The question with most of the poll
ticians, and good share Of the people
this morning. in Wichita is-now that
the house and senate have passed the
law creating the court Of visitation and
the solicitor general-what is the next
step and who will take it?
The law, as it passed, fixes the first
session of the new court April 1 of the
present year; Governor Stanley to ap-
point the three members of the court
and the solicitor general.
If the, new court is court to this ex-
tent and proceeds in judicial manner,
there seems to be little doubt that the
appointeeS will have to be lawyers.
There is no question about the neCessi-
ty &c the solicitor general being a law
yer. But the eligibility of none but
lawyers to a membership on the new
board is going to cause all kinds or
deep-blue woe among the politicians
Governor Stanley was seen last night
and asked about his views of the new
court, and he said fatty: "I will not
talk about it at this time"
There is no question, however, that
the matter of lawyers for the new
board is creating great stir. Lit Crum
is not a lawyer nor is Jim Simpson.
Not an application has been received
for the place of solicitor general for a
wonder
The governor relaxed on his message
yesterday, and from remarks he drop
only a week to spare.
1t is believed now that no appoint
ments except that of private secretary
will be announced from Wichita The
rest will be announced from Topeka; a
few right after the Inauguration and
others later. 1t is thought that the two
appointees to the state board of chart
ties have been selected, offered the
place and have accepted. Kanavel is
believed to be one of these. 1t Is claim
ed that Spencer of Fort Scott has also
received the inspectorshjp of coal oil.
The selection of insurance commissioner
is still in doubt.
1t is not expected among the poll
ticians here that the Populist extra ses-
sion the last week of it's existence, will
do anything to cut down the number
of appointments to be made by Cover
nor Stanley, but still the fear that it
may do so has perceptibly diminished
the number of callers at Stanley's Of
fee.
1t is said that, in the matter of the
first batch of appointments, no Wichita
man will be named.

WANT TO RETAIN CONTROL.
Profess to Fear Republicans
Will Make Changes at the Agri-
cultural College.

Senator Forney has originated a plan,
the purpose of which is to have Governor
Leedy appoint a successor to Harrison
Kelley on the board of regents of the state
agricultural college and to have the ap-
pointment confirmed by the senate, there
by placing, for the ensuing two years, the
control of the state agricultural college in
the hands of the POpuliStS.
Mr.. Kelley died while in office and Mr.
PhippS. the member who is presumably
appointed in his place, has not been con-
firmed. Therefore, Mr.. Phfpps may be
confirmed or the governor may appoint
someone else
There is some opposition to the plan in
the. senate. but 81 members, a majority,
have signed Senator Forney's agreement
to support the proposition. Now, the
thing remaining to be done is to secure
Governor Leedy's assent to the plan. If
the governor declines to name man it is
extremely probable that Phipps will be
confirmed upon Senator Forney'S motion.
of this institution because the Republic
cans have made a bitter and unrelenting
fight upon the present management.
Among the improvements claimed to have
been made are a new general dining hall,
where the students are boarded at a cost
of little more than 81 per week, and text
books are being furnished to them at cost.
The Populists profess to believe that If
the Republicans secure control of the
school these Improvements will be done
away with. The PopuliSts claim that the
cheap board and cheap books have added
largely to the attendance at the school,
and use this as the main argument in sup
port of Mr.. Forney's plans.

HOUSES NIGHT SESSION.
It Amended the Telegraph and Tele-
phone Bill

The house held its second night session
and the entire time was taken up in the
reading and consideration of the bill in
troduced by Merrill by request provid-
ing for the public ownership of tele-
phones by counties and cities. The
consideration was by the house as a
committee of the whole.
The Dill provides that the first election
in every county in the state after the
taking effect of act there shall be SUBJ
mitted to the people the propositions:
"Shau the county own and operate a
telephone system?'' and Shall the coun-
ty cooperate with other counties and
with cities and persons in the owner
ship and operation of telephone sys-
tems?" At the second election held
in any city located in a county decli-
ming to go into the telephone business,
the same propositions, with the substi-
tuition of city for county, shall be sub
mitted.
WeiIep of Cherokee opposed the bill
on the ground that it was not the kind
of a public utility measure that the peo-
ported back with recommendation
that the enacting clause be stricken out.
Fairchild spoke against the motion, say
ing that the public ownership of tele-
phone was being demanded by the peo-
pie and that the bill was a step in the
right direction. The motion was lost
The bill was then amended so as to
require a petition OF 20 per cent of the
voters for the submission of the propo-
sitions and recommended for passage as
amended The bill Will probably pass
the house
The house then adjourned until 10
o'clock Monday morning.

THE EXPRESS co. BILL
It's Enforcement is Placed in Hands
of "Court of Visitation"

The control and regulation of express
companies, doing business in Kansas.
will be placed within the powers of the
new court of visitation, having charge
of the administration of the new rail-
road law, if the bill already prepared
becomes law.
There were several bills of this char
acter presented in both the house and
senate, but these have been combined,
in accordance with the caucus agree
ment, and the house committee on jul
dietary has reported for passage the fol-
lowing substitute for the various ex-
press bills:
Section l. The term express COM
panies'' as used herein shall be taken
to mean and embrace all corporations,
companies, individuals and association
of individuals, their 1essees or receivers,
appointed by any court whatsoever that
may now or hereafter own, operate,
manage or control any express business
in this state; and all such corporations,
companies and association of individ-
uals, their 1essees or receivers as shall
do the business of common carriers by
railroad or otherwise in this state.
The court of visitation shall have
similar jurisdiction and powers over
express companies doing business in
this state to those now conferred upon
it by law over railroad companies.
This act shall take effect and be in
force from and after April Is, 1899 and

REPUBLICANS DIVIDED
On the Breidenthal Banking BILL
May Caucus on It.

