HUMBLED THE SENATOR.
He Tried to Assert His Independence,
but Failed MiserabIy.

but Failed Miserably.
The writer remembers a good many
years ago when the late Ezekiel Clarke
was a member Of the state senate from
Johnson county. 1t is we'll known that
the senator or member from johnson
county is always expected to get
large appropriation for the state uni
Tersity! TO fail. would be political
death. Senator Clarke was anxious
to succeed and during the early part
Sc the session voted for everything.
If another senator had a bill, all he
had to do was to go and whisper in
EzelkiieYs ear, and be would vote aye"
zone day, however, Ezekiel came into
the senate with hair cut and a clean
shave. He sat upright in bis seat and
began to slaughter right and left.
State Senator George f, Wright look
ed across to where the senator from
johnson was sitting and inquired what
change had come over the senator
from Johnson county. The other sen
ator replied that the appropriation biz
for the state university had now pass
ed both houses, and the senator + om
johnson T2s going to make up for
lost tlH1e.
: Clarke kept on punching heads until
the senator from Jefferson, Moses A
McCbid, rose and solemnly Introduced
a bill for an act entitled An act
repeating the appropriation for the
state university" A broad smile pass
ed around the room, and everybody
except the senator from Johnson saw
the joke. But the spirit u leEity pass
ed away from Senator Clarke. He at
once assumed his humble attitude, and
the other boys voted him a. usual dur

HUNTING FOR A COMM UNITY,
Two Evangeists Travel from Kansas to
Boston on Strange Mission.

|
Two Drown horses drawing a sOmDer
| brown covered vehicle, which might
have been fashioned from a discarded
railroad car or night lunch wagon,
appeared at the corner of Washington
and School streets the other morning.
and for nearly an hour excited the in
| tereSt and drew comment from large
| number of pedestrians, says the Bos-
| ton Transcript. The wagon was about
I Is feet long and 6 feet wide, and its
sides were made up seemingly Of can
vas squares, each with a small window
| The only external indication of the
why and wherefore of its presence was
placard on each side. near the rear
of the wagon, upon which were the
words: Gospel Carette, COsmic Refor-
nation. Get Right With Cod"
/, In direct contrast to its plain exterior
was the scene revealed when the door
in front, through which the occupants
manipulate the reins, was opened.
COzily tucked in a corner of the vehicle
to the right Of the entrance, little
stove sent its heat radating through
the wagon; directly opposite was cup
board, a step farther a small organ
blocked the way, while in the back
ground was a sleeping cot. Books.
pamphlets, clothes, umbrellas, saw,
camp stools boxes. tables, charts and
various other articles were scattered
about. and a little black skye terrier
looked comfortably out from little
round hole in a wooden box.
The vehicle and its accouterments
are the property Of a father and son
who started out from Kansas to find
a community where Christians not
only pray and work for the heavenly
state. but where three institutions can
be established for the worlds CONVEX
sion to Christ. The first Of these
schemes aims at the reinstatement OF
church just like that at Jerusalem,
which is mentioned In the Acts of the
Apostles; second, the establishment of
a cosmopolitan university for the in
PRODUCTION of a reformed educational
system which will prevent contradic-
ton and disagreement on different sub
iects especially that OF Christianity;
third, the establishment of a SANTA
rum for the Introduction of health
system in harmony with the laws of
mans physical nature.
| Since leaving Kansas in their search
! for the desired community these mod
ern crusaders have travelled through
Illinois and thence to Cleveland, AL
bany and Worcester. They hold evan
gelicaI meetings to test the spirit of
the people, and they are still journey
ing that they may ascertain the condi-
tons in all places, north, south, east
and west, before making any decision
as to their triple quest. Their stay in
one place depends upon the degree of
fervor with which people meet their
ideas When they gain some knowl-
edge of the strength Of Christianity's
hold on BOstonians, they probably will
direct their horses heads to Maine.

day were for governor and state Off
GERS, members of the legislature and
county officers and for an amendment
to the state constitution looking to a
practical elimination of the Negro
from politics, as its adoption would
disfranchise the bulk of the Negro vote.
By far the greatest interest centered in
the fight over the amendment. At to-
days election a great .many Negroes
voted for it. The faculty of Livingston
college at Salisbury, one of the most
prominent Negro educational institute
ons in the south, voted for it. The
amendment was opposed by the fusion
forces of Populists and Republicans,
headed by Senators Butler and Pritch-
ard, and the campaign was the most Bit
ter waged in the state since RECONSTRUCT
ton days. There was full poll of the
Democratic strength, which, combined
with a small Negro vote and some
Populists and Republican votes, rolled
up an unprecedented majority. Re-

MORE SERIOUS THAN EVER.

Important Correspondence Between United
States and China.
The state department has made pub.
lie the following correspondence be.
tween Ii Hung Chang and the state
department regarding the abandon
ment of the campaign on Pekin:
kilograms sent to the United States
embassies in Berlin, London, Paris,
Rome and st. Petersburg, and to the
United minister, Toxic.
STATE DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON, August 1, 1900.
In reply to suggestion of Ii Hung
Chang that the ministers might be sent
under safe escort to Tien Tsin provided
the powers would engage not to march
on Pekin, the secretary of state. replied
on the 3Oth of July:
"This government will not enter into
any arrangement regarding disposition
or treatment of legations without first
having free communication with Minis
ter Conger. Responsibility for their
protection rests upon the Chinese gov.
ernment. Power to deliver at Tien
Tsin presupposes power to protect and
to open communication. This is in
sisted on"
This message was delivered to Vice.
roy Ii by Mr.. Goodnow on the 31st.
Viceroy Ii then inquired whether "if
communication were established be-
tween ministers and their governments
it could be arranged that the powers
should not advance on Pekin pending
negotiations"
To this inquiry the following reply
was sent on the 1st of August:
"Goodnow, Consul General, Shanghai {:
81 do not think it expedient to sub.
NIT the proposition of Earl Ii to the
other powers. Free communication
with our representatives in Pekin is
demanded as q matter of absolute
right and not as favor. Since the
Chinese government admits that it
possesses the power to give communi.
cation, it puts itself in an unfriendly
attitude by denying it. No negotia-
tions seem advisable until the Chinese
government shall have put the diplo-
matte representatives of the powers
in full and free communication with
their respective governments and re-
moved all danger to lives and liberty.
We would urge Earl Ii earnestly to
so advise the imperial authorities of
China to place themselves in friendly
communication and cooperation with
the relief expedition. They are as.
suming heavy responsibility in acting
otherwise. HAY"
