TOUR AT AN END.
La Fiesta de San Xavier Exhausts It's
Resources.

The opera ia Fiesta de San Xavier
was not put on in Emporia last night.
When the company of Topeka young
people arrived in Topeka en- route from
ottawa yesterday afternoon there was
no money in sight to pay travelling ex-
penses to Emporia, and the tour was
declared at an end.
The Topeka company went to Law
renee with the opera Monday, and the
audience that saw them was apprecia-
tive but small. The audience that saw
the opera in Ottawa Tuesday night was
just as appreciative but also just as
small. Appreciation will not pay the
expenses of several dozen ambitious
young people, and for this reason En-
poria and Wichita. where the opera was
also booked, We're prevented from see
ing ia Fiesta" r
The artillery division of the Kansas
National guard. for the benefit of which
the opera was produced, will not be able
to take a practice march on the pro-
ceeds. The fact that there are no pro-
ceeds is the reason. The money earned
was barely sufficient to pay expenses.

BOYCOTTEO.
Union Labor Puts Ban on Dewey
Celebration.

Chicago, April 26.-The long-talked of
boycott of the Dewey celebration by
organized labor took form today when
the executive committee of district of
the International Association of Ma
chinists issued an edlct declaring the
promoters of the celebration antagonis-
tic to union labor and ordering mem
bers of the union to take no part in it.
The Evening Post says it is reported
this afternoon that the material men
have forced a split in the contractors
association between which organization
and the building trades union a, war has
existed for two months, costing mill
lions of dollars in wages and paralyzing
building operations.
The report comes from member OF
the committee appointed by the city
council. The contractors for brick
work, it is said, have been forced by
the brick manufacturers to agree to ar
bitration, thus retiring from the posi-
tion assumed by the contractors as
sociation that 1.-The building trades coun-
ell must co. Some of the contractors
under pressure today agreed to treat
with the municipal committee and this
it is said means the beginning of the
end of one of the worst building trades
strikes Chicago has ever experienced

BAD MANNERS.
Senator Pettus of Alabama
Gives His Colleagues a Lecture
On Their Lack of Observance of
the PrOprieties.
SCOTT CASE TAKEN UP.
Last of the Contested Senatorial
Elections.
Statements of Chandler Come
Up in Argument.
CASE TAKEN UP.

Washington, April pa resolution
introduced by Mr.. Perkins (Cala) CALI
ing on the secretary of the treasury to
send to the senate the imports by
months and the rate of duty under the
reciprocal agreement that went into ef-
feet in 1898 was adopted.
Mr. Pettus (Ala.) then addressed the
senate in opposition to the resolution
declaring that Nathan B. Scott is en-
titled to ais seat as a senator from West
Virginia Mr.. Pettus presented the
minority report of the committee on
privileges and elections in the Scott
case, being the only member of the COM
mittee who declined to sign the majority
report. In opening his discussion, Mr..
Pettus referred to a statement Of Mr..
Chandler in the Quay case to the effect
that the votes of some senators were
cast against Mr.. Mantle in 1893, because
he was a silver man and the votes of
others, in retaliation, were cast against
Mr.. Corbett two years ago because he
was a gold standard advocate. He
hoped the statement was not true but if
it was those senators were unfit to act
as judges in such a case and unworthy
to hold seats in the senate.
Il desire" said he, ITO speak to SEN
atorS who can decide fairly upon their
4
Whim." He begged senators, therefore,
to lay aside any personal considerations
! in this case and decide it upon it's merits
as a proposition of law
Mr.. Pettus then entered upon an argu-
ment in support of his position that Mr..
| Scott was not entitled TO his seat, fol-
lowing closely the lines Of his report.
After having been interrupted by Mr..
| McComas to correct a statement of fact,
| Mr.. Pettus refused with some heat to
| permit an interruption by Mr.. SpoOneT
/ (Wis.) who desired to ask a question.
Il shall not yield for debate this ques-
| ton" said the Alabama senator, sit
is not fair and it is not just for a SEN
| ator to interrupt an argument for the
! purpose of seeing whether he can debate
| the question better than the man on the
4 floor. -
r think said Mr. Spooner, cit would
have been courteous in the senator tC
have assumed that I desired simply tc
ask a question:
"Oh, no." returned Mr.. Pettus, 'it
would not be; have heard the senator
debate. positions after asking a Ques-
ton. took necessary precautiOn.
do not approve of this practice of inter
rupting arguments. l believe that &
senator has right to interrupt another
to obtain information or to correct mis-
statements as the senator from Mary
land interrupted me, but this way o1
just bulging into the middle of an argu
ment is excessively bad manners ever
if it does so often occur in the United
States senate" (Laughter.)

BRYAN DID NOT SAY IT.
Was Not Reported Correctly in a
Chicago Papers Dispatch.

New York. April 26.-In a dispatch to
the Chicago Times Herald from Wichi-
ia, Kan, last night Mr.. Bryan was
quoted as saying that trusts and i'm
perialism were the paramount issues
this year. The Journal wired to Mr..
Bryan, asking if he had been quoted
correctly. Here is his reply:
CLAY Center, Kan, April 25.-To the
Editor of the Journal: The report is not
correct. I was shown a dispatch say
ing that Editor Morss had persuaded
me to drop silver, and was asked wheth-
er 1t was true. l replied that had not
dropped silver.
I have never said that other ques-
tions were more important than the
money question. I have said many
times, and now repeat, that at present
three questions, viz, money, trusts and
Imperialism, are dividing public men.
Men differ as to their relative i'm
portance, but have never attempted to
fix their relative Importance. The Re
publicans are wrong on all three ques-
tions, and expect to continue to oppose
the gold standard, the trusts and i'm
perialism. w. J. BRYAN"
