KANSAS WILL SUE.
WILL ATTACK COLORADO iRRi-'
GATORS. &
Action in the United States suprens Coaft
Will BE Taken to Prevent Further APP
propriations of Water From the ArAaa-
River.

Denver, April 30.-A special dispatch
from Topeka, Kansas. to the Repub~
lican says: a
Attorney General GODDARD left for
Washington to-day to present to the
United States Supreme Court next
Monday a motion for leave to file bill
in equity on behalf of the state Of Kan
sas against the state of Colorado, to
enjoin that state from diyerting the
waters of the Arkansas river and Its
tributaries for irrigation and other
purposes. The suit is to be brought
upon the authority of Governor Stan
ley, and service will be had upon the
governor and attorney general of Colo
RADIO.
This action on the part OF the attor-
ney general is a matter of vital and
colossal interest to the settlers In the
Arkansas valley. This river flows
through thirteen Kansas counties,
forming valley almost as rich as the
valley Of the Nile. containing 2,5OO,O
acres, and with the natural flow and
underflow of the river in its unimpeded
condition, this Is one of the richest val 4
leys in the West.
But the state of Colorado has for
many years pursued policy Of prac-
tically appropriating all of the waters
which was by nature intended to come
down this valley through Kansas, and
to such an extent has this action on the
part of Colorado damaged Kansas, and
especially the Arkansas valley, that
Attorney General GODDARD has conclud-
ed to see whether the Supreme Court
can afford relief.
The contention of Kansas is that
when the part of Colorado east of the
Rockies was yet n part Of Kansas ter
ritory, the common law of England
was by statutory provision made TO ap-
ply, and that under this common law
riparian rights were along the entire
course of the river established, which
future legislation was powerless to alb
rogate or impair.
Kansas does not ask that the bitches
all be destroyed. or the property OF
those interested therein confiscated, but
asks that the state of Colorado permit
no more bitches to be dug, that 1t give
no more charters to persons for irriga-
ton canals, except for water and do
nestle use, and asks that the state be
restrained from building the canals ande
reservoirs which it contemplates, ands
as fast in the future as the charters of
Its irrigation bitches expire, that they
shall not be renewed, aud that no new
permits or authority or license be
granted to divert the water. except for
domestic uses. This. in the course of
time without loss to Colorado, will re-
store the condition of things and not
interfere with present vested rights.
The amount involved in the suit IL
almost fabulous. because II the conten-
ton of the state of Kansas should be
overruleds then the state would suffer
in the future annual damages beyond
computation, which would be in addi-
tion to the great loss in revenue which
the state is already suffering.

..w-Y CAPTURES cn.cAoo.
Great aud EnthusIastie Crowds Give Him
Cordial Welcome-

Chicago. April 3o.-Amid the boom
ing of cannon and the cheers Of hun
dreds of people. Admiral George Dew
ey arrived to-day. For the next three
days he will be the guest of the city,
and the programme for his entertain
ment VIII take up nearly every mo-
ment of his time until his departure
Thursday from Jacksonville, Illinois.
The special train bearing the admiral
and Mrs Dewey, Lieutenant Cald-
well, his secretary, and Lieutenant
Crawford. was met near South Chica-
20 by special train carrying the gen
eral executive committee Of the Dew
ey celebration, and including Mayor
Harrison. President Charles A Plam-
andon, and the admiral's son, George
Goodwin Dewey.
An immense crowd had congregated
in the streets surrounding the station,
and had packed to suifocation the
big depot building itself. When the
white-moustached naval hero was seen
roar of cheers went up.
The route of the parade to the hotel
was along Fifth avenue to Jackson
boulevard, thence down Michigan ave
nue. to the hotel. Along those streets
for hours before the arrival of Admir-
al Dewey were gathered crowds that
literally packed the sidewalks and that
kept the police busy from filling the
streets also, and the cheering started
at the depot swept along the streets as
the admiral and his party were slowly
driven to their apartments. the ap-
plause being almost without cessation
until the admiral entered the hotel.
AT 2:30 p. In. the admiral was given
reception by the Canadian-American
Association. which presented an invi-
tation to him to visit Canada at his
pleasure.
Never in the history of the great Au-
ditorium has been within its walls
a sight more beautiful than that re-
vealed tonight when the great ball CIV
en- in honor of Admiral Dewey was at
its height.
1t was a decisive success from first
to last in all details from the decora-
tons on the walls 30 the reception pro-

Governor Taylor Face. HI. Accu,.r,.

Frankfort Ky. April Ex-Governor
Taylor returned here from Washington
and spent Sunday at the executive
mansion with his family But few
people were aware of his presence In
the city till this evening, when he ap-
pcared at the railroad station and
boarded train for Louisville.
The local officers and those in charge
Of the prosecution knew that Governor
Taylor was here and the fact that a
warrant of arrest was not served up
on him Is now construed to mean that
the indictment was returned in open
court the day after those against Fin
ley, Culton and others were returned.
but it was not entered on record and is
now known to be in charge of Judge
Cantrill.

LIQUOR AND THE HEATHEN.
Ecumonica Conference Devotes Attention q
to Liquor and Opium Tramc.