The Republican steering committee is
busy today trying to line up the MEM
bers of the minority in the two houses
who are said to be contemplating vote
for BreidenthaPs guaranty fund bank
ing bill. This bill provides that a
guaranty fund for the protection of de-
positors shall be maintained in the state
treasury by the bank or bankers.
Larimer of Shawnee, and one or two
other members of the house, are. re-
ported to be in favor of the bill, and the
steering committee has resurrected the
party whip and proposes to get the Re-
publicans in line solidly against the bill.
in response to the request from the
bankers, who are developing strong OPP
position to the measure. To what ex-
tent the Republicans are in favor Of the
bill is not known, as those who intend
to support the bill are keeping their own
counsel. However, there is some talk of
a Republican caucus upon this subject
but the difficulty may be overcome by
the reconcentrados finally, in response
to personal requests, coming back into
the fold.

TAKING CAPITAL STOCK
Of Corporations Has Some Good
Points and There are Also
Some Objections.

The senate committee on corporations,
Campbell, chairman, has recommended
for passage the bill prepared by w. E.
Push, secretary of state, providing for
a tax of one mill on every dollars worth
of the capital stock of corporations of
all kinds doing business in Kansas.
This measure is being bitterly opposed
by the corporations, for the reason that
no class of business being promoted I'M
der a charter issued in accordance with
the laws of Kansas escapes this tax.
Railroads, insurance, express, mercan-
tile, newspapers, building and loan asso-
Citations, and all classes of business are
affected, and strong pressure is being
brought to bear to prevent the passage
of the bill
While the bill Is being attacked upon
all sides there is a strong sentiment in

ONE MORE FIZZLE.
Two Administrations Have Now
Failed to Put Decent Walks
in State House SQUARE.

When the Populist executive council
leaves the state house next Monday to
join the 'exeS, the state officers COM
prising that body will leave a legacy
with the incoming administration in the
shape of a request to compel the com
pany which put down the paving on the
aiagonai walks to comply with the
terms OF the contract on file in the Of
nee or the secretary of state or go with
out pay for the work already done.
Inc company has a bond sufficient
TO sausfy all claims which may arise
by reason of the failure of the work
done to come within the provisions of
the contract The present state officers
are losing confidence in the ability of
the company to make the kind of a
walk which they agreed to put down
ana point to the crumbling now in pro-
gress on the south side of the state
house as evidence in support of that be-
lief.
Cold weather stopped the work which
would have been completed had not
the company been compelled to go over
a large part OF the job a second time
Now some of the walk which was nut
down the last time is crumbling and one
OF the state officers said today: Saw
aust would make just as good a walk
The appropriation for the walks
amounts to about $11, 900 but the state
officers believe they will not be c1sIIed
upon TO pay the full amount of the con-
tract. thinking that the company will be
unable to comply with its contract For
these reasons $1,000 of the money ap-
propriated two years ago for the pave

the general revenue fund and appro-
priated to pay the deficiency in the con-
tract for the state electric light plant
The members of the legislature are
highly pleased with the work of the ex-
ecutive council in putting in this plant
and there will be in neither house no
opposition to the proposition to SO APP

THE NEW AssEMBLAeE.
Members Begin to Gather and Figure
on the Offices.

The new Republican members Of the
regular session of the legislature are al
ready coming in, preparatory to beginning
work next Tuesday. There are three i'm
portant contests on, for speaker, sergeant
alarms and chief clerk.
For the latter place Charley Lobdell
seems to have a cinch, as he has no oppo-
Sition.
For sergeant-at-arrns A. c. Jordan of
Lyons seems be in the lead of the pro-
cession of Candidates, in which are the fol-
lowing:

George Davis, Oskaloosa.

served without pay in this capacity at
numerous conventions, in addition to per-
forming other duties in the line of party
service. His friends are making strong

olution and it was speedily sent to the
mer sat down without saying anything
further.
Before the adjournment of the house
shortly after II o'clock, Ravenscraft in
PRODUCED a bill amending a section of
the stock yards bill passed two years
ago. The section amended is that
which prescrfbes that the stock yards
company may charge 100 per cent above
the market price for feed. The amend
ment consists of the one word whole
SALE before market price," and makes
a great difference in the charges as the
section of the bill has been accepted to
mean retail market prices. In many
instances, if the bill passes, the charges
for feed will be reduced below the re-
tail market prices.
The house took a recess until o'clock
this afternoon.

A STATE DAIRY SCHOOL.
Which is to Give Its Graduates
Monopoly on Jobs

The officers of the state agricultural
college at Manhattan are working Wig
orously among the legislators, pushing
a scheme to establish a state dairy
school at the institution.
The feature of the plan which is meet
ing opposition, is one which Is said to
be an important concession along the
line of special legislation. The promo
tiers of the plan want the law to pro-
vide that only those who graduate from
the dairy school may be employed in
the creameries and dairies in Kansas.
This proposition to create a monopoly
on dairy and creamery jobs will, in all
probability, kill the proposed dairy
school.

that a picnic arranged for 500 miners
