the
senate earlier than tomorrow morning, as
the subcommittee meets to consider the
case after adjournment this afternoon.

TUESDAYS LATE SESSION.
Representatives Complete Organiza-
ton and Select Their Seats.

AS soon as the house recOnvened at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon Seaton of
Atchison, as chairman of the special
committee to inform Governor Stanley
that the house was ready to do bust
ness. made the usual report that the
governor would communicate with the
house in writing.
Keifer of Neosho, who is one of the
new members, called for the report of
the caucus committee on the election
of pages, but Speaker Osborn informed
him that caucus committees did not re-
port to the open house. Keifer then
moved that the house proceed with the
election of pages, but Brooke objected
because the caucus committee had not
reported, and the members did not
know for whom to vote.
After brief interval Private Secre-
tary H. ]. Allen appeared with the
governors message, which was read by
c. S. Martin.
The reading of the message occupied
ffty-five minutes and was concluded at
sos. AS the last words were read the
members of the house broke into APP
plause.
Resolutions were adopted providing
for the printing of 1000 copies of the
message, and another referring the diff
ferent parts of the message to the
proper standing committees of the
house.
On motion of Brooke of Shawnee, a
resolution was passed removing the
house postoffice to the document
room, and the telegraph operators to
the room now coupled as the post
office.
40 motion was made to take a recess
until 10 o'clock this morning, but
Brooke as chairman of the Republican
caucus, moved an amendment that an
adjournment be taken till 10 o'clock on
Thursday.
This brought Fairchild to his feet
and he said:
IF we are going to receive the rec
concentrations of the governor in the
proper spirit we ought to get down to
business. I see no reason for this de-
willing to help the majority to trans
act it's business, and I think the ma
jority ought to be we'll enough ac-
quainted with one another by this time
to do some work. We do not approve
of this notion
Brooke thereupon withdrew his mo-
ton and introduced a resolution that
the drawing of the seats be proceeded
with, the Populists to be allowed to sit
seats. After motion to adjourn had
been voted down, the drawing of the
seats began.
The aged, deaf and infirm were al
lowed the first choice of seats. A casual
glance at the house would indicate that
it was rather a rugged body of men
physically, but twenty-seven members
claimed recognition in the class of
''aged, deaf or infirm.'' They were al
the remainder retired to the lobby and
as the names of their respective coun-
ties were called they selected their seats
for the session
The house then adjourned till 10
o'clock this morning.

RIOS SEES WAR.
Cables Madrid That Manila is In
Danger of an Attack.

Madrid, Jan. 11.-GeneraI Rios, the
Spanish commander, cables from Ma
Mia, reiterating the assertion that the
situation in the Philippine islands is
most grave. The rebels, it appears, are
concentrating in the neighborhood of
Manila, with the intention of attacking
that place. Great preparations are be-
ing made for the defence of the city.
The Spanish general also asserts that
the natives of the Vizayas have again
refused to permit the Americans to
land, threatening to resist by force if an
attempt is made to do so. The Ameri-
cans, therefore, according to General
Rios, have abandoned the idea of dis
embarking and he confirms a previous
statement to the effect that they are
unwilling to lombard Iloilo, because
the European houses are stocked with
petroleum, with the view of being set
alight by the American shells.'
General Rios alleges that the rebels
are determined to fight the Americans
before reinforcements arrive from the
United States. In conclusion, General
Rios says Aguinaldo's proclamation has
''pro&lced immense enthusiasm among
the rebels

THE ST. PAUL'S DELAY
Was Caused By Crack in Her Main
Steam Pipe.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE belated
American line steamer st. Paul, Captain
Jamison, which sailed from Southamp-
ton on January 1, arrived at quarantine
at $3.50 last evening after an eventful
and unusually stormy passage. On
January 2, the steamer encountered a
heavy gale from the southwest, and
the following day the wind increased in
fury and blew with terrific force. At
noon of this date, when the ships posi-
ton was latitude SIT, longitude 22.O2,
Chief Engineer Hunter, who was max
ing his usual inspection of the steamers
engines, discovered a flaw or crack in
the main steam pipe, supplying the
starboard engine. Captain Jamison was
quickly notified about the condition of
the steam pipe and it was decided to
reduce the pressure of steam on both
engines to 100 pounds, just one-half the
engines capacity when running at full
speed.
The steamer proceeded on her voyage,
making 121s to IA knots an hour, as the
state of the weather permitted. During
the remainder of her passage a careful
watch was kept on the disabled steam
pipe which showed no further weak
ness. During the following days the
st. Paul experienced most tempestuous
weather, gales shifting, with high seas,
but her passengers showed no uneasi-
ness.
The st. Paul arrived at her dock
about z p. m. She brought 100 pas

Full Progress.