New York, April 29.-At supple
mentary meeting of the Ecumenical
conference to-day the subject of the
liquor and the opium traffic was dis =
cussed. The baleful effects of liquor
and opium OH the natives Of every
country where missionaries are work Z
ing were explained in detail by for
eign delegates. 1t was announced that
strong pressure has been brought to
bear on President Mckinley and some
Of his predecessors to prohibit its sale
on lands over which this country ex-
ercises control-notably. the Alaskan 4
territory, Hawaii and the Philippines.
At Carnegie hall. during the after
noon, there was held mass meeting
under the auspices of the Y. NJ. G. A.
Hundreds of young men and women /.
of the West End and Hoboken choral
unions furnished the music. Numbers
of delegates and converts from various
foreign lands, attired in their native
dress, occupied seats on the platform

GREAT FOREST FIRES.
Michigan Town Practically Wiped Out and
Others In Danger.


Marinette, Wis, April 3O.-Forest
fires ragged furiously north of Fisher,
Michigan, along the right of way of
the Wisconsin and Michigan railway,
Saturday and Sunday. The property
damage will be large. The town of
Ames, Michigan, was practically wiped
out, entailing a loss of $4,000 or more.
Considerable cedar stock Mt Nathan,
Michigan. was also destroyed. The
Wisconsin & Michigan ran a special
train up the line Sunday to rescue the
lagos along the road. All the inhabit-
ants Of the towns Of Ames and Nathan
were taken to Pembine for safety.
1t is feared that the Wisconsin &
Michigan passenger which left here
last night was unable to get further
north than Fisher. At the latter place
only heroic resistance stved the town.
Forest fires are burning everywhere
north of here, and further damage will
result unless there is rain. The coun-
try is very dry and the fires spread rap
idly.
Fires are said to be burning along the
right of way Of the Milwaukee road
north Of Ellis Junction.
Further reports are to the effect that
the forest fires are spreading and great
concern is felt for all towns north
Nothing definite is known concerning
the towns along the Wisconsin &
Michigan road, but the danger to all of
them is increasing. A report from Ellis
junction says the fire is spreading.

Arbor day is the only holiday which
speaks for the future; all others cele-
brate the past. Yet even Arbor day be-
gins to have a past. Eighteen years
ago, during the first forestry congress
IN this country. the children of Cincin-
natl marched to Eden Park and planted
a young tree for each President Wash
ington would be prouder of his Cincin-
natl oak than OF his mythical cherry
tree; and Jackson would find his hick

The Kansas Supreme court in the
case OF the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railway Company against
l. P. Campbell has handed down q de-
cision holding the act OF the legisla-
ture requiring railroads to furnish free
transportation to shippers of live
stock to be unconstitutional. The
court was unanimous and Its decision
reyerses both the Appellate court and
the Sedgwick county district court
The court says: This is q depriva-
tion of property without due process Of
law and denial OF the equal protection
OF the laws. and is. therefore. uncon-
stitutional and void under the four
teenth amendment to the constitu-
ton" The railroads have furnished
shippers OF one car load free transpor-
tation to market. the shippers paying
their fare home. For two car loads or
more the shipper Is carried free both
ways. This is the rule which has been
observed for years and is now In force.
The populist legislature OF 1897 passed
the law declared unconstitutional. ~
provided that shippers OF ono car loao
should be carried free both ways.

A recent editorial on Child Thrift
in France" has ELECTED the pleasing
fact that In several American cities the
school children are systematically en-
couraged to gave their pennies. Eight
years age plan OF saving, promoted
by the Grand Rapids savings bank, was
introduced experimentally into four
schools. After twelve weeks SUCCESS
full trial. II was taken up In all the
schools. Now the savings bank has
several thousand child depositors.
whose savings aggregate more than
seventeen thousand dollars. There
are now more than five hundred
schools in the country in which there
is similar system OF saving.

The state OF health OF one OF our two
surviving ex-Presidents was the sub
ject of numerous newspaper para
graphs few weeks ago. Neither Of
the two has yet reached the average
number OF years attained by ex-Presi
dents from Washington to Arthur.
Washington's brief life after he left
the presidency was longer than that OF
Polk or of Arthur for in the June fol-
lowing the close OF his chief magis-
tracy Polk was dead, and Arthur sur
vived his retirement less than two
years. John Adams lived twenty-five
years as exPresident, and his son,
John Quincy Adams, showed for near
ly nineteen years how Importantly a
former chief magistrate may serve his
country. Van Buren and Fillmore sur
vived the presidency twenty-one years:
Madison, nineteen years; Jefferson and
Tyler, seventeen years: Pierce. twelve
years, and Hayes nearly as long.

The project for building new IA
cade to the cathedral Of Milan. which
has been at the point OF execution for
fourteen years. is receiving SO much
opposition that 1t is not impossible
that 1t may be abandoned. The old
facade struck a dIscordant note, but
many OF its details were fine. AS the
bequest which was to largely pay the
cost of the construction OF the facade
was to revert to the great hospital
at Milan II the construction was not
begun within certain time, it is
probable that the Milnnese public viii
not regard the loss OF new facade
serious matter.
