Jefferson City, May Ex-senator
Vandiver's anti-fusion bill passed the
house Monday, practically without OPP
position. 1t prohibits the central COM
mittee of any party from filing va
cancies on the ticket with persons not
of the same political faith.
The house also passed Senator Will
sons bill requiring separate conven-
lions for the nomination of supreme
court and court of appeals judges.
Senator Lyons bill permitting the
opening Of safe deposit boxes, after a
certain period, for the non-payment OF
rent was also passed.
Senator Matthew's bill, requiring
courts to appoint an attorney for the
defense in default divorce cases, did
not fare so well. After very brief
debate, the house tabled the bill.
The house today refused to concur
in the senate amendment to the cor
tingent appropriation bill raising the
appropration for the National Guard
from $4,000 to $4,000, Messrs. Rags
dale, of Dade; Johnston, of st. Louis,
and Jones, of Howell, favored the in
creased appropriation, but the Demo-
Gratis lined up solidly against 1t. Bo'
hart, of Clinton, made the motion to
non-concur and IL carried, SO to 40, all
the Republicans present voting no.
In retaliation, the Republicans de-
feated the amendment appropriating
$17,500 for the expenses of the beer
inspection provided for in the Farris
law. The matter will now go to a con-
ference committee.

Washington, May 16.--The United

reach the court. The decision was
announced by Chief Justice Fuller and
directed that the vessel, which was
captured off San Juan, Porto Rico,
on July II last, and has been held
since by this government, shall be re-
turned to its owners, on the ground
that it was not proven that the steam

A HORRIBLE DEATH.
Thomas Robertson. u Kansas Stock
man, Attacked and Killed by
a vicious Full.

Hutchinson, Kan, May 16.-Thomas
Robertson, well known farmer and
stock raiser OF Reno county, died
horrible death here Sunday evening.
Robertson went on foot into his pas
ture, where he was attacked by VIC
ious bull. Fearing the animal some
what, he had taken pitchfork for
protection. The bull was dehorned
and could not gore his adversary, but
made terrible onslaught. For time
Robertson kept his footing and tried
to put the bulls eyes out with the
pitchfork. The brute finally made
sudden rush and bore him to the
ground, where he soon paved the life
out of the stockman. The animal
guarded the dead body, continuing to
paw It, until neighbor arrived with
a gun and shot him. The horrible
sight was Witnessed by RobertsOn'S
invalid wife.