W. A Thompson, sergeant-of-
arms of the house, at noon today stop
ped a prize fight which was in progress
in one of the house committee rooms, on
the third floor of the state house.
Twenty boys, white and colored, had
obtained entrance to the committee
room, and there had improvised a prize
ring. Seconds were chosen and the mill
had gone through two lively rounds,
when interrupted by the officers. The
combatants were sitting in upholstered
chairs while their seconds were rubbing
them vigorously with state towels.
1t was a motley crowd assembled in
the room, and bets ranged from 1 cent
to 5. The sport was at full height when
it was stopped.
Sentinels were posted along the hall,
and they gave the alarm when Mr..
Thompson appeared. The crowd started
to ''get away"
The officers corralled the fugitives and
took them all back into the arena"
where after a severe lecture, they were
given 10 minutes to leave the capitol.
When released the sports ran down
the stairs and made good their escape.

INMAN AND CODY.
The Handsome Frontispiece in sThe
Great Salt Lake Trail"

One of the finest "pieces of posing in
Photographic work is to beNAeen in the
frontispiece of 1.-The Great Salt Lake
Trail" The picture is of Col. Henry
Inman, of Topeka, the author and his
associate in the work, Col w. F. Cody.
Buffalo Bill" Mr.. Frank G. Willard,
one of the best anna teurs in camera
work, has enlarged this picture from
the original cabinet photograph with
beautiful effect and presented the re-
suit, suitable framed, to the State His
torica1 society.
BY the way this book is "enjoying" an
immense sale. A few days ago not a
copy of the book could be bought in To-
peka. 1t is published by The Macmillan
company, 66 Fifth avenue, New York,
and Kansas people unable to procure
the book of their book-dealers can OBJ
tain copies direct from the publishers.
1.-The Great Salt Lake Trail contains
what is believed to be the true story
of the famous Mountain Meadow Mas
sacres" and of Clusters last fight with
Sitting Bull"
These stories are told in thrilling mar
rative by retired plainsmen who ought
to know, and evidently do know, all the
facts in these two prominent incidents
in American history.

STATE FAIR AT TOPEKA.
Live Stock Breeders Ask That the
Legislature Provide for One.

The Live Stock Breeders, who are
holding their state convention in To-
peka, this forenoon made formal de-
claration for state fair.
The name Estate Fair" is regarded,
however, in the light of a ''hoodoo''
and the proposed exhibition may be
called a Estate Exposition.
The convention resolved:
That the state exposition is to be
held in Topeka, unless more suitable
location can be found.
That it will include exhibits of the
agricultural products of Kansas and
live stock.
That it will be under the Jurisdiction
of the state board of agriculture.
That the legislature will be asked for
an annual guaranty premium fund of
10000.
These are the features of a plan
which is embodied in resolution Of
fered by H. A. Heath and adopted by a
unanimous vote. There was some -queS-
ton about placing the exposition under
the control of the state board OF agri-
culture and one of the members said
that Secretary Coburn was opposed to
the plan proposed. Mr.. Coburn was ac-
cordingly sent for. He confirmed the
report.
'.As a taxpayer of the state of Kan
sas 1 am opposed to the state making
an appropriation as a guaranty pre-
MUM fund. But as an official of the
state board of agriculture L will say
hands of the board will do my part
toward making it a success. 1t will,
however. be impossible for our board to
do the work unless some provision is
made for additional help in the office"
Mr. Coburn'S statement appeared to
be satisfactory and the resolution was
adopted.
A committee of seven will be named
to make the necessary arrangements
and urge the legislature to make the
approximation.

CLOUDS ABOUT THE DOME

The barometer here is high, but there
